1. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

2. If you wait an hour per alcoholic drink before you ride your motorcycle:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and riding.

Your skills will not be affected.

Side effects may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

3. When braking on a slippery surface, you should:

Use only the rear brake.

Use only the front brake.

Use both brakes.

Not use any brakes, but downshift.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should reduce your speed and avoid making sudden moves. Use both brakes if you must slow down or stop.

4. If you find your motorcycle being chased by a dog, you should:

Swerve around the animal.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Ride alongside the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind.

5. A leather jacket:

Can make a rider look cool.

Is usually too warm to wear when riding.

Provides protection in a crash.

Should not be worn when riding.

For your protection, you should wear a long-sleeved jacket, ideally made of leather, when riding. In warm weather, a leather jacket can help protect you against dehydration. Many motorcycle jackets are designed to help keep you cool even when the weather is hot.

6. Which fabric provides the best protection for motorcycle riders?

Leather

Denim

Wool

Polyester

Jackets and pants made of leather offer the greatest degree of protection to those riding motorcycles.

7. Which of the following is not an example of a slippery surface?

A dirt or gravel road

A strip of oil in the center of a lane

Mud on pavement

Dry pavement

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; oily areas; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
