15. Common drugs, such as cold tablets:

Can affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Usually won’t affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Pose no risk to a rider's operating abilities.

Are always acceptable to take before riding because they are sold over-the-counter.

Almost all drugs, including over-the-counter medications, have the potential to impact the abilities you need to ride safely. Make sure you understand the side effects of any drug before combining it with riding.

16. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before.

Not assume the passenger has traveled by motorcycle before and explain the process.

Not let them ask questions.

Not bother with explaining anything since they are only a passenger and not in control of the motorcycle.

A motorcycle passenger needs to understand how to ensure a safe ride ride for both themselves and the operator. An operator should never assume the passenger already knows what to do. Give a passenger complete instructions before every ride.

17. 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.

18. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Ride faster than usual.

Rider more slowly than usual.

Start slowing later than usual.

Try to squeeze into smaller gaps in traffic.

The added weight of a passenger will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to accelerate more slowly than usual, turn more slowly than usual, and require extra space to come to a complete stop. Ride more slowly, start slowing sooner when approaching a stop, open up a larger space cushion, and wait for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

19. When passing another vehicle:

You may ride on the shoulder.

You may complete the pass in a no passing zone.

You must start and complete the pass within a passing zone.

You should sound your horn to get the other driver to slow down.

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

20. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Are usually minimal.

Often balance out.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

21. When riding a motorcycle, a jacket should be worn:

No matter the weather conditions.

Only on cool days.

Only on warm days.

Only if the ride will be longer than half an hour.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket when riding, even in warm weather when you may not think you need a jacket. It can help protect you against the sun and dehydration in hot weather.
