19. When braking, you should use:

Only the front brake.

Only the rear brake.

Both brakes.

Either brake, but never both at the same time.

Always simultaneously use both brakes to stop. The brakes are most effective when used at the same time.

20. You can increase your visibility by:

Adding auxiliary lights to your motorcycle.

Not using your turn signal.

Wearing dark clothing.

Waving at people.

To increase your visibility, you can wear clothing that is brightly-colored or that contains reflective materials. Adding auxiliary lights to your motorcycle, using your turn signals, and flashing your brake light when appropriate are also good ways to get the attention of other road users.

21. A rectangular sign may be a:

School crossing sign.

Railroad crossing sign.

Stop sign.

Speed limit sign.

Signs informing road users of road regulations, such as speed limits, are normally rectangular and colored white with black lettering or symbols. Riders must follow the rules posted on these regulatory signs.

22. If you wait an hour per alcoholic drink before you ride your motorcycle:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and riding.

Your skills will not be affected.

Side effects may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

23. Impairment from alcohol:

Begins with the first drink.

Begins at about half of the legal limit.

Occurs at the legal limit.

Occurs only if you have had multiple drinks.

As little as one drink can have a significant effect on the abilities that you need for safe riding. You can be impaired even if you are well below the legal blood alcohol limit. No amount of alcohol is safe to consume before riding.

24. 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.

25. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Not wear a jacket if it's warm out.

Always wear a jacket, even if it’s warm out.

Wear shorts in warm weather.

Not be concerned about long shoelaces.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket made of appropriate material when riding. This is true even in warm weather because wearing a jacket is important to help prevent dehydration. You should also always wear long pants, and tuck in the laces of your footwear to prevent them from catching on the motorcycle.
