1. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

2. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.

3. When braking on a slippery surface, you should:

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Use abrupt pressure on the front brake to prevent locking the front tire.

Only use the rear brake.

Use either brake, but use only one brake.

When riding on slippery surfaces, you should use both brakes to slow down. Squeeze the brake lever gradually to avoid locking the front wheel and use gentle pressure on the rear brake.

4. If another driver is following you too closely, it is best to:

Not worry about them.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Speed up.

Get off the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Increasing your speed may only encourage the driver to tailgate you at a higher speed.

5. Just like cars, motorcycles have blind spots. When switching lanes, you should:

Turn your head and check your blind spot.

Look only at your mirrors.

Rely on your peripheral vision.

Slow down so any vehicle in your blind spot can pass you.

Blind spots, by definition, are areas that you cannot see by just looking in your mirrors. Turn your head to the side and check over your shoulder for vehicles in your blind spot before you change lanes.

6. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.
