7. A difference between googles and a windshield is:

Goggles will protect you from the wind, but a windshield won’t.

A windshield will protect you from the wind, but goggles won't.

A windshield will keep your eyes from watering better than goggles.

Googles will protect your eyes from the wind, but most windshields will not. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for goggles or a face shield.

8. If traffic is present, where should you generally position your motorcycle when entering a curve?

The outside of the curve

The inside of the curve

The center of the curve

If no traffic is present, it is recommended that riders take a curve by beginning on the outside of the curve, moving to the inside of the curve, and exiting on the outside of the curve. If traffic is present, it is a good idea to start the curve in the center of the lane and remain in the center throughout the curve. Riders should remain aware of changing road and traffic conditions and adjust as necessary.

9. To reduce the chances of a collision, you should:

Wear bright or reflective clothing.

Change lanes frequently.

Focus only on your riding, not on your surroundings.

Wearing bright or reflective clothing can help make you more visible to other drivers and reduce your risk of being involved in a collision. Always maintain an awareness of surrounding drivers to better prepare yourself for their movements.

10. When motorcyclists ride in a group:

Inexperienced riders should lead the group.

Inexperienced riders should be near the front of the group.

Inexperienced riders should be in the back of the group.

When traveling in a group, less experienced riders should be placed near the front of the group behind the leader. This way, more experienced riders can lead the way and watch the inexperienced riders at the same time.

11. Eye protection:

Is not necessary if your motorcycle is equipped with a windshield.

Is only necessary when riding in bad weather.

Should allow the rider a clear view to either side.

Proper face/eye protection is required by law in the state of California. A face shield can protect your whole face in the event of a collision. An effective eye or face shield must allow the rider a clear view to either side.

12. The proper action to take when riding an unfamiliar motorcycle for the first time is to:

Just start riding. There is no better way to learn than by doing.

Just start riding. Most bikes are similar, so you don’t have to take the time to identify safety features.

Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes before riding to learn the bike's gear pattern.

Every bike is a little different, so don't start riding an unfamiliar motorcycle without first familiarizing yourself with how it operates. Do a safety and maintenance check; find out where everything is located; and work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times to learn its gear pattern.
