8. When riding a motorcycle, your lane position:

Is very important because it may affect whether or not other drivers can see you.

Cannot protect you from wind blasts from other vehicles.

An appropriate lane position can increase your ability to see and be seen. Being properly positioned in a lane can also help you avoid blasts of wind coming off of surrounding vehicles.

9. Noise created by wind:

Is easy to get used to.

May cause irreversible hearing damage.

Is never a danger.

Long-term exposure to wind noise can permanently damage your hearing. Using proper ear plugs or other hearing protection when riding is recommended.

10. Which of the following types of footwear is best for a motorcycle operator?

Sturdy boots

Tennis shoes

Shoes with loose laces

Sandals

Sturdy boots or shoes that are high enough to support the ankles can provide the best protection for motorcyclists. Laced up boots are best, but high-top boots or heavy shoes are fine. If a motorcyclist wears shoes that have long laces, they should be sure to securely tuck the laces away before riding.

11. Service signs are:

Orange with black letters.

Blue with white letters.

Green with white letters.

Signs that are blue with white markings indicate the locations of services. These services may include rest areas, gas stations, food options, and hospitals.

Should only be worn when riding at night.

Can help motorcycle riders be more visible.

Wearing brightly-colored or reflective clothing can increase your chances of being seen by other road users.

13. Whichever style of helmet you choose, you will get the most protection by ensuring that your helmet:

Fits snugly.

Is clean.

Looks cool.

You will get the maximum protection from your helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects.

14. To minimize the potential for fatigue on a long trip, you should:

Drink coffee.

Limit your riding per day.

Play loud music.

When taking a long trip, be sure to schedule in frequent breaks to rest, even if you do not feel tired. Experienced operators seldom try to ride for longer than six hours a day. Wind, cold, and rain can make you tire quickly, so be sure to dress to protect yourself from the elements.
