Read books about carrying passengers.

Practice riding on an empty road.

Flash your lights so others can see you.

Practice riding on the shoulder of a road.

Before transporting a passenger or heavy load in traffic for the first time, practice riding on a quiet road to get used to how your motorcycle handles differently with the additional weight.

5. Which of the following will help you ride safely on slippery surfaces?

Using only the front brake

Using both brakes

Using the center lane

Maintaining or increasing your speed

When riding on slippery surfaces, reduce your speed, brake using both brakes, and avoid sudden moves. Avoid the center of the lane and instead follow tire tracks left by cars. Always keep an eye out for hazards that may make a road surface especially slippery, such as oil spots and loose gravel.

6. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.
