1. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

2. Riding at night is usually:

Easier than riding during the day because you can more easily see the lights of other vehicles.

More difficult than riding during the day because it is harder to see.

Not allowed on highways.

Less distracting than riding during the day.

Riding safely at night is challenging because it is harder to see and be seen than it is during the day. The absence of normal shadows and light contrasts makes it harder to judge distances.

3. When you are being passed by a vehicle on your left, you should:

Help the other driver by moving as far to the right as possible.

Help the other driver by moving to the shoulder.

Ride in the center portion of your lane.

Ride in the left portion of your lane

When being passed, it is best to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest to the passing vehicle increases the risk of a collision. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle is also dangerous because it may tempt them to merge back into your lane too soon. Stay in the center portion of the lane when being passed.

4. Signals on a motorcycle:

Are not very important.

Are even more important than signals on larger vehicles.

Should not be used unless another vehicle is right next to the motorcycle.

Are less important than signals on larger vehicles.

Because motorcyclists are more vulnerable than the drivers of cars and trucks, appropriate use of signals by motorcyclists is even more important than it is for other drivers.

5. To help other drivers see you, you should wear:

Darkly-colored clothes.

Brightly-colored clothes.

Lights.

A black jacket.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing will help you to be seen by other road users. Wear clothes that increase your visibility both during the day and at night.

6. On a slippery surface, you should not:

Reduce your speed.

Avoid making sudden moves.

Use only the front brake when slowing or stopping.

Use both brakes when slowing or stopping.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should use both brakes when slowing or stopping, reduce your speed, and avoid making sudden moves. Be alert to oily areas, dirt, gravel, shaded areas, and bridges, as these surfaces are more likely to be slippery than others.
