1. You should do a pre-ride inspection:

Before every ride.

About once every 10 rides.

Once a month.

Once a season.

A small technical fault can have much more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car. To avoid these consequences, inspect your motorcycle before every ride.

2. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

You may prevent another vehicle from passing you.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.

3. When deciding on a lane position, you should:

Always ride in the center portion of the lane.

Always ride in the left portion of the lane.

Always ride in the right portion of the lane.

Be flexible and base your decision off of numerous factors.

In general, there is no single best lane position. No portion of the lane need be avoided at all times. Position yourself in the portion of the lane where you are most likely to be seen and you can maintain a cushion of space around you.

Plans to turn left.

Is about to stop.

Plans to turn right.

Is about to slow down.

Instead of mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is bent at the elbow and pointing upward, it means the operator plans to turn right or change lanes to the right.

5. A motorcyclist is well-protected if they are wearing:

A jacket that allows the arms to be exposed.

Boots with tall heels.

Leather gloves.

Shoes that stop below their ankle.

For your protection while riding, it is best to wear a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely. Boots or shoes should be tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Footwear should have low heels that will not catch on the foot pegs or rough road surfaces. Gloves made of leather or another durable material will help protect your hands in the event of a crash while providing you with an improved grip on the controls.

6. When selecting a helmet, make sure it is all of the following, except:

Designed to meet U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

Snug.

Defect-free.

Attractive.

You should select a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation and state standards; fits snugly all the way around; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.
