21. Riding at night is usually:

Easier than riding during the day because you can more easily see the lights of other vehicles.

More difficult than riding during the day because it is harder to see.

Not allowed on highways.

Less distracting than riding during the day.

Riding safely at night is challenging because it is harder to see and be seen than it is during the day. The absence of normal shadows and light contrasts makes it harder to judge distances.

22. Which of the following does not offer protection to a motorcycle rider?

A leather jacket

Boots that go over the ankle

A baseball cap that fits snugly

Gloves

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

23. You have been drinking alcohol. If you wait an hour for each drink before riding your motorcycle:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and riding.

Your riding skills will not be affected.

Side effects from the drinking may still remain.

You will be okay as long as you ride slowly.

On average, the body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, some alcohol may accumulate in the body even if a person consumes only one drink per hour. Their abilities and judgment can still be impaired.

24. Reflective clothing should:

Be worn only at night.

Be worn only during the day.

Not be worn.

Be worn day and night.

Brightly-colored and/or reflective clothing will increase your chances of being seen under any conditions. Remember that most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight so it is still best to wear bright clothing during the day.

25. To lessen your chances of being involved in an accident, you should:

Ride within a foot of the vehicle in front of you.

Wear dark clothing.

Signal only when you feel like it.

Stay alert and be prepared to act to avoid a crash.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.
