1. A proper lane position can help you do all of the following, except:

Avoid other drivers' blindspots.

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Go faster.

Set up for turns.

Your lane position affects a number of factors that are important to your safety on the road. Among other things, your position should help you increase your ability to see and be seen, avoid other drivers' blind spots, and set you up for any turns you plan to make.

2. The proper body position on a motorcycle:

Allows you to sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips.

Allows you to sit as far back as possible and have to stretch when trying to reach the handle grips.

Makes you lean over the bike, requiring your arms to hold you up.

Allows for your knees to be kept far from the gas tank.

When riding, you should sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips. This will permit you to easily and comfortably reach and operate the controls.

3. When approaching a blind intersection with a stop sign, riders should:

Stop at the stop sign then proceed through the intersection.

Ignore the stop sign and move forward to get a better look.

Stop at the stop sign before moving forward to improve their view of cross traffic.

Proceed through the intersection without stopping.

When approaching a blind intersection that is controlled by a stop line or stop sign, you must first stop where indicated. You may then edge forward and stop again just short of where the cross traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is approaching. Make sure your front wheel stays out of the crossroad while you are looking.

4. In any crash, you have a better chance of avoiding serious injury if you do all of the following, except:

Wear an approved helmet.

Wear face or eye protection.

Wear protective clothing.

Have a windshield.

You can reduce your risk of injury when riding a motorcycle by wearing an approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

5. Which of the following will best protect you while riding?

Sunglasses

Goggles

A windshield

A face shield

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield will protect your entire face in the event of a crash. Googles will protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. Glasses or a windshield are not an adequate substitute for either goggles or a face shield.

6. When preparing to pass another vehicle on the left, you should:

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Get as close as possible to the vehicle in front of you.

Not signal your intentions, as that may distract the driver you are passing.

When passing another vehicle on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. Signal your intentions and check for traffic. Pass when it is safe to do so, then signal and return to your original lane when traffic allows.

7. It is important to flash your brake light when:

You are tired while riding.

You will be slowing where other drivers won't expect it.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals are not working.

Motorcycle brake lights are more difficult to see than the brake lights of larger vehicles, so flashing your brake light may help other drivers to notice it. You should flash you brake light before slowing down where other drivers may not expect you to slow down, such as in the middle of a block or when approaching an alley.
