1. What should you do if you must ride on a slippery surface?

Slow down

Accelerate

Make sudden moves

On a slippery surface, you should reduce your speed, avoid making sudden moves, and brake by using both brakes.

2. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Stop your motorcycle until the animal loses interest.

Approach the animal slowly, then quickly accelerate away from the dog as it approaches.

Swerve around the animal.

If you see a dog approaching your motorcycle, slow down and downshift until you are close to the dog. Quickly accelerate away from the animal as it approaches.

3. You should maintain an increased following distance:

If the pavement is slippery.

If traffic is light.

If you can see through the vehicles in front of you to determine traffic conditions.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a minimum four-second following distance.

4. It can be difficult to ride right after it starts raining because:

Some other drivers may not react quickly enough to the rain.

Pavement will be especially slippery.

Other drivers do not drive fast enough in wet weather.

Pavement can be particularly slippery after it has just started to rain. Oil from vehicles will have not yet washed away from the surface of the road, forming a slippery mixture with the water.

5. You have an improved chance of avoiding serious injury in a crash if you wear:

Face or eye protection.

A baseball cap.

Sneakers.

Wearing a helmet is your best defense against injury while riding a motorcycle. Wearing a plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your face from injury in a crash.
