13. A motorcycle needs:

Less frequent attention than a car.

More frequent attention than a car.

To have pre-ride checks performed only by a mechanic.

To be serviced only at a dealer.

Because a small technical fault can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car, motorcycles need to be checked more frequently. Complete a thorough check before every ride.

14. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

15. Before mounting your motorcycle, perform all of the following checks, except:

Making sure the headlight works.

Checking the oil level.

Trying both brake controls to ensure the brake light activates.

Ensuring that the paint is not scratched.

Before riding, you should check the pressure and condition of your tires; check the oil and fluid levels; and make sure that the low beam headlight, high beam headlight, taillight, signal lights, and brake light all work properly.

16. Just like cars, motorcycles have blind spots. When switching lanes, you should:

Turn your head and check your blind spot.

Look only at your mirrors.

Rely on your peripheral vision.

Slow down so any vehicle in your blind spot can pass you.

Blind spots, by definition, are areas that you cannot see by just looking in your mirrors. Turn your head to the side and check over your shoulder for vehicles in your blind spot before you change lanes.

17. A motorcycle operator can improve their visibility by:

Wearing darkly-colored clothing.

Turning off their headlight.

Following another vehicle very closely.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing.

To maximize your chances of being seen by other road users, you should wear brightly-colored clothing with reflective materials, use your headlight at all times, and use your signals and brake light properly.

18. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.
