1. A good way to handle a tailgater is to:

Speed up.

2. 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

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.

Drink coffee.

Limit your riding per day.

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.

4. The best way to stop quickly is to:

Use the front brake only.

Use the rear brake before the front brake.

Use both brakes.

Always use the front and rear brakes the same time when making a quick stop.
