1. When riding in a group, you should:

Never use a staggered formation.

Place inexperienced riders at the back of the group.

Not use your mirrors.

Not tailgate other riders within the group.

When riding in a group, it is generally best to use a staggered formation. Use your mirrors periodically to check on riders behind you. Both the lead and sweep riders should be experienced motorcyclists who know group riding procedures well. Maintain proper space cushions within the group of riders.

2. During the day, you should:

Not ride with your headlight on.

Ride with your headlight on, but only if it is cloudy.

Always ride with your headlight on.

Use your headlight if you think it helps.

You should always have your headlight on when riding, even during the day. This can make you twice as likely to be noticed by other drivers.

3. 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.

4. A face shield should:

Allow a clear view to both sides.

Prevent air from passing through it.

Be tight enough to prevent glasses from fitting underneath it.

Should not fasten too tightly.

To be effective, a face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through; and permit enough room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.

5. Engine braking:

Should not be done because it damages the engine.

Is similar to using the brakes.

Makes a loud noise.

Is not reliable.

Shifting to a lower gear produces an effect similar to that of using the brakes. This is known as engine braking.

6. Generally, the body eliminates how many alcoholic drinks per hour?

One

Two

Three

Four

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. The amount of time required to lower a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) can vary, so it is safest not to operate any motor vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol.

7. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.
