1. Motorcycles:

Do not have blind spots because of their small size.

Have blind spots, but they are so small they should not cause concern.

Have blind spots that should be routinely checked.

Are too small to have blind spots.

Motorcycles have blind spots, just like any other vehicle. Always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes. Head checks should be a regular part of your scanning routine.

2. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.

3. When following another vehicle as a beginning rider, you should:

Maintain a minimum four-second following distance.

Get as close to the other vehicle as possible.

Never be concerned about your following distance.

Always ride in the left portion of the lane so the driver can easily see you.

A following distance of at least four seconds is recommended for beginning riders. Increase your following distance any time conditions are less than perfect.

4. When riding in a group, it is best to put inexperienced riders near the front because:

Experienced riders can more easily keep an eye on them.

They will get lost if they are leading.

They may slow the group down as the leaders.

They will ride too fast in any other position.

In a group, less experienced riders should ride toward the front, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can easily watch them.

5. Motorcycle windshields:

Are a good substitute for a face shield.

Are a good substitute for goggles.

Will not protect your eyes from the wind.

Do not protect against items thrown from other vehicles.

A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either a face shield or goggles. Most windshields will not protect your eyes from the wind.

6. More than half of all crashes:

Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.

Happen at night.

Are caused by worn tires.

Involve riders who have ridden their motorcycles for less than six months.

Always take extra care when riding a new or unfamiliar motorcycle. Most crashes involve riders who have had less than six months of experience with the motorcycle that they are using.
