6. If you must stop quickly in a curve, you should:

Straighten up, square the handlebars, and stop.

Abruptly apply both brakes while leaning.

Apply only the rear brake.

Apply only the front brake.

If you must stop quickly while in a curve, you should first straighten and square the handlebars, then stop. If straightening your motorcycle is not possible, you should apply the brakes smoothly and gradually, reduce your lean angle, then increase the brake pressure as you slow down.

7. Nearly half of all motorcycle crash fatalities are caused by:

Road conditions.

The rider’s helmet.

Alcohol impairment.

Mechanical failure.

Alcohol is a major contributor to motorcycle crashes, particularly fatal crashes. Studies show that 40 to 45 percent of all riders killed in motorcycle crashes had been drinking.

8. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.

9. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle?

The left position

The center position

The right position

There is no single best lane position.

No single lane position is always best and no single lane position should always be avoided. Adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change, choosing a position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you more easily.

10. When riding in rain or fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlight.

Use your low beam headlight.

Not use your headlight.

Alternate between your headlight's low and high beam settings.

You should use your low beam headlight when riding in snowy, rainy, or foggy weather. A high beam headlight can reflect off of these conditions and make it more difficult for a rider to see.
