1. A passenger should never:

Wear a helmet.

Lean when the operator leans.

Wear clothing that is tight.

Ride sidesaddle.

In South Carolina, passengers under the age of 21 must wear a helmet and eye protection, though it is recommended that all motorcycle riders wear helmets and eye protection. Passengers should avoid wearing loose clothing that might catch on the motorcycle and should always lean with the operator when turning. Passengers should never be allowed to ride sidesaddle.

2. When checking tire pressure:

Eyeballing the tire is a good method.

Use a tire gauge.

It is best to squeeze the tire.

Compare the height of the tire to another tire.

You should use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure before every ride. An under-inflated tire may still look okay, so a visual check is not enough.

3. Which of the following is not a factor in determining blood alcohol content (BAC)?

The amount of alcohol consumed

How fast the alcohol is consumed

The drinker's body weight

How often the drinker consumes alcohol

The three major factors that affect a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) are the amount of alcohol consumed, how fast the alcohol was consumed, and the drinker's body weight. It is illegal and dangerous to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

4. A motorcyclist should continually scan the road ahead for:

Road conditions.

Traffic conditions.

Escape routes.

All of the above.

Scan the road ahead to remain alert to changing traffic conditions, hazardous road conditions, and escape routes. Be prepared to react to any changing conditions.

Speed up.

Slow down.

Ride in a single-file formation.

The group will pull off at the next exit.

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. A lead rider raising their left arm and extending their index finger means that the group of riders should move into a single-file formation.

6. If hazards are on your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of the lane.

In the right portion of the lane.

In any portion of the lane.

On the shoulder.

When hazards exist to your left, it is often best to ride in the right portion of the lane. Be prepared to adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change.

7. If you are riding when it starts to rain, it is a good idea to:

Ride down the center of the lane.

Increase your speed.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pull onto the shoulder of the road.

Because of the presence of oil deposits, the center strip of a lane can be hazardous when wet. When rain starts to fall, it is best to ride in the tire tracks left by cars. It is advisable to reduce your speed on wet surfaces.
