A leather jacket

Full-fingered gloves

Long pants made of denim

Athletic shoes

In the event of a fall, a motorcyclist can receive protection from a leather jacket, long pants made of heavy denim, and full-fingered gloves. It is best for a motorcyclist to wear lace-up boots, high-top boots, or heavy shoes that support their ankles.

23. Locking your brakes can:

Be helpful in most situations.

Improve steering.

Cause control problems.

Locking the brakes can cause control problems. If your front brake locks, you should release the brake then immediately re-apply it. If you lock your rear brake when stopping on a good traction surface, keep it locked until you have completely stopped.

24. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Ride on the right side of the lane.

Ride on the edge of the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pavement is often especially slippery when it first begins to rain. The rainwater mixes with the oily deposits left by cars that have not yet washed off the road. When riding in rain, the best option is to ride in the tire tracks left by cars ahead of you.

25. If a motorcycle rider takes a turn too fast, they may:

Have increased control of their motorcycle.

Experience a more stable ride.

Unintentionally leave the road.

Taking a turn or curve too fast may cause a rider to lose control of their motorcycle. The motorcycle may cross into another lane of traffic or careen off the road.

Right lane ends

Left lane ends

Traffic control device ahead

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that the right lane ends ahead.

28. Which of the following is not a factor in determining a person's blood alcohol content (BAC)?

The amount of alcohol consumed

How quickly the alcohol is consumed

How often the person consumes alcohol

The main factors that determine a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) are the person's body weight, how much alcohol is consumed, and how quickly the alcohol was consumed. It is always safest to not ride after consuming alcohol in any amount.

29. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Often balance out.

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

30. To safely cross railroad tracks that are angled across your lane, you should:

Ride straight within your lane.

Turn your motorcycle to take them at a 90-degree angle.

Speed up.

It is usually best to simply proceed across angled railroad tracks by riding straight within your lane. Crossing by turning your motorcycle may be dangerous, as doing so could send you into another lane.
