1. On which of the following surfaces does a motorcycle have the best traction?

Dry pavement

Gravel

Snow

Leaves

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

2. A proper lane position can help you do all of the following, except:

Avoid other drivers' blindspots.

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Go faster.

Set up for turns.

Your lane position affects a number of factors that are important to your safety on the road. Among other things, your position should help you increase your ability to see and be seen, avoid other drivers' blind spots, and set you up for any turns you plan to make.

3. In any crash, you have a better chance of avoiding serious injury if you do all of the following, except:

Wear an approved helmet.

Wear face or eye protection.

Wear protective clothing.

Have a windshield.

You can reduce your risk of injury when riding a motorcycle by wearing an approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

4. When selecting a helmet, it is important that all of the following are true, except:

The helmet is DOT-compliant.

The helmet looks nice.

The helmet fits snugly.

The helmet does not have any defects.

To ensure that you have a helmet that will provide the best possible protection, you should choose one that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. It should fit snugly all the way around and have no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

5. Most crashes occur in broad daylight. To be more visible, you should:

Wear brightly-colored clothing.

Wear darkly-clothing.

Ride without your headlight.

Ride in a weaving pattern.

Because most crashes happen in broad daylight, you should always wear brightly-colored clothing while riding, even during the day.

6. Swerving a motorcycle:

Requires a lot of traction.

Requires little traction.

Is a slow maneuver.

Should be done to avoid a hazard on a slippery road.

Swerving is a quick maneuver that requires a lot of traction in order to be safely executed. Making sudden moves, such as swerving, on slippery surfaces should be avoided.

7. The front brake:

Provides less than half of a motorcycle's braking power.

Provides about 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power.

Should not be used unless the roadway is wet.

Should be the only brake you use.

The front brake is much more powerful than the rear one and provides at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
