1. Low-speed crashes:

Can be fatal.

Are never serious.

Rarely cause injuries.

Happen frequently, so there is no need to worry about them.

Most motorcycle crashes occur at speeds lower than 30 miles per hour. Even low-speed crashes can be fatal.

2. When preparing to pass another vehicle on the left, you should:

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Get as close as possible to the vehicle in front of you.

Not signal your intentions, as that may distract the driver you are passing.

When passing another vehicle on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. Signal your intentions and check for traffic. Pass when it is safe to do so, then signal and return to your original lane when traffic allows.

3. If carrying a load in a sidecar, the motorcycle's stopping distance:

May be increased.

May be decreased.

Is not a concern.

Will be similar to the stopping distance of a two-wheeled motorcycle.

Because adding a load to a motorcycle increases its weight, the vehicle's inertia may increase, causing its stopping distance to increase. Begin slowing and stopping earlier when riding a motorcycle with a load or passenger in its sidecar.

4. Helmeted riders are ________ more likely to survive than those not wearing helmets at the time of a crash.

Two times

Three times

Eight times

Ten times

At any speed, wearing a helmet will make you three times more likely to survive head injuries in the event of a crash than you would if not wearing a helmet.

5. Most motorcycles:

Have only a front brake.

Have only a rear brake.

Have brakes in both the front and rear.

Have three brakes: one in the front, one in the rear, and an emergency brake.

Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

6. If drinking alcohol, you should:

Decide if you are still fit to ride based on how you feel after you finish drinking.

Set a limit beforehand so you can still safely ride.

Not ride.

Not be concerned about your riding abilities if you feel fine.

The surest way to avoid the risks of riding under the influence of alcohol is to not ride after you have been drinking. Any amount of alcohol can impair your abilities.
