1. What can help reduce the risk of a head or neck injury in the event of a crash?

Riding on the shoulder

Riding under the speed limit

Wearing a helmet

Not allowing a passenger on the motorcycle

Wearing a helmet is the single most effective thing you can do to reduce the risk of head or neck injuries in the event of a crash.

2. When adjusting your mirrors, you should focus on:

The road behind and to the side of your motorcycle.

Your arms.

The road in front of your motorcycle.

The side of the motorcycle.

Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you. When properly adjusted, a mirror may show the edge of your arm or shoulder, but it’s the road behind you and to the side of you that is most important.

3. A DOT-compliant helmet has all of the following, except:

An impact-resistant outer shell.

An impact-absorbing inner liner.

A chinstrap retention system.

Bright colors painted on the outside.

Any U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet is required to have an impact-resistant outer shell, an impact-absorbing inner liner, a comfort liner, and a chinstrap retention system.

4. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, you should:

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Relax on the handgrips.

If either of your tires go flat while you are riding, hold the handgrips firmly, ease off the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you need to brake, gradually apply the brake to the tire that is not flat. As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

5. One of the benefits of performing regular maintenance on your motorcycle is that:

The motorcycle will ride well for a long period of time.

The maintenance check will take a lot of time.

Maintenance will be costly.

Maintenance checks can often prevent parking tickets.

A motorcycle will continue to ride like new if it is properly maintained and routine inspections become a part of its regular maintenance cycle.

6. When braking, you should:

Squeeze the front brake and press the rear brake.

Grab at the front brake and squeeze the rear brake.

Jam on the front brake and grab at the rear brake.

Press down on the front brake and jam on the rear brake.

To brake, squeeze the front brake lever and press down on the rear brake pedal. Always use both brakes when slowing or stopping.

7. When braking, you should use:

The front brake only.

The rear brake only.

Both front and rear brakes.

Either the front or rear brake, but not both.

You should always use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

8. When approaching an object or uneven surface that you cannot avoid, you should:

Make sure the motorcycle is leaning to one side.

Speed up.

Swerve quickly.

Rise slightly off the seat to allow your legs to absorb the shock.

If you cannot avoid riding over an obstacle or uneven surface, you should approach it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can, make sure that your motorcycle is upright, and rise slightly off your seat so your knees can absorb some of the force of impact. Just before contact, roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end.
