6. Which of the following is not important when looking for a motorcycle helmet?

The helmet meets U.S. Department of Transportation standards.

The helmet fits snugly all the way around your head.

The helmet has no obvious defects, such as cracks or loose padding.

The helmet looks cool.

To ensure that a helmet will provide you with as much protection as possible, check to see if it meets U.S. DOT and state standards; fits snugly all the way around your head; and has no obvious defects, such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

7. When checking tire pressure:

Eyeballing the tire is a good method.

Use a tire gauge.

It is best to squeeze the tire.

Compare the height of the tire to another tire.

You should use a tire gauge to check the tire pressure before every ride. An under-inflated tire may still look okay, so a visual check is not enough.

8. If you are riding and your motorcycle starts to handle differently, you should:

Continue riding normally.

Pull over and check the tires.

Pull over to check the chain.

Pull over to check the windshield.

A sudden change in handling may indicate that a tire on your motorcycle has failed. If you feel a change in the way your motorcycle handles, pull over safely and check your tires.

9. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:

Just behind the leader.

In front of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

Beside the leader.

In a group of motorcyclists, riders with less experience should be positioned toward the front of the group, just behind the leader. This will allow more experienced riders to keep an eye on them without forcing the inexperienced rider to lead the group.

10. The center portion of a lane:

Is always the best part of the lane for a motorcycle.

Often contains oil and grease, but is usually safe for riding.

Often contains oil and grease, and is never safe for riding.

Is the smoothest part of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this area still generally offers enough traction for motorcyclists to safely ride. You should still avoid riding on big buildups of oil and grease, often found at busy intersections or near toll booths.
