The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake. It supplies at least three-quarters of the motorcycle's total stopping power.

2. A pre-ride inspection usually takes:

A few minutes and should be done no more than once a month.

A few minutes and should be done before every ride.

Over an hour and should be performed by a mechanic.

Over an hour and must only be done if you will be carrying a passenger.

Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection before every ride. It should usually take only a few minutes.

3. Usually a good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Change lanes and let the tailgater pass.

Ignore the tailgater.

Call the police.

Speed up until there is distance between your motorcycle and the tailgater.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass your motorcycle. Speeding up may only increase the danger by prompting them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

4. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Be visible to other drivers.

Keep your intentions unknown from other drivers.

Always stay within a foot of another vehicle.

Ride on the shoulder.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

5. It is most important to flash your brake light when:

Passing another vehicle.

You will be slowing down suddenly.

There is a stop sign ahead.

Your signals do not work.

A motorcycle's single brake light is not as noticeable as the two larger brake lights of a car or truck. It can be a good idea to flash your brake light to help others notice it, especially when you need to slow down more quickly than surrounding drivers may expect.

6. When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcycle operator should be prepared for:

Open parking spaces.

A motorist to unexpectedly pull out of a parking space and into traffic.

Parking meters.

Other motorists to see the motorcycle and stay out of its way.

When passing a row of parked cars, a motorcyclist should be prepared for a parked car to suddenly pull out of a parking space and into traffic. It is often safest for a motorcyclist to ride in the left portion of their lane when passing a row of parked cars on their right to create the most possible space between their motorcycle and any potential hazards.
