6. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.

7. When following a car, usually the best portion of the lane to ride in is:

The left portion.

The center portion.

The right portion.

The left or right portions.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

8. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

9. Shatterproof goggles, a face shield, or a windshield:

Must be used when riding at speeds of 35 mph or faster.

Must be used all the time.

Are always optional.

Are only required for operators under 21 years of age.

If their motorcycle does not have a windshield, an operator riding at speeds above 35 mph must wear goggles with transparent lenses, eyeglasses, or a transparent face shield that is shatter-resistant and of sufficient size to protect their eyes against airborne materials and other road debris.

10. 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.
