1. Gloves can:

Make it difficult to control a motorcycle and should be avoided.

Help other drivers identify you.

Provide an improved grip on the handlebars.

Offer no protection.

Gloves can provide you with an improved grip on your motorcycle's handlebars. They can also protect your hands in the event of a crash.

2. When making a turn:

There is less traction available for stopping.

There is more traction available for stopping.

Stopping is no different than making a stop on a straightaway.

Stopping should never be attempted.

It is possible to brake while turning, but it should be done with great care. When a motorcycle is leaning to turn, there is less traction available for stopping because some of the traction is being used for turning.

3. Several factors influence blood alcohol concentration (BAC). Which of the following does not play a role?

The amount of alcohol consumed

How fast a person drinks

Body weight

Height

There are several major factors that can affect a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC). A BAC is determined in part by the amount of alcohol someone has consumed, how fast they consumed the alcohol, and their body weight.

4. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Ride faster than usual.

Rider more slowly than usual.

Start slowing later than usual.

Try to squeeze into smaller gaps in traffic.

The added weight of a passenger will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to accelerate more slowly than usual, turn more slowly than usual, and require extra space to come to a complete stop. Ride more slowly, start slowing sooner when approaching a stop, open up a larger space cushion, and wait for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

5. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

6. Keep an expanded cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you:

When conditions will make stopping more difficult than usual.

When you want to look at the scenery.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

To prevent the driver in front of you from knowing you are there.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a larger following distance.
