1. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?

Intersections

Highways

Parking lots

Residential areas

The greatest potential for conflict between your motorcycle and other traffic is at intersections. Be extra alert when riding somewhere where another vehicle may cross in front of your path of travel.

2. During acceleration, a sidecar attached to a motorcycle will:

Feel like it is lagging behind.

Feel like it is accelerating faster than the motorcycle.

Vibrate uncontrollably.

Make acceleration seem faster.

A sidecar is essentially an unpowered mass attached to the side of your motorcycle. Due to its inertia, it will feel like it is lagging behind when you accelerate.

3. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Not wear a jacket if it's warm out.

Always wear a jacket, even if it’s warm out.

Wear shorts in warm weather.

Not be concerned about long shoelaces.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket made of appropriate material when riding. This is true even in warm weather because wearing a jacket is important to help prevent dehydration. You should also always wear long pants, and tuck in the laces of your footwear to prevent them from catching on the motorcycle.

4. If a driver is following you too closely, you should:

Flash your brake light before you slow to warn the other driver.

Accelerate.

Pull over to the side of the road.

Slow down.

If someone is following you too closely, it is a good idea to flash your brake light before slowing down. A tailgater may be concentrating on you and not see upcoming hazards that require traffic to slow down.

5. On a slippery surface, you should not:

Reduce your speed.

Avoid making sudden moves.

Use only the front brake when slowing or stopping.

Use both brakes when slowing or stopping.

To ride safely on a slippery surface, you should use both brakes when slowing or stopping, reduce your speed, and avoid making sudden moves. Be alert to oily areas, dirt, gravel, shaded areas, and bridges, as these surfaces are more likely to be slippery than others.
