6. To adjust for added weight when riding with a passenger, you should:

Operate at a slower speed than usual.

Maintain a shorter following distance that you would if riding without a passenger.

Operate at a faster speed than usual.

Brake a little later than you would if riding without a passenger.

The extra weight of a passenger means that your motorcycle will need more time than usual to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the added weight, you should reduce your speed; start slowing earlier than normal; increase your following distance; and seek out larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging with traffic.

7. When braking, you should:

Always use both brakes.

Only use the front brake.

Only use the rear brake on slippery surfaces, such as wet pavement.

Only use the rear brake.

Use both brakes every time you slow or stop, regardless of the condition of the road.

8. Why should a load be placed low on a motorcycle?

If a load is too high, it raises the center of gravity.

If a load is too high, it may interfere with the turn signals.

It may be difficult to see over a load that is placed too high.

Others can't see your load if it is low.

Placing a load too high on a motorcycle will raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and risk upsetting its balance.

9. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Help you avoid road hazards.

Help you avoid other drivers’ blind spots.

Help you avoid being seen by other drivers.

Increase your ability to be seen by others.

A well-chosen lane position should increase your ability to see and be seen and keep you out of other drivers' blind spots. It should help you avoid surface hazards, protect your lane from other drivers, communicate your intentions to others, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and offer you an escape route from any hazards that may arise.

10. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick it away.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Swerve around the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.
