1. When you are riding on a bridge grating, you should:

Always ride on the far right side of the lane.

Always ride on the far left side of the lane.

Slowly zigzag across the grating.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Crossing rain grooves or bridge gratings may cause your motorcycle to move in a weaving motion. This is usually not dangerous, so simply relax and proceed across the surface at a steady speed. Trying to ride at an angle to compensate for the weave is dangerous because it forces you to zigzag to stay in your lane.

2. When changing lanes:

There is no need to do a head check if you use your mirrors.

Mirrors provide a full view of the road around your motorcycle.

You should turn your head and look over your shoulder.

You can assume drivers will properly respond to your turn signal.

Motorcycles have blind spots just like any other vehicle. Always turn your head and look over your shoulder to check for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes.

3. When you park a motorcycle next to a curb, it should be:

Parked at a 90-degree angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

Parked at a 45-degree angle with the front tire touching the curb.

Parked like a car, with the front and rear wheels the same distance from the curb.

Parked at the left edge of the parking space so approaching drivers can more easily see the motorcycle.

When parking a motorcycle next to a curb, you should create at a 90-degree angle with the curb by touching your rear wheel to the curb.

Slow or stop

Left turn

Right turn

Backing up

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

5. To prevent getting fatigued on a long ride, you should do all of the following, except:

Dress warmly.

Limit the distance traveled in a day.

Take frequent rest breaks.

Take artificial stimulants.

To reduce the danger of fatigue when riding, dress to protect yourself against tiring weather conditions, such as wind and rain. Limit yourself to no more than about six hours of riding per day and stop for a break at least once every two hours. Avoid taking artificial stimulants since you may experience extreme fatigue when they start to wear off.

6. Which of the following is not an example of a slippery surface?

A dirt or gravel road

A strip of oil in the center of a lane

Mud on pavement

Dry pavement

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; oily areas; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.
