11. Goggles can:

Protect your eyes and your face.

Protect your face but not your eyes.

Protect your eyes, but not your face.

Not protect your face or eyes.

Goggles can protect your eyes, but only a face shield can protect your entire face in a crash.

12. When riding behind a car, you should ride:

In any part of the lane.

In the part of the lane closest to the shoulder.

In the part of the lane that places your image in the car's rearview mirror.

As close to the car as possible.

When following a car, you should ride in a position that allows the driver to see you in their rearview mirror. Usually, that means riding in the center portion of the lane. Because most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than they check their side mirrors, being in this lane position increases the chance that they will see you.

13. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handle grips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat, hold both handle grips firmly, ease off of the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is). As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

Slow or stop

Left turn

Right turn

Backing up

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

15. When riding a motorcycle in the city, your attention should be:

Focused at least one half block ahead of you.

Focused about 10 feet ahead of you.

Focused behind you.

Less focused than when on a highway.

When riding in a city, you should consistently scan the road at a distance that is between one half block and one full block ahead of your motorcycle. It is important to be aware of vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and other hazards commonly found in cities. Scanning the road ahead may allow you to react to hazards before meeting them.
