1. When you ride, the best gear to wear is:

Any gear that helps to protect you.

The lowest-priced gear.

Gear that looks good.

Any gear that fits.

You should wear gear that helps protect you while you ride. It is best to wear a DOT-approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

2. If you must stop quickly in a curve, you should:

Straighten up, square the handlebars, and stop.

Abruptly apply both brakes while leaning.

Apply only the rear brake.

Apply only the front brake.

If you must stop quickly while in a curve, you should first straighten and square the handlebars, then stop. If straightening your motorcycle is not possible, you should apply the brakes smoothly and gradually, reduce your lean angle, then increase the brake pressure as you slow down.

3. What can you do to increase your chances of being seen at an intersection?

Ride while using your headlight.

Swerve within your lane to draw attention to your motorcycle.

Raise your arms.

Avoid using your brakes.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, use your headlight and ride in a lane position that creates the best view of oncoming traffic. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle that allows you to take evasive action.

4. An approved helmet:

Allows the wearer to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding.

Looks good.

Does not have a chin strap.

Protects the wearer's hearing.

While some people believe that a helmet will limit their vision, this is not the case. Any U.S. Department of Transportation-approved helmet will allow the wearer to see as far as is needed for safe riding.

5. As the motorcycle’s weight moves forward while braking, you:

Can apply the front brake harder.

Should lessen the amount of pressure on the front brake.

Can apply the rear brake harder.

Lose traction.

As your weight shifts forward while you are braking, the amount of traction available to the front wheel increases. This means that you can begin to apply the front brake harder.

6. Most motorcycles have rounded, or convex, mirrors. These mirrors:

Are easy to get used to right away.

Make cars seem closer than they actually are.

Provide a narrow view of the road.

Make cars seem farther away than they actually are.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. You should practice judging distances in convex mirrors if you are not used to them.
