1. 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.

2. Hearing protection is:

Not needed if you wear a helmet.

Needed in addition to a helmet.

Only needed on windy days.

Not needed if you are carrying a passenger.

Exposure to engine and wind noise can damage your hearing, even if you are wearing a helmet. Hearing protection can guard against this while still allowing you to hear essential sounds like horns and sirens.

3. If either tire goes flat while riding, you should:

Roll on the throttle.

Hold the handle grips loosely.

Gently apply the brake of the non-flat tire.

Increase your speed to exit the road more quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat while you are riding, you should ease off the throttle and maintain a straight course as you slow down. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat, if you are certain of which tire that is.

4. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

5. When going through a curve, you should:

Always stay in the same portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the left portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the right portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Remember that the best path may not follow the curve of the road.

Road and traffic conditions can change at any time. Always be prepared to change your lane position as appropriate no matter where you are on a roadway. The best path through a curve does not necessarily follow the curve of the road.

6. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle operator?

The left position in the lane

The center position in the lane

The right position in the lane

There is no single lane position that is best for all situations.

There is no lane position that is always best and no lane position that should always be avoided. Select a lane position that is appropriate for your current riding conditions, allowing you to maintain an adequate space cushion and be visible to others.

7. Do not change gears on railroad tracks because:

Your motorcycle may stall.

You might go too fast.

Other drivers may not be expecting you to change gears.

The uneven surface may make it more difficult to switch gears.

It is best not to shift gears when crossing railroad tracks. There is a chance your motorcycle might stall while you are on the tracks.

8. When riding at night you should:

Increase your speed.

Decrease your following distance.

Use the vehicle in front of you to help see.

Wear tinted glasses.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. You should always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night.
