7. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

8. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

9. If your motorcycle has convex mirrors and you are not familiar with this type of mirror, you should practice using the mirrors because:

Most people aren’t used to using mirrors.

Unlike flat mirrors, they make items look farther away than they really are.

Unlike flat mirrors, they make items look closer than they really are.

It can be difficult to remember to look at mirrors while riding.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. Take the time to get used to your mirrors if your motorcycle is equipped with convex mirrors.

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

In the front of the group.

Just behind the leader.

Close to the back of the group.

At the tail end of the group.

In a group of motorcyclists, less experienced riders should be positioned toward the front, just behind the leader. This ensures that they will not have to chase after the rest of the group. This positioning also allows them to be watched from behind by more experienced riders.

11. When riding at night you should:

Increase your speed.

Decrease your following distance.

Use the vehicle in front of you to help see.

Wear tinted glasses.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. You should always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night.

12. When being passed from behind, you should:

Try to move onto the shoulder.

Use the left portion of your lane.

Use the center portion of your lane.

Use the right portion of your lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.
