2. A passenger should never:

Wear a helmet.

Lean when the operator leans.

Wear clothing that is tight.

Ride sidesaddle.

In South Carolina, passengers under the age of 21 must wear a helmet and eye protection, though it is recommended that all motorcycle riders wear helmets and eye protection. Passengers should avoid wearing loose clothing that might catch on the motorcycle and should always lean with the operator when turning. Passengers should never be allowed to ride sidesaddle.

3. Your motorcycle’s brake light is:

More noticeable than a car’s brake lights.

Less noticeable than a car’s brake lights.

Less important than a car’s brake lights.

The brake light of a motorcycle is usually not as noticeable as the brake lights of a car. Flashing your brake light before slowing or stopping can help other drivers notice that you are about to brake.

4. Swerving a motorcycle:

Requires a lot of traction.

Requires little traction.

Is a slow maneuver.

Should be done to avoid a hazard on a slippery road.

Swerving is a quick maneuver that requires a lot of traction in order to be safely executed. Making sudden moves, such as swerving, on slippery surfaces should be avoided.

5. 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.

Left turn

Right turn

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is bent at the elbow and pointing upward, it means the operator plans to turn right or change lanes to the right.
