1. When carrying a passenger in a sidecar, you should:

Begin slowing sooner than usual.

Begin slowing later than usual.

Apply the brakes more firmly than usual to stop quickly.

Apply the brakes more softly than usual to keep from overworking them.

The added weight of a passenger in a sidecar will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to require extra space to come to a complete stop.

2. The control for the rear brake is usually located:

On the right handlebar.

On the left handlebar.

Near the left foot.

Near the right foot.

The rear brake of a motorcycle is usually operated with the right foot.

3. To be effective, a face shield should not:

Be free of scratches.

Allow clear views to both sides.

Be airtight.

Fasten securely.

An effective face shield should be free of scratches, be resistant to penetration, allow clear views to both sides, fasten securely, permit air to pass through, and provide enough space for eyeglasses or sunglasses to be worn underneath. It is important for a face shield to permit the passage of air because an airtight face shield can create fogging and make it difficult for a rider to see.

4. Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) are designed to:

Prevent skidding and wheel lock-up.

Prevent brakes from activating if the roadway is dry.

Apply brakes automatically.

Warn you when your brake pad needs replacing.

Some motorcycles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). ABS is designed to prevent skidding and wheel lock-up when motorcyclists are stopping in straight-line, panic situations. ABS operates when maximum pressure is applied to both the front and rear brake controls. If electronic sensors detect the possibility of a wheel lock, brake hydraulic pressure is released then re-applied to maintain maximum braking effectiveness.

5. A wobble, or shaking of the front wheel and handlebars, may be caused by:

Incorrect tire pressure.

Brakes that are not working properly.

A balanced load.

Excessive wind.

Most wobbles are caused by improper loading of the motorcycle, unsuitable accessories, or incorrect tire pressure.

6. When adjusting your mirrors, you should focus on:

The road behind and to the side of your motorcycle.

Your arms.

The road in front of your motorcycle.

The side of the motorcycle.

Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you. When properly adjusted, a mirror may show the edge of your arm or shoulder, but it’s the road behind you and to the side of you that is most important.
