1. More than half of all crashes:

Happen in the dark.

Involve riders who have little experience on their motorcycles.

Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.

2. If braking in a curve:

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

3. When riding at night, a motorcyclist should maintain a minimum following distance of:

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Five seconds.

Because it is more difficult to see and judge distances in the dark than in daylight, you should maintain an expanded following distance of at least three seconds when riding at night. It may take you longer than usual to realize the vehicle in front of you has stopped and you may need additional time to slow or stop to avoid hitting the vehicle.

4. When riding in a group, the best way to keep ranks close while maintaining an adequate safety cushion is to ride:

In pairs.

In a staggered formation.

In a single-file line.

In a passing formation.

A staggered formation is the best way to keep ranks close while still maintaining an adequate space cushion for all riders. Ride in a single-file line when riding in curves, turning, or entering or leaving a highway. Never ride side-by-side with another rider.

5. Lane sharing is:

Encouraged.

Encouraged, but only when the roadway is congested.
