8. Which brake is more powerful on a motorcycle?

The front brake

The rear brake

Both brakes are equally powerful.

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful that the rear brake and can provide at least 70 percent of the bike's total stopping power.

9. Use your mirrors when stopping at an intersection:

To determine if drivers behind you are aware that you are stopping.

To watch for pedestrians ahead.

To look for dark clouds that may indicate poor weather conditions.

It is important to consistently check vehicles approaching your motorcycle from behind to determine if drivers are paying attention to you and your movements. Use your mirrors when stopping at an intersection to make sure approaching drivers are responding appropriately to your actions.

10. When riding with a passenger on your motorcycle, you should instruct the passenger to:

Get on the motorcycle before the engine starts.

Sit as far back as possible on the bike.

Not talk or move unnecessarily.

Tell passengers to avoid unnecessary conversation or movement while on a moving motorcycle. Passengers should get onto a motorcycle only after the engine is started. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding the operator.

11. Under normal riding conditions, one of the best ways to help others see your motorcycle is:

To flash your lights.

To keep your high beam headlight turned on.

To ensure that your motorcycle is painted a dark color.

The best way to help others see your motorcycle is to have your headlight turned on (as well as your running lights, if applicable). Use your high beam headlight both day and night, whenever it is legal and safe to do so.

12. Long-term exposure to wind noise:

Is not a danger.

Can cause irreversible hearing damage.

Is just part of riding a motorcycle.

Long-term exposure to wind noise can cause permanent damage to your hearing. Using ear protection when you ride should protect you from the dangers of wind noise while still allowing you to hear important sounds, like sirens or car horns.

13. When riding a motorcycle, your feet should be:

On the footrests for balance.

Pointed with your toes aiming downward.

Relaxed.

When riding, your feet should be kept firmly on your motorcycle's footrests for balance. Your toes should not be pointed downward, as this may cause them to get caught between the road and the footrests.

14. You should conduct a safety inspection of your motorcycle:

Before every ride.

Every week.

Once a month.

You should always conduct a thorough safety inspection of your motorcycle before you ride. A small technical issue on a motorcycle can be more dangerous than a small technical issue on a car.
