1. If hazards are on your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of the lane.

In the right portion of the lane.

In any portion of the lane.

On the shoulder.

When hazards exist to your left, it is often best to ride in the right portion of the lane. Be prepared to adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change.

2. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Maintain your usual space cushion.

Brake later than usual.

Ride a little more slowly than usual.

Ride a little faster than usual.

Your motorcycle will sit lower than normal under the additional weight of a passenger. To accommodate, you should ride a bit more slowly than usual, particularly when riding through curves, through corners, or over bumps. The extra weight also means that your motorcycle will take longer than usual to speed up, slow down, or stop, so you should maintain a larger space cushion when carrying a passenger.

3. Clothing made of which type of material can offer the best protection to motorcyclists?

Leather

Wool

Polyester

Silk

Leather garments can provide the greatest level of protection to motorcyclists. It is important to wear clothing that covers your legs and arms entirely when riding a motorcycle.

4. When riding at night, you should:

Be flexible about your lane position and adjust to changing conditions.

Travel at a faster speed than usual to get to your destination more quickly.

Always use your low beam headlight to see better.

Decrease your following distance so you can be as close as possible to the vehicle ahead.

Always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night. Be especially careful to employ safe riding strategies when riding under conditions that are less than ideal.

5. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Keep riding, as the wobble will likely correct itself.

Quickly brake.

Close the throttle to slow down.

Accelerate quickly.

Trying to accelerate out of a wobble will only increase the problem. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down while gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as you can, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Once off the road, you should address the problem causing the wobble.

6. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Means that they see you.

Guarantees that they will yield to you.

Doesn’t mean that they see you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

You should not rely on eye contact to guarantee that a driver will yield to you. It is not uncommon for a driver to look directly at a motorcyclist and still fail to actually notice them.

7. If you are using an unfamiliar motorcycle, what should you do before riding?

Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

8. A group of riders should pass another vehicle:

In a staggered formation.

In a pyramid formation.

One at a time.

In a splintered formation.

On a two-lane highway, a group of riders should pass another vehicle one at a time. The second rider should not begin to pass until the first rider has safely re-entered the original lane. Riders should continue in this pattern until they have all safely passed the vehicle.
