Oregon Motorcycle Permit Test

In Oregon, motorcycles are required to have between one and three white headlights; at least one red taillight; one white license plate light; at least one red brake light; amber turn signal lights (if the motorcycle was built after 1972); a red reflector on the rear; at least one rearview mirror; a horn; fenders on all wheels; at least one brake; and an exhaust system in good working order. All lighting must be U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-compliant.

When marijuana is smoked, it can begin to affect the smoker within minutes and effects can last for between two and four hours. When marijuana is eaten, it may take over an hour to begin to affect the consumer, but the effects of the marijuana may last for more than six hours.

There are several advantages to keeping groups of riders small. In comparison to a large group, a small group is easier for other vehicles to pass safely, is less likely to get separated by traffic or stop lights, and creates less need for slower riders to hurry to catch up to the rest of the group.

If you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped. You should still be able to steer your motorcycle with a locked rear wheel.

Strategies for safe riding on slippery surfaces include reducing your speed, avoiding sudden moves, staying away from the edge of the road, and riding in the tire tracks left by other cars.

While riding in a staggered formation is usually best for a group of two-wheeled motorcycles, three-wheeled motorcycles are too wide to allow this formation. A group of riders on three-wheeled motorcycles should travel in a single-file line.
