11. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

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

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes immediately.

Grip the handlebars firmly and gradually close the throttle.

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.

13. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick it away.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Swerve around the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

If a dog is chasing your motorcycle, downshift and slowly approach the dog. Once you have gotten close to the animal, accelerate and leave it behind. Do not attempt to kick it.

14. Use your mirrors when stopped at an intersection:

To see if vehicles parked on the sides of the street are entering traffic.

To look for vehicles changing lanes.

To watch for vehicles behind you that may not be slowing down.

To see if someone is planning to turn behind you.

When you are stopped at an intersection, use your mirrors to check for cars approaching you from behind. The drivers may not notice you until they are too close and you may need to react.

15. Riders who do not wear helmets while riding are ________ to die in a crash than riders who do wear helmets.

Half as likely

Twice as likely
