Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be slippery surfaces. Motorcyclists should ride with extra caution when riding over slippery surfaces.

4. The proper footwear for riding a motorcycle:

Has long, loose laces.

Has short heels.

Has tall heels.

Is always sneakers.

When riding, you should wear sturdy footwear that is high enough to cover and support your ankles. Short-heeled footwear is best because taller heels may catch on rough surfaces. Laces should be tucked in so that they can't be caught on anything.

5. When is it important for a rider to use their mirrors?

When slowing down or stopping suddenly

When stopped at an intersection

When changing lanes

All of the above.

It is particularly important for a rider to check their mirrors when slowing down or stopping, when stopped at an intersection, when changing lanes, and when turning.

6. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.
