6. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Do one, then the other.

Do both at the same time.

Always apply the brakes first, then swerve.

Try instead to use only the brakes.

If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should perform both actions separately. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake. Do not do both at the same time.

7. When riding downhill or shifting into first gear, you may need to:

Use your brakes to slow down before downshifting safely.

Speed up before downshifting safely.

Swerve to the left.

Flash your brakes to ensure that drivers behind you know you are downshifting.

Before shifting into a lower gear, make sure you are riding slowly enough to shift safely. Downshifting while going too fast may cause the motorcycle to lurch and the rear wheel to skid. When riding downhill or shifting into first gear, you may need to use the brakes to slow to a safe speed before downshifting.

8. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride:

In the front of the group.

Right behind the leader.

At the back of the group.

Wherever they are most comfortable.

When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader near the front of the group. This allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from the back of the group.

9. It is difficult for other motorists to see motorcycles at night. To make up for that, a motorcycle rider should:

Reduce their speed when riding at night.

Sound their horn repeatedly when riding at night.

Not ride at night.

Stay directly in front of another vehicle to be seen in their headlights when riding at night.

Strategies for safely riding at night include reducing your speed, increasing your following distance, using the lights of the car ahead to help see farther down the road, using your high beam headlight (unless following or meeting another vehicle), and being flexible about your lane position.

10. In a normal turn:

The motorcycle and rider should lean together.

The motorcycle and rider should lean in opposite directions.

The motorcycle should lean, but the rider should not.

The rider should lean, but the motorcycle should not.

During normal turns, the motorcycle and the rider should be leaning together at the same angle. In slow, tight turns, only the motorcycle should lean while the rider keeps their body straight up.
