1. When riding a motorcycle:

It is a good idea to drag your feet.

Your toes should be pointed downward.

You should keep your feet firmly on the footrests.

You should try to keep your feet away from the controls.

To maintain proper balance, your feet should be placed firmly on the footrests and not dragged on the ground. Do not point your toes downward, as this may cause them to catch on the road. Keep your feet near the controls so you can reach them quickly, if needed.

2. If you are using an unfamiliar motorcycle, what should you do before riding?

Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

3. A DOT-approved helmet:

Restricts the wearer's vision to the sides.

Can greatly reduce the severity of a head injury.

Is usually uncomfortable.

Makes it more difficult for the wearer to control their motorcycle.

Wearing a helmet while riding greatly improves your chances of avoiding serious injury to your head or neck in the case of a crash. A DOT-approved helmet will not restrict your vision to the sides.

4. To get the best possible protection, wear a helmet that:

Fits snugly.

Is well-worn and broken in.

Is pretty loose.

Does not have a chinstrap.

Choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. It should fit you snugly all the way around and be free of obvious defects.

5. You should do a pre-ride inspection:

Before every ride.

About once every 10 rides.

Once a month.

Once a season.

A small technical fault can have much more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car. To avoid these consequences, inspect your motorcycle before every ride.

6. Your lane position should:

Protect your lane from other drivers.

Allow you a nice view of scenery.

Place you in other drivers’ blind spots.

Hide your intentions from other drivers.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.

7. Most motorcycles:

Have only a front brake.

Have only a rear brake.

Have brakes in both the front and rear.

Have three brakes: one in the front, one in the rear, and an emergency brake.

Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.
