1. Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS) are designed to:

Prevent skidding and wheel lock-up.

Prevent brakes from activating if the roadway is dry.

Apply brakes automatically.

Warn you when your brake pad needs replacing.

Some motorcycles are equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). ABS is designed to prevent skidding and wheel lock-up when motorcyclists are stopping in straight-line, panic situations. ABS operates when maximum pressure is applied to both the front and rear brake controls. If electronic sensors detect the possibility of a wheel lock, brake hydraulic pressure is released then re-applied to maintain maximum braking effectiveness.

2. If your front tire goes flat while you are riding:

The steering will feel heavy.

The steering will feel loose.

There will be no change in the steering.

The ride will feel too smooth.

If the front tire of a motorcycle fails, it will cause the steering to feel heavy. If your steering feels heavy, immediately exit the road and inspect your tires.

3. If your motorcycle starts to wobble, it is best to:

Downshift.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Gradually apply your brakes.

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.

4. Passengers should:

Lean as the operator leans.

Hold onto their seat.

Sit as far back on the bike as possible.

Never hold onto the operator.

Passengers should sit directly behind the operator and lean as the operator leans. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding the operator, holding onto the operator's waist, hips, or belt.

5. You will ______ hear a tire going flat.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Seldom

Motorcycle riders will rarely actually hear a tire going flat. Tire failure is more often indicated by a change in how the motorcycle handles.

6. Riding on the far side of a lane when following another vehicle:

Is recommended because you will be seen easily.

Is not recommended because drivers seldom use their side mirrors and may not see you.

Is recommended because a passenger in the vehicle may tell the driver that you are there.

Is illegal because you have to ride in the center portion of the lane.

Most drivers do not look at their side mirrors as often as they look at their rearview mirror. Therefore, when following a car, it is generally best to ride in the center portion of the lane where you are most likely to be visible in the driver's rearview mirror.
