Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Maine

22. If you find your motorcycle being chased by a dog, you should:

Swerve around the animal.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Ride alongside the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind.

23. A motorcycle “fits” you if:

You are able to touch your feet to the ground while seated.

You are able to reach the controls by stretching.

The handlebars go over your head.

Your feet are unable to rest on the foot pegs.

A motorcycle fits you properly if your feet can reach the ground while you are seated on the motorcycle. It should be easy for you to reach and operate the controls.

24. Smoothly downshifting on motorcycles:

Is a useless action.

Can allow the rider to engine brake.

Is illegal.

Should not be done if other vehicles are around.

Engine braking by smoothly downshifting can be a useful option for motorcyclists. If you choose to engine brake, apply your brake lights separately to let other drivers know that you are slowing down.

25. To help provide space for drivers attempting to merge into your lane from an entrance ramp, you should:

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Ride on the far left shoulder.

Drivers merging onto a highway and into your lane may not notice your motorcycle. Give them plenty of space to safely merge by moving into a different lane, if you can.

26. As you slow or stop, you should:

Shift up through the gears.

Shift down through the gears.

Take the bike out of gear.

Stay in the same gear.

You should shift down through the gears with the clutch as you slow or stop. Stay in first gear while you are stopped so you can move quickly, if needed.

27. Approved helmets:

Can limit the view of the motorcycle operator.

Allow the motorcycle operator to see as far to the sides as necessary.

Are dangerous to wear.

Do not have to be worn if the motorcycle operator thinks their view would be limited.

While some people worry that wearing a helmet may dangerously limit their field of vision, this is not the case. Any approved helmet will let the operator see as far to the sides as is needed for safe riding.

28. Goggles will:

Protect only your eyes.

Be an equally as effective as a face shield.

Offer the same protection as a windshield.

Provide protection for your entire face.

Wearing goggles provides protection for your eyes, but not for the rest of your face. A face shield provides protection for your whole face and is recommended above goggles. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for a face shield or goggles.
