1. How can a motorcycle operator discourage lane sharing by other drivers?

By giving dirty looks to other drivers

By riding in the center portion of the lane

By riding in the left portion of the lane

By riding in a zigzag pattern

By riding in the center portion of your lane, you will ensure that there is not a large space on either side of your motorcycle. Minimizing those spaces can help deter drivers from trying to share the lane with you.

2. Goggles will:

Protect only your eyes.

Be an equally as effective as a face shield.

Offer the same protection as a windshield.

Provide protection for your entire face.

Wearing goggles provides protection for your eyes, but not for the rest of your face. A face shield provides protection for your whole face and is recommended above goggles. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for a face shield or goggles.

3. As an operator, you should prepare a passenger to ride by instructing them to do each of the following, except:

Get on the motorcycle after the engine has been started.

Sit as far forward as possible.

Maintain a large space between themselves and you.

Keep their legs away from the muffler and chains.

Before beginning a ride, you should ask your passenger to mount the motorcycle only after the engine has been started. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding you and hold onto the motorcycle's passenger handholds or onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep their legs away from the muffler, chains, and other moving parts.

4. A motorcycle operator can slow down by:

Downshifting.

Upshfting.

Cross-shifting.

Rolling on the throttle.

Motorcyclists often slow down by simply downshifting. Motorcyclists should be aware that slowing down in this manner does not activate the brake lights.

5. When passing another vehicle:

The pass may be completed in a no passing zone.

The rider may travel up to 10 mph over the speed limit to complete the pass.

The pass must be started and completed within a passing zone.

The pass must be completed on the shoulder, if one is present.

Passing must be completed within the posted speed limits, and only in areas where passing is safe and legal.

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 extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

7. Your lane position should:

Avoid other road users' blind spots.

Provide a good view of the shoulder.

Provide a poor view of road hazards.

Invite others to share your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should help you to see others and be seen by them. Avoid riding in another driver's blind spot for a long period of time.
