7. How many alcoholic drinks need to be consumed before a rider may begin to feel the effects?

One

Three to four

Six

More than eight

As little as one alcoholic drink can affect a person's ability to ride. It is both illegal and dangerous to ride a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol.

8. Which formation is best for keeping the riders in a group close together?

Pyramid

Staggered

Single-file

Compressed

A staggered formation is generally the best way for a group to maintain close ranks while also allowing each rider to maintain an adequate cushion of space. A single-file formation is preferable when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

9. When changing lanes, riders should:

Rely only on their mirrors to identify other vehicles.

Turn their head to look for traffic behind them.

Not worry about other traffic.

Slam on the brakes to allow any vehicles in their blind spot to pass.

A motorcycle has blind spots just like any other vehicle. A rider must always turn their head to check for traffic before changing lanes.

10. Which of the following provides a rider with the best protection?

Goggles

A face shield

A windshield

Eyeglasses

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles will protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield or eyeglasses are not a substitute for either goggles or a face shield.

11. When passing another vehicle:

You must complete the pass without exceeding the speed limit.

You may complete the pass in a no passing zone if the pass was started before the no passing zone began.

You may exceed the speed limit.

You should pass on the shoulder.

All passes must be completed within the posted speed limits and only in areas where passing is permitted.

12. Small vehicles can appear and seem to be traveling than they actually are.

Farther away, more slowly

Farther away, faster

Closer, more slowly

Closer, faster

Small vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This phenomenon can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge the location and speed of a smaller vehicle.
