7. Studies show that when motorcycles have their headlights turned on during the day:

They are not as easy to see as other vehicles.

They are more visible to other drivers than when their headlights are turned off.

Other drivers are often confused.

They are less safe than when their headlights are turned off.

The best way to help other drivers see your motorcycle is to keep your headlight on whenever you ride. During the day, a motorcycle with its headlight on is twice as likely to be noticed.

8. Your lane position should:

Avoid other road users' blind spots.

Provide a good view of the shoulder.

Provide a poor view of road hazards.

Invite others to share your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should help you to see others and be seen by them. Avoid riding in another driver's blind spot for a long period of time.

9. Your lane position should help you:

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

Keep others from passing you.

Travel to your destination as quickly as possible.

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.

12. When carrying a passenger in a sidecar, you should:

Begin slowing sooner than usual.

Begin slowing later than usual.

Apply the brakes more firmly than usual to stop quickly.

The added weight of a passenger in a sidecar will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to require extra space to come to a complete stop.
