1. Helmets are:

Required for all riders.

Not required, but recommended.

Only required for inexperienced motorcycle users.

Georgia law requires riders to wear U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmets every time they ride. A helmet is a rider's best defense against head and neck injuries in the event of an accident.

2. To reduce the chances of a collision, a motorcyclist should:

Stare straight in front of their motorcycle.

Be unwilling to move to avoid a potential hazard.

Scan their path of travel, looking at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of their motorcycle.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a collision, consistently scan your path of travel at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your motorcycle. Scanning the road ahead will give you time to react to a hazard before meeting the hazard.

3. When it starts raining, it is best to:

Get off the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

When it starts to rain, avoid riding in the center of the lane. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by cars ahead of you. The left tire track is often best for riding, but this can vary based on traffic and other conditions.

4. If your front wheel locks while you are braking, you should:

Keep the tire locked until your next stop.

Continue squeezing the front brake lever.

Release the front brake and immediately re-apply it.

If the front wheel locks up while you are braking, release the pressure from the front brake. Immediately re-apply pressure to the brake with controlled gradual pressure.

5. Your motorcycle should fit you, meaning:

Your fingertips should barely reach the handlebars when you are seated on the motorcycle.

The seat should be one foot higher than your waist when you are standing next to the motorcycle.

Your feet should comfortably reach the ground when you are seated on the motorcycle.

A motorcycle fits you appropriately if your feet comfortably reach the ground while you are seated. Be sure a motorcycle fits you before riding.

6. To reduce your reaction time, you should:

Ride more slowly than the speed limit.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Cover the clutch and the brakes.

Ride with extreme caution when approaching an intersection. Cover the clutch and both brakes to reduce your reaction time, if needed.

7. Which of the following is not recommended as protective apparel for motorcycle users?

Long pants

Gloves

A baseball cap

When riding a motorcycle, it is highly recommended that you wear protective apparel. Clothing that may help protect a motorcycle user in the case of a crash include long-sleeved jackets; long, heavy pants; over-the-ankle, closed-toe boots; and full-fingered leather gloves. It is a good idea to cover as much skin as possible when riding a motorcycle.

8. Most motorcycle/automobile accidents occur:

At intersections.

On the open road.

In parking lots.

Most collisions between motorcycles and automobiles take place at intersections. The most common cause of these accidents is the automobile operator failing to properly yield the right-of-way to the motorcyclist.
