1. When riding in a vehicle's blind spot, you should:

Stay where you are to avoid surprising the driver.

Wave at the other driver to get their attention.

Slow down until you are out of the blind spot.

Pull over to the shoulder.

If you find yourself riding in a vehicle's blind spot, you should either speed up quickly or slow down and drop back to vacate the spot.

2. The middle portion of the lane usually contains an oily strip. You should:

Try to avoid the oily strip when it is raining.

Ride only on the oily strip, as it provides increased traction.

Avoid the entire center portion of the lane.

Not worry about oil or other items in a lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks build up in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this strip usually still provides enough traction more a motorcycle to operate safely. The strip is generally narrow enough that you can ride to either side of it and still be in the center portion of the lane.

3. When securing a load, you should place the load:

As high as possible.

As low as possible.

On a sissy bar.

Only on one side of the motorcycle.

Secured loads should be low. Putting them too high up, such as on a sissy bar, can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and upset its balance. Loads should be as evenly distributed as possible on each side of the motorcycle to avoid pulling the bike to one side.

4. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

5. If you borrow a motorcycle:

Don’t worry about checking the tire pressure.

Expect it to handle the same as your own bike.

The lender will make sure the brakes work so you don't have to.

Give yourself an extra cushion of space when riding to allow more time to react.

If you borrow a motorcycle, make all of the same pre-ride safety checks that you would make on your own motorcycle. You should ride cautiously when using an unfamiliar motorcycle and allow yourself extra space when stopping.

6. To accommodate a passenger, you may have to:

Adjust the shocks.

Adjust the handlebars.

Adjust the brakes.

Adjust the throttle.

Because of the extra weight placed on a motorcycle by a passenger, you may need to adjust the motorcycle's shocks before carrying a passenger. Because the motorcycle will sit at a different angle, you should also adjust the headlight and mirrors to compensate for the additional weight.

7. Reflective material on your helmet:

Helps you to be seen.

Is not allowed.

Should only be used at night.

Does not help you to be seen.

Reflective material on a vest or on the sides of your helmet can make you more visible to other drivers and should be used both day and night.

0.02 percent

0.04 percent

0.06 percent

0.08 percent
