8. In regards to drinking and riding, many penalties are:

Severe.

Up to a judge to decide.

Not too harsh.

Optional.

Oregon law applies severe mandatory penalties for drinking and riding. It is both illegal and dangerous to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

9. 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.

10. The best way to handle tailgaters is to:

Change lanes and let them pass.

Use your horn and make obscene gestures.

Speed up to put distance between you and the tailgater.

Come to a complete stop.

If possible, change lanes and let a tailgater pass your vehicle. Speeding up may result in the driver continuing to tailgate you at a higher speed, thereby increasing the danger.

11. When securing a load, you should place the load:

As high as possible.

As low as possible.

On a sissy bar.

Only on one side of the motorcycle.

Secured loads should be low. Putting them too high up, such as on a sissy bar, can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and upset its balance. Loads should be as evenly distributed as possible on each side of the motorcycle to avoid pulling the bike to one side.

At night.

During the day.

At dusk.

All of the above.

Wearing reflective and brightly-colored clothing is always a good idea when riding a motorcycle. Crashes occur in broad daylight and at night, so it is best to wear highly visible clothing at any time of day.

14. To swerve correctly:

Shift your weight quickly.

Turn the handlebars quickly.

Press the handgrip in the direction of the turn.

Press the handgrip in the direction opposite of the turn.

To execute a swerve, press the handgrip on the side of your desired turn. Press on the opposite handgrip to return to your original direction after you are clear of the hazard.
