1. Riding gloves should:

Not be worn because they will make your hands too hot.

Be worn to provide a better grip on the handgrips.

Not be worn because they will make it more difficult to work the controls.

Be worn only on cooler days.

Gloves made of leather, or another durable material, should be worn when riding. They will provide you with an improved grip on the handgrips, as well as help protect your hands in the event of a crash.

2. Where is the throttle usually located?

Near the left footrest

Near the right footrest

On the left handle grip

On the right handle grip

The throttle of a motorcycle is usually located on the right handle grip. Be sure to know where all of your motorcycle's controls are located before riding.

3. Passing and being passed when riding a motorcycle is not much different than when driving a car. However:

A motorcycle's visibility is more critical than that of a car.

A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

4. When riding in a group, you should:

Never use a staggered formation.

Place inexperienced riders at the back of the group.

Not use your mirrors.

Not tailgate other riders within the group.

When riding in a group, it is generally best to use a staggered formation. Use your mirrors periodically to check on riders behind you. Both the lead and sweep riders should be experienced motorcyclists who know group riding procedures well. Maintain proper space cushions within the group of riders.

5. When preparing to pass another vehicle, you should ride in the left portion of your lane because:

It increases your line of sight.

It decreases your line of sight.

It makes it difficult to see beyond the vehicle.

It allows the other driver to speed up.

When preparing to pass on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane, both to increase your line of sight and to make yourself more visible to drivers already in the passing lane.
