Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Pennsylvania

1. The proper body position on a motorcycle:

Allows you to sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips.

Allows you to sit as far back as possible and have to stretch when trying to reach the handle grips.

Makes you lean over the bike, requiring your arms to hold you up.

Allows for your knees to be kept far from the gas tank.

When riding, you should sit far enough forward that your arms will be slightly bent when holding the handle grips. This will permit you to easily and comfortably reach and operate the controls.

2. Keeping a cushion of space around your motorcycle:

Is only necessary for beginning motorcyclists.

Allows you time and space to react to hazards.

Allows you to weave through traffic when you need to.

Makes you vulnerable.

Your first and best protection from any kind of hazard is simply to keep your distance. Maintaining a cushion of space on all sides of your motorcycle will give you time and space to maneuver around any danger that arises.

3. The best lane position:

Is always the right portion of the lane.

Is always the center portion of the lane.

Is always the left portion of the lane.

Varies based on road, weather, and traffic conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. You should vary your lane position in response to changes in riding conditions.

4. A face shield:

Provides protection for the eyes and face.

Is not recommended.

Is required.

Does not protect the face as well as goggles.

A plastic, impact-resistant face shield provides the greatest degree of protection for a wearer's eyes and face. Eyeglasses or sunglasses are not an adequate substitute. In Vermont, you are not legally required to wear eye or face protection if your motorcycle has a windshield, though it is recommended.

5. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Are usually minimal.

Often balance out.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.
