1. When riding in a group while passing another vehicle, it is best to:

Allow one rider to fully pass the other vehicle before another rider begins to pass.

Allow several members of the group to pass the other vehicle at once.

Have the last rider in the group wave to the driver being passed to signal that no other motorcycles are approaching.

Pass in a staggered formation.

Riders in a group should overtake another vehicle one at a time. Each rider should complete their pass and resume their position in the group formation before the next rider begins to pass.

2. A passenger on a motorcycle should:

Mount the motorcycle before the engine starts.

Mount the motorcycle after the engine starts.

Sit as close to the rear of the motorcycle as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Passengers should get on a motorcycle only after the engine has been started and the transmission is put in neutral. They should sit as far forward as possible without hindering the operator's control of the motorcycle and should hold onto the operator's waist, hips, or belt.

3. When riding in a group, motorcyclists:

Do not need space cushions.

Should increase their space cushions.

Should reduce their usual space cushions by half.

Should maintain adequate space cushions.

When riding in a group, you should maintain close ranks but still keep an adequate space cushion around each rider.

4. The front brake:

Should only be used when you need to stop quickly.

Should be used only under slippery conditions.

Is not as effective as the rear brake.

Is safe to use, if used properly.

Always use both brakes any time you slow or stop. It is safe to use the front brake, which is more powerful than the rear brake, as long as you use it properly.

5. Face shields and goggles:

Will likely never need to be replaced.

Will develop scratches and become brittle, requiring regular replacement.

Should be made of breakable materials so they can break away in the event of a crash.

Should not allow air to pass through.

Face shields and goggles, being made of plastic, will develop scratches and become brittle as they age. Replace them regularly to ensure maximum protection and comfort.

6. When it is raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Wet pavement is especially slippery when it first begins to rain. Deposits of oil left by cars will not yet have washed off the roadway. If it is raining, it is safest to ride in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track will often be your best choice, although this may vary.
