Never required.

In Rhode Island, motorcycle operators who are under the age of 21, or who have held their license for less than a year, must wear a helmet while riding. Helmets are recommended to all riders.

20. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handle grips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat, hold both handle grips firmly, ease off of the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is). As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

21. The front brake:

Should only be used when you need to stop quickly.

Should be used only under slippery conditions.

Is not as effective as the rear brake.

Is safe to use, if used properly.

Always use both brakes any time you slow or stop. It is safe to use the front brake, which is more powerful than the rear brake, as long as you use it properly.

22. If you are feeling tired while riding, you should:

Keep going and hope to wake up.

Ride faster.

Ride on the shoulder.

Get off the road and rest.

You should avoid riding if you are tired. When making a long trip, take rest breaks at least every two hours to reduce the risk of becoming fatigued.

23. If your motorcycle is being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick the dog away.

Ride alongside the dog.

Stop until the dog loses interest.

The left side of the lane.
