Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Kentucky

1. All of the following will lessen your chances of being involved in an accident, except:

Remaining alert.

Identifying hazards and prioritizing risks.

Riding without a headlight.

Maintaining a space cushion.

To reduce your risk of being involved in a crash, you should remain alert and ready to react to any hazard. Identify hazards and decide the order in which you need to address the hazards. Always use your headlight to make yourself more visible and maintain an adequate space cushion around your motorcycle at all times.

2. Where is the throttle usually located?

Near the left footrest

Near the right footrest

On the left handle grip

On the right handle grip

The throttle of a motorcycle is usually located on the right handle grip. Be sure to know where all of your motorcycle's controls are located before riding.

3. When braking, you should use:

The front brake only.

The rear brake only.

Both front and rear brakes.

Either the front or rear brake, but not both.

You should always use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

4. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield protects the wearer from:

Insects.

Headlight glare.

Noise.

Sunshine.

In addition to protecting your face from injury in a crash, a face shield protects you from wind, dust, dirt, rain, insects, and pebbles thrown up from surrounding vehicles.

5. Before every ride, it is important to check all of the following, except:

The spokes.

The tire tread.

The lights.

The seat fabric.

Before every ride, you should complete a thorough check of your motorcycle. Be sure to check the rims and spokes to make sure none are bent, loose, or damaged; the condition and tread of the tires; and all of the lights.

6. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes gradually.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Trying to accelerate out of a wobble is dangerous and will only make your motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly (without trying to fight the wobble), gradually close the throttle to slow down, and move your weight as far forward and downward as possible. Pull off the road as soon as you can.

7. When a vehicle attempts to pass you from behind, you should:

Move to the center portion of the lane.

Move to the left portion of the lane.

Move to the right portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about which portion of the lane you are using.

When being passed, it is generally best to ride in the center portion of your lane. Being too close to the passing vehicle increases the risk of a collision.
