19. A shatter-resistant face shield:

Can protect a rider's face in a crash.

Is only useful in protecting riders from dirt.

Does not offer as much protection as goggles.

Should not be used with a helmet.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can provide protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles can protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A face shield also provides routine protection from dirt, dust, insects, rain, and pebbles.

20. It is important to flash your brake light when:

You are tired while riding.

You will be slowing where other drivers won't expect it.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals are not working.

Motorcycle brake lights are more difficult to see than the brake lights of larger vehicles, so flashing your brake light may help other drivers to notice it. You should flash you brake light before slowing down where other drivers may not expect you to slow down, such as in the middle of a block or when approaching an alley.

21. Many over-the-counter drugs:

Increase the danger of riding.

Decrease the danger of riding.

Only affect your riding if you drink along with taking the medication.

Have the same effect on everyone.

Like alcohol, many other drugs (including prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, and illegal drugs) have side effects that may impair your ability to ride safely.

22. The primary source of information about your motorcycle should come from:

The motorcycle's former owner.

The owner’s manual.

A library book about motorcycles.

A motorcycle enthusiast.

The owner's manual should be your primary source of information about your specific type of motorcycle. Be sure to read the manual before operating your motorcycle for the first time.

23. Crashes are more likely to occur among:

Experienced riders.

Beginning riders.

Those familiar with their motorcycle.

Those who have completed a safety course.

Crashes are the most likely to occur for untrained, beginning riders who are unfamiliar with their motorcycle.

24. If you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings and your motorcycle begins to weave, you should:

Brake suddenly.

Steer in a weaving pattern.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the grooves.

Move to the leftmost portion of the lane.

A motorcycle may weave while riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, but this is generally not dangerous. If your motorcycle begins to weave, simply relax and proceed straight ahead at a steady speed. Trying to ride in a zigzag pattern to compensate for the weave will only increase the hazard.

25. Riding between two vehicles moving in the same direction:

Is illegal.

Is encouraged if traffic is heavy.

Is encouraged during the day to prevent traffic jams.

Is acceptable if the motorcyclist is comfortable with the move.

In Oregon, it is illegal for motorcycles and mopeds to pass between two moving vehicles on a multilane highway or one-way street.
