1. If you are riding behind a car, you should:

Stay in a lane position that makes you visible to the driver.

Always ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Not be concerned about your placement.

Always ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding directly behind a car, it is usually safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. If you are riding in the center of the lane, you are most likely to be visible in the rearview mirror of the vehicle ahead. Most drivers check their rearview mirror more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

2. For greatest safety, your helmet should:

Fit tightly at the base and loosely at the top.

Fit loosely all the way around.

Fit snugly all the way around.

Be worn only on long rides.

Helmets should fit snugly all the way around. Wearing a helmet is a good idea at all times; most motorcycle crashes happen on short trips.

3. Making eye contact with another driver:

Indicates that the driver sees you.

Doesn’t mean that the driver will properly yield to you.

Guarantees that the other driver will properly yield to you.

May make the driver mad.

Never rely on eye contact as an assurance that a driver will properly yield to you. It is common for drivers to look directly at motorcyclists and still fail to notice them.

4. Most motorcycles:

Have only a front brake.

Have only a rear brake.

Have brakes in both the front and rear.

Have three brakes: one in the front, one in the rear, and an emergency brake.

Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

5. Riding in the central lane position:

Keeps others from seeing you.

Is always the safest option when approaching intersections.

Discourages others from sharing your lane.

Should be avoided, if possible.

Motorcycles need a full lane to operate safely. It is dangerous, and generally prohibited, for a motorcycle and another vehicle to travel next to one another in the same lane. Riding in the center of your lane discourages others from trying to share your lane.
