11. When conducting a pre-ride check, be sure that:

The brakes make a loud squeaking noise.

The brakes cause some friction with the steering.

Each brake can hold the motorcycle.

Only the rear brake can hold the motorcycle.

Check your brake levers individually before every ride. Make sure each one feels firm and holds the motorcycle when the brake is fully applied.

12. Switching to a lower gear is also known as:

Engine braking.

Acceleration.

Upshifting.

Coasting.

Shifting to a lower gear causes an effect similar to using the brakes. For this reason, downshifting is also known as engine braking.

13. If a friend has had too much to drink and wants to ride their motorcycle, you should:

Let them.

Encourage them to take roads that are not crowded.

Not get involved.

Take their keys.

Never let someone ride if they have had too much to drink. Do whatever you can to prevent them from riding, including taking their keys, if necessary. Arrange an alternative way for them to get home.

14. Which type of sign is yellow with black lettering or symbols?

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

15. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.
