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. Taking corners too fast:

Can cause the rider to go into another lane.

Is better than going too slowly.

Often causes the rider to stay in their lane.

Is acceptable because motorcycles are smaller than other types of vehicles.

Taking a corner too fast may cause you to cross into another lane or go off the road. Be sure to decelerate before beginning to take a turn or curve.

2. Can clothing help prevent injuries in the event of a crash?

No, clothing is not really for protection.

No, clothing is more of a personal choice.

Yes, but only if garments are very loose and flap in the wind.

Yes, if pants and a jacket cover your arms and legs completely.

Appropriate clothing can reduce the risk of injury in a crash. Choose a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs, are made of sturdy material, and are snug enough that they do not flap in the wind.

3. A simple way to make your motorcycle easier to see is to:

Ride with a large flag attached to its frame.

Ride with the headlight turned on.

Wave at other drivers.

Ride on the shoulder whenever possible.

You can make yourself easier to see by wearing brightly-colored, reflective clothing. Ride with your headlight on at all times and use your turn signals and brake light appropriately.

4. It is most important to flash your brake light when:

Passing another vehicle.

You will be slowing down suddenly.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals do not work.

A motorcycle's single brake light is not as noticeable as the two larger brake lights of a car or truck. It can be a good idea to flash your brake light to help others notice it, especially when you need to slow down more quickly than surrounding drivers may expect.

5. When preparing to pass another vehicle on the left, which portion of the lane should you ride in?

The left portion

The center portion

The right portion

The shoulder

When preparing to pass another vehicle on its left, you should ride in the left portion of the lane to increase your line of sight and make yourself more visible to oncoming traffic.

6. If you are not traveling slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, what could happen?

Your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid.

The horn may go off.

Your motorcycle may lurch and the front tire may skid.

Your motorcycle may lurch and a warning light will go on.

If you are not riding slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid, causing you to lose control of your motorcycle. Be sure that you are moving slowly enough before shifting into a lower gear.

7. When stopping, it is best to:

Grab at the front brake lever.

Keep your knees against the gas tank and keep your eyes up.

Apply increasing pressure to the rear brake.

Only use the front brake.

For maximum straight-line braking, you should apply the brakes smoothly and firmly. As more weight transfers forward, more will be more traction available at the front wheel, allowing you to apply the front brake with progressively increasing force while reducing the pressure being used on the rear brake. Keep your knees against the gas tank and your eyes up to help keep yourself moving in a straight line.
