1. To help provide space for drivers attempting to merge into your lane from an entrance ramp, you should:

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Ride on the far left shoulder.

Drivers merging onto a highway and into your lane may not notice your motorcycle. Give them plenty of space to safely merge by moving into a different lane, if you can.

2. Compared to riding during the day, a motorcycle operator who is riding at night should do all of the following, except:

Ride more slowly.

Allow more space between their motorcycle and other vehicles.

Use their high beam whenever possible.

Tailgate other vehicles.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. You should always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night.

3. Riding between two vehicles moving in the same direction:

Is illegal.

Is encouraged if traffic is heavy.

Is encouraged during the day to prevent traffic jams.

Is acceptable if the motorcyclist is comfortable with the move.

In Oregon, it is illegal for motorcycles and mopeds to pass between two moving vehicles on a multilane highway or one-way street.

4. Where is the throttle usually located?

Near the left footrest

Near the right footrest

On the left handle grip

On the right handle grip

The throttle of a motorcycle is usually located on the right handle grip. Be sure to know where all of your motorcycle's controls are located before riding.

5. Helmets are:

Required for all motorcycle passengers.

Not required, but recommended.

Only required for passengers under the age of 21.

Only required for passengers who do not have their own motorcycle license.

Oregon law requires all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved helmet while riding.

6. When being passed, do not move into the portion of the lane farthest from the passing vehicle because:

The passing vehicle may re-enter your lane too early.

You may prevent another vehicle from passing you.

The portion of the lane nearest the passing vehicle is better.

You are more likely to experience a wind blast from the passing vehicle on the far side of the lane.

When being passed, you should not ride on the side of your lane that is farthest from the passing vehicle. Doing so may tempt the driver to return to your lane before there is actually room for them to do so safely.
