1. A three-wheeled motorcycle:

Handles curves about the same as a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Handles curves differently than a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Should not be operated in curves.

Should use the shoulder when taking a curve.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

2. Any person with a minimum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of ______ is considered legally intoxicated.

0.02 percent

0.04 percent

0.06 percent

0.08 percent

In Rhode Island, a person of any age with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher is considered legally intoxicated. It is both illegal and dangerous to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

3. If operating a three-wheeled motorcycle or riding with a sidecar, do not ride too far to the right of your lane because:

Other drivers may not see you.

You will not be able to pass other vehicles as easily.

Other drivers may try to share your lane.

You may run off the road.

Because a sidecar sits on the right side of a motorcycle, riding too far to the right side of your lane risks the sidecar running off the road. Similarly, on a three-wheeled motorcycle, the rear right wheel may leave the road if you get too close to the right edge.

4. To effectively provide protection for a motorcycle rider, pants should:

Be made of a soft material.

Be made of a heavy material.

Fit loosely enough that they flap in the wind.

Be short and expose some parts of the legs.

For your protection, you should wear pants that cover your entire legs and are made of leather or another sturdy synthetic material. Clothing should fit snugly enough that it does not flap in the wind but not so snugly that it restricts your movement.

5. At a minimum, how often should a motorcycle's hydraulic fluid be checked?

Once a day

Once a week

Once a year

Before every ride

Pre-ride motorcycle inspections are an important part of ensuring safe riding. Hydraulic fluids and coolants should be checked at least once a week.

6. Taking a turn too fast:

Is acceptable as long as you stay under the speed limit.

Is safer on a motorcycle than in a car.

Is acceptable as long as no vehicles are near you.

Can cause you to end up in another lane or leave the road.

Taking a turn too fast is dangerous. If you cannot hold the turn, you may end up turning into another lane or even off of the road entirely. Use caution when taking a turn.
