8. To lessen your chances of an accident, you should:

Only ride in the afternoon.

Follow the vehicle in front of you as closely as possible.

Not look ahead and focus only on your controls.

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

9. Riding at night:

Is discouraged.

Is made safer by wearing reflective clothing.

Is not safe because other drivers cannot see your turn signals.

Should only be done in the city.

You should wear reflective materials when riding at night to make yourself more visible to other road users.

10. When riding in a group, it is best to put inexperienced riders near the front because:

Experienced riders can more easily keep an eye on them.

They will get lost if they are leading.

They may slow the group down as the leaders.

They will ride too fast in any other position.

In a group, less experienced riders should ride toward the front, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can easily watch them.

11. The best lane position is:

The one that lets you travel the fastest.

The one that allows you to draft off of other vehicles.

The one that allows you be seen by other motorists.

The one that places you in other vehicles’ blind spots.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise. Choose a lane position that maximizes your space cushion.

12. An adequate cushion of space between your motorcycle and other vehicles:

Allows you time to react if another driver makes a mistake.

Keeps you in a single area of the lane, limiting your movement.

Allows you to rely on others to identify hazards.

Requires you go faster to stay with traffic.

Maintaining a cushion of space on all sides of your motorcycle helps to ensure that you have time and space to react if another road user makes a mistake.

13. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always avoid the left portion of a lane.

Always avoid the right portion of a lane.

Always avoid the center portion of a lane.

Use whichever portion of the lane is safest.

There is no single lane position that you always need to avoid. Adjust your position in response to changing conditions on the road.

14. A motorcycle needs:

Less frequent attention than a car.

More frequent attention than a car.

To have pre-ride checks performed only by a mechanic.

To be serviced only at a dealer.

Because a small technical fault can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car, motorcycles need to be checked more frequently. Complete a thorough check before every ride.
