1. ______ are often used on road surfaces to direct operators into the proper lanes for turning.

Flashing red lights

Flashing yellow lights

Dashed white lines

Painted white arrows

When approaching an intersection, a rider may come across white arrows painted onto the pavement. These arrows tell operators the direction in which they must travel from the indicated lane after following the instructions of any signs or signals.

2. Generally, the body eliminates how many alcoholic drinks per hour?

One

Two

Three

Four

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. The amount of time required to lower a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) can vary, so it is safest not to operate any motor vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol.

3. To help other drivers see you, you should wear:

Darkly-colored clothes.

Brightly-colored clothes.

Lights.

A black jacket.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing will help you to be seen by other road users. Wear clothes that increase your visibility both during the day and at night.

4. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, you should:

Gradually brake.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

5. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.
