1. If you must ride over an obstacle, you should:

Decrease your speed as much as possible.

Lean the motorcycle to one side.

Speed up, if possible.

Stay on your seat and remove your feet from the footrests.

If you are unable avoid an obstacle and must instead ride over it, slow down and approach the obstacle at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Keep your motorcycle straight up and down, if possible. Just before contact, roll off the throttle slightly to lighten the front end of the motorcycle.

2. A pre-ride inspection should be done:

Before every ride.

Once a week.

Once a month.

Once a season.

To prevent any dangerous situations caused by technical issues, you should perform a thorough inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. Compared to a car, small technical problems can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle.

3. When riding at night, you should do all of the following, except:

Use your high beam.

Use the headlights of vehicles ahead to help you see.

Be visible.

Ride only in the left portion of your lane.

When riding at night, use your high beam (unless you are following or meeting another car), take advantage of the headlights of other vehicles, and wear reflective materials to increase your visibility. You should always be flexible about your lane position, selecting whichever position will help you to see, be seen, and have an adequate space cushion.

4. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

5. Your lane position should not:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Provide you with an escape route.

Welcome other drivers into your lane.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.
