Maintain a steady speed or accelerate gradually.

Accelerate drastically.

Not worry about your speed.

Roll on the throttle through a turn to stabilize your suspension. Maintain a steady speed or accelerate gradually through the turn.

2. When riding a motorcycle:

It is a good idea to drag your feet.

Your toes should be pointed downward.

You should keep your feet firmly on the footrests.

You should try to keep your feet away from the controls.

To maintain proper balance, your feet should be placed firmly on the footrests and not dragged on the ground. Do not point your toes downward, as this may cause them to catch on the road. Keep your feet near the controls so you can reach them quickly, if needed.

3. To reduce your reaction time, you should:

Ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Accelerate before turning.

When approaching a potentially dangerous area, such as an intersection, you should cover the clutch lever and both brakes in order to reduce the amount of time you will need to react to any hazards.

4. The gearshift lever is operated by:

Your right hand.

Your right foot.

Your left hand.

Your left foot.

The gearshift lever of a motorcycle is located in front of the left footrest and is operated by the rider's left foot.

5. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually safest to approach the tracks:

By proceeding straight within your lane.

At a 45-degree angle.

At a 90-degree angle.

At a fast speed.

In general, it is safest to simply proceed straight in your lane when crossing angled railroad tracks. Turning to approach tracks at a right angle can be dangerous because it may send you traveling into another lane.

6. One way to tell if your rear tire has gone flat while riding is if:

There is a hissing noise coming from the rear of the bike.

The back end is jerking from side to side.

You are unable to accelerate.

The rear brake does not work.

If your rear tire fails, the back of your motorcycle will likely jerk from side to side. It is rare for motorcyclists to actually hear a tire fail.
