1. When riding, you should:

Always scan the road ahead and anticipate potential risks.

Focus on the controls, including the speedometer, rather than the road.

Not be concerned with hazards, because hazards are minimal on the roadway.

Always look ahead, but try not to look for hazards.

When riding, always look well ahead of your vehicle to help you anticipate potential hazards. Doing this will help you react to hazards before meeting them.

2. When riding in a group, the best riding formation is generally:

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

A single-file line.

A pyramid formation.

A staggered formation is generally best when riding in a group. You should move into a single-file line when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or exiting a highway.

3. When it starts raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Increase your speed.

Avoid riding down the center of a lane under wet conditions. Instead, ride in the tire tracks left by the cars ahead of you. The left tire track will often be best, but this can vary depending on traffic and other conditions.

4. Crashes are more likely to occur among:

Experienced riders.

Beginning riders.

Those familiar with their motorcycle.

Those who have completed a safety course.

Crashes are the most likely to occur for untrained, beginning riders who are unfamiliar with their motorcycle.

5. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

Ride in a zigzag pattern so other drivers notice you.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.
