7. The front brake:

Provides less than half of a motorcycle's braking power.

Provides about 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power.

Should not be used unless the roadway is wet.

Should be the only brake you use.

The front brake is much more powerful than the rear one and provides at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

8. When riding in a group, it is best to put inexperienced riders near the front because:

Experienced riders can more easily keep an eye on them.

They will get lost if they are leading.

They may slow the group down as the leaders.

They will ride too fast in any other position.

In a group, less experienced riders should ride toward the front, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can easily watch them.

9. A motorcyclist's cushion of space:

Should always stay the same.

Should vary according to riding conditions.

Is not necessary in most situations.

Should be avoided to keep traffic moving safely.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

10. More than half of all crashes:

Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.

Are caused by worn tires.

Happen in the dark.

Involve riders who have little experience on their motorcycles.

Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.

11. A group of riders should merge onto a highway in:

A single-file formation.

A staggered formation.

Pairs.

A pyramid formation.

While a staggered formation is usually best under normal riding conditions, a group of riders should switch to a single-file formation when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

12. A motorcyclist is well-protected if they are wearing:

A jacket that allows the arms to be exposed.

Boots with tall heels.

Leather gloves.

Shoes that stop below their ankle.

For your protection while riding, it is best to wear a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely. Boots or shoes should be tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Footwear should have low heels that will not catch on the foot pegs or rough road surfaces. Gloves made of leather or another durable material will help protect your hands in the event of a crash while providing you with an improved grip on the controls.
