1. When traveling on a motorcycle with a sidecar, the passenger should ride:

On the motorcycle seat.

In the sidecar.

Either on the motorcycle or in the sidecar.

Neither on the motorcycle or in the sidecar.

If your motorcycle has a sidecar, it is best for your passenger to ride in the sidecar. They should keep their hands inside the sidecar at all times.

2. 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.

3. Most crashes occur during the day. To lessen the chance of being involved in a crash, you should:

Wear darkly-colored clothing.

Wear brightly-colored clothing.

Not ride during the day.

Look for safer routes.

To minimize your chances of being in a crash, you should make yourself as visible as possible by wearing brightly-colored clothing when riding, even during the day.

4. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

5. Riding directly alongside another vehicle:

Can place you in the driver's blind spot.

Is better than riding behind the other vehicle.

Is safe because it limits your escape routes.

Should only be done during the day.

Avoid riding directly alongside another vehicle, since this may place you in the vehicle's blind spot. If the driver can't see you, they may enter your lane without warning. Riding alongside a vehicle is also dangerous because the vehicle will block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

6. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes immediately.

Grip the handlebars firmly and gradually close the throttle.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.
