1. Switching to a lower gear is also known as:

Engine braking.

Acceleration.

Upshifting.

Coasting.

Shifting to a lower gear causes an effect similar to using the brakes. For this reason, downshifting is also known as engine braking.

2. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.

3. 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.

Speed up.

Danger ahead.

Stop.

Merge.

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. If a lead rider extends their left arm straight down with their palm facing back, the group of riders should come to a stop.

5. An advantage to keeping a cushion of space between your motorcycle and other vehicles is that:

You can pass danger more quickly.

You will have a more narrow view of the road so you can stay focused.

You will have more time to react to the movements of others.

You can more easily follow the path of the next vehicle.

Maintaining a cushion of space between your motorcycle and other vehicles on the road will give you a clearer view of any emerging hazards, more time to react to hazards, and more space to maneuver around them.

6. When entering a curve, a group should:

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in pairs.

Ride on the shoulder.

While riding in a staggered formation is usually best, a group should switch into a single-file formation when turning, taking curves, or entering or exiting a highway.
