1. If the road is wet, you should avoid:

The left portion of a lane.

The center portion of the lane.

The right portion of the lane.

All areas of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks collect in a strip in the center portion of a lane. This strip usually still provides enough traction for motorcyclists to operate safely, except when the road is wet. The strip is usually narrow enough that you can ride to its side and still be in the center portion of the lane.

2. You should check your tires for all of the following, except:

Air pressure.

Tread.

General wear.

Flexibility.

When doing a pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle, you should check the air pressure, general wear, and tread of your tires.

3. Which of the following is not considered protective clothing for a motorcyclist?

A jacket

Boots

Gloves

A stocking cap

You should wear appropriate protective clothing when riding. Protective garments include sturdy pants and jackets that entirely cover your arms and legs, boots or heavy shoes that cover and support your ankles, and sturdy gloves.

4. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is discouraged because:

You may have a difficult time getting to a highway exit.

You may be in the other vehicle’s blind spot.

You may block the driver's view.

It prevents other drivers from passing both of you.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. The driver may enter your lane without warning if they can't see you. The vehicle will also block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

5. If you wait one hour to ride after having one alcoholic drink:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and driving.

Your riding skills will not be affected by the alcohol.

Effects from the alcohol 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.

6. Motorcycle windshields:

Are a good substitute for a face shield.

Are a good substitute for goggles.

Will not protect your eyes from the wind.

Do not protect against items thrown from other vehicles.

A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either a face shield or goggles. Most windshields will not protect your eyes from the wind.

7. A potential danger of braking too hard is:

Losing traction on one or both wheels.

Coming to a complete stop before you expect to.

Popping a tire.

Taking too long to stop.

If you over-apply your brakes, you may lose traction on one or both wheels and crash.
