Wearing darkly-colored clothing.

Turning off their headlight.

Following another vehicle very closely.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing.

To maximize your chances of being seen by other road users, you should wear brightly-colored clothing with reflective materials, use your headlight at all times, and use your signals and brake light properly.

3. The front brake:

Should only be used when you need to stop quickly.

Should be used only under slippery conditions.

Is not as effective as the rear brake.

Is safe to use, if used properly.

Always use both brakes any time you slow or stop. It is safe to use the front brake, which is more powerful than the rear brake, as long as you use it properly.

4. Which of the following provides the best protection?

Sunglasses

Windshield

Goggles

Face shield

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for the wearer's entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles may protect someone's eyes, but not the rest of their face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either.

A jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely
