1. A face shield should:

Allow a clear view to both sides.

Prevent air from passing through it.

Be tight enough to prevent glasses from fitting underneath it.

Should not fasten too tightly.

To be effective, a face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through; and permit enough room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.

2. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

3. When braking:

Use only one brake if it is a non-emergency situation.

Only use both brakes if you are riding on wet pavement.

Use both brakes regardless of the circumstances.

Use only the front brake.

You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

4. When riding on a slippery surface, you should:

Increase your speed.

Make sudden moves.

Move to the edge of the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Strategies for safe riding on slippery surfaces include reducing your speed, avoiding sudden moves, staying away from the edge of the road, and riding in the tire tracks left by other cars.

5. You should do a pre-ride inspection:

Before every ride.

About once every 10 rides.

Once a month.

Once a season.

A small technical fault can have much more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car. To avoid these consequences, inspect your motorcycle before every ride.
