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. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Protects more than just your eyes.

Does not protect your face as well as goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield helps protect your entire face, including your eyes. Goggles can protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either.

2. A proper lane position should do all of the following, except:

Allow you to set up for turns.

Allow an escape route.

Allow you to avoid wind blasts from other vehicles.

Allow you to be in another vehicle’s blind spot.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

3. Reflective clothing should:

Be worn only at night.

Be worn only during the day.

Not be worn.

Be worn day and night.

Brightly-colored and/or reflective clothing will increase your chances of being seen under any conditions. Remember that most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight so it is still best to wear bright clothing during the day.

4. If carrying a load in a sidecar, the motorcycle's stopping distance:

May be increased.

May be decreased.

Is not a concern.

Will be similar to the stopping distance of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Because adding a load to a motorcycle increases its weight, the vehicle's inertia may increase, causing its stopping distance to increase. Begin slowing and stopping earlier when riding a motorcycle with a load or passenger in its sidecar.

5. Motorcycle headlights are:

Usually more powerful than a car’s headlights.

Usually just as powerful as a car’s headlights.

Usually not as powerful as a car’s headlights.

Usually larger than a car’s headlights.

Motorcycle headlights are generally smaller and less powerful than those of cars.
