1. Which formation is best for a group of riders entering a curve?

Pyramid

Staggered

Single-file

Compressed

A staggered formation is generally the best way for a group to maintain close ranks while also allowing each rider to maintain an adequate cushion of space. A single-file formation is preferable when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

2. After drinking, what lessens the effects of alcohol?

Exercise

Coffee

Time

Food

The liver burns alcohol at a set rate, and there is nothing you can do to speed along the process. The only way to lessen the effects of alcohol is to give your body the time needed to remove it.

3. A motorcyclist is well-protected if they are wearing:

A jacket that allows the arms to be exposed.

Boots with tall heels.

Leather gloves.

Shoes that stop below their ankle.

For your protection while riding, it is best to wear a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely. Boots or shoes should be tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Footwear should have low heels that will not catch on the foot pegs or rough road surfaces. Gloves made of leather or another durable material will help protect your hands in the event of a crash while providing you with an improved grip on the controls.

4. If braking in a curve:

Only use the front brake.

It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.

You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.

You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

5. To reduce your speed before turning, you should:

Shift into neutral.

Pull in the clutch and use both brakes.

Apply the rear brake only.

Close the throttle and apply both brakes.

Before you enter a turn, you should reduce your speed by closing the throttle and, if necessary, applying both brakes.
