1. When choosing a helmet, you should ensure that it:

Has no cracks or defects.

Looks nice.

Fits loosely.

To get the best possible protection, choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. It should fit snugly all the way around and be free of obvious defects, like cracks, loose padding, and frayed straps.

2. The best way to stay out of trouble while riding a motorcycle is to:

Look well ahead of your motorcycle.

Avoid high-density traffic areas.

Ride at speeds faster than the speed limit.

To avoid running into dangerous situations while riding, you should consistently scan the road well ahead of your motorcycle. Watch the road ahead to identify and react to potential hazards before meeting them.

3. What can remove alcohol from a person's system?

Time

Coffee

Exercise

The only way to sober up after drinking is to give your body the time it needs to remove the alcohol. There are no techniques that will speed up this process.

4. When being passed from behind, which portion of the lane should you ride in?

Right

Center

Left

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

5. A pre-ride inspection:

Takes only minutes.

Takes about an hour.

Should only be done by a certified mechanic.

You should do a pre-ride inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. This will usually take only a few minutes.

6. When changing lanes:

Your mirrors can adequately show you your surroundings.

Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors.

Activate your turn signal and immediately move to the right or left.

Like any vehicle, motorcycles have blind spots. In addition to using your mirrors, you must always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

7. When sitting on a motorcycle, you should:

Use your arms to hold up your body.

Sit at an angle so your arms can support your weight.

Sit so you can use your arms to control the motorcycle.

Sit with a posture that allows you to use your arms to control your motorcycle. You should not be positioned in a way that requires your arms to prop up your body and support your weight.

8. Lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are separated by:

White lines.

Yellow lines.

Road signs.

White lines are used to separate traffic moving in the same direction. Solid lines indicate that drivers are not permitted to pass, whereas dashed lines indicate that drivers are permitted to pass, if it is safe to do so.
