19. If a friend has had too much to drink and wants to ride their motorcycle, you should:

Let them.

Encourage them to take roads that are not crowded.

Not get involved.

Take their keys.

Never let someone ride if they have had too much to drink. Do whatever you can to prevent them from riding, including taking their keys, if necessary. Arrange an alternative way for them to get home.

20. When riding, goggles:

Protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face.

Protect your face, but not your eyes.

Are not as effective at protecting your eyes as eyeglasses.

Are not effective in providing any protection.

Goggles can provide protection for your eyes, but only a face shield can protect your entire face. Eyeglasses are not an adequate substitute for either goggles or a face shield.

21. An advantage to keeping the size of a group of riders small is:

A small group is less easily separated in traffic than a larger group.

A small group can disregard traffic laws to stay together.

Riders will always be trying to catch up to the group.

It will be difficult to keep track of where everyone is.

There are several advantages to keeping groups of riders small. In comparison to a large group, a small group is easier for other vehicles to pass safely, is less likely to get separated by traffic or stop lights, and creates less need for slower riders to hurry to catch up to the rest of the group.

22. When adjusting your rearview mirror, be sure you can:

See the lane behind you and the lane next to you.

See only the lane behind you.

See only the lane next to you.

See most of your helmet.

Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you. When properly adjusted, a mirror may show the edge of your arm or shoulder, but it’s the road behind you and to the side of you that is most important.

23. Motorcycles:

Do not have blind spots because of their small size.

Have blind spots, but they are so small they should not cause concern.

Have blind spots that should be routinely checked.

Are too small to have blind spots.

Motorcycles have blind spots, just like any other vehicle. Always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes. Head checks should be a regular part of your scanning routine.

24. When carrying a passenger on a motorcycle, you must:

Have a seat that is large enough for two riders.

Only have one set of footrests.

Not encourage the passenger to wear protective clothing.

Put a sticker on the brake light to warn other motorists that a passenger is on the motorcycle.

You should not carry a passenger unless your motorcycle has a seat that is large enough for two riders. The motorcycle should be equipped with footrests for the passenger. Your passenger should wear the same kind of protective gear that is recommended to operators.

25. Maintain an adequate following distance behind other vehicles:

To allow you time and space to identify and react to hazards.

So you can tailgate.

To allow for traffic counters to accurately count you as a vehicle.

To encourage other drivers to cut you off.

Maintaining an adequate following distance ensures that you will have enough space to stop or swerve out of the way if the vehicle ahead of you stops suddenly. A space cushion also provides you with a better view of any hazards on the road surface, such as potholes.
