1. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Assume the motorcycle is as easy to see as other vehicles.

Assume other drivers can’t see you.

Not be concerned with taking steps to ensure that other drivers see you.

Ride offensively.

Because motorcycles are small in stature and have fewer and smaller lights than other vehicles, they can be difficult to see. For your safety, it is best to ride defensively and assume that others on the road do not see you.

2. If you accidentally lock your rear wheel while braking on a good traction surface, you should:

Keep it locked until you come to a complete stop.

Release the rear brake and only use the front brake.

Release the rear brake, then quickly re-apply it.

Release the rear brake and down shift.

If you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, keep it locked until you have completely stopped. Even with a locked rear wheel, you should still be able to control your motorcycle if it is upright and traveling in a straight line.

3. The shortest and safest stops are accomplished:

By using only the rear brake.

By using only the front brake.

By allowing the front tire to lock up.

By using both the front and rear brakes.

The shortest and safest stops are achieved by using both the front and rear brakes in a smooth and progressive manner, without skidding either tire.

4. If you are feeling tired while riding, you should:

Keep going and hope to wake up.

Ride faster.

Ride on the shoulder.

Get off the road and rest.

You should avoid riding if you are tired. When making a long trip, take rest breaks at least every two hours to reduce the risk of becoming fatigued.

5. Making eye contact with other drivers:

Is the best way to know that they see you.

Is not worth the effort it takes.

Does not mean that they will yield to you when they should.

Guarantees that they will yield to you.

You should never take eye contact as a guarantee that a driver will properly yield to you. It is not uncommon for drivers to look directly at a motorcyclist but fail to register that they are there.
