1. Where is the greatest potential for conflict between you and other vehicles?

At intersections

On any road

The greatest potential for conflict between motorcycles and other traffic is at intersections. Oncoming cars turning left in front of motorcyclists is the biggest danger.

2. How many alcoholic drinks need to be consumed before the drinker's riding ability is affected?

One

Two

Three

As little as one alcoholic drink can have a significant effect on your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. It is never a safe choice to ride after consuming any amount of alcohol.

3. When being passed by another vehicle, you should travel in:

The left portion of the lane.

The center portion of the lane.

The right portion of the lane.

When being passed, the center portion of the lane is generally the safest lane position for a motorcyclist. Riding on the side nearest the passing vehicle increases the risk of colliding with it. Riding on the side farthest from the passing vehicle can also be dangerous because it may prompt the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so.

4. If you must stop quickly, you should:

Use the front brake only.

Use the front brake first.

Use the front brake at the same time as the rear brake.

The best way to stop quickly is to apply controlled pressure to both the rear and front brakes at the same time. Be careful not to lock the brakes in the process.

5. After riding over an object on the road, you should:

Continue riding because the danger has passed.

Pull to the side of the road and check your tires and rims for damage.

Stop to remove the object from the road.

After riding over an object on the roadway, you should pull off the road to check your tires and rims for damage before traveling any farther. Ensure that nothing is caught in the drive chain or belt before proceeding.

6. Since most crashes happen in daylight, you:

Do not need to wear brightly-colored clothing during the day.

Should wear brightly-colored clothing during the day.

Should wear dark clothing during the day.

Most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight. To make yourself more noticeable, wear brightly-colored clothing when riding, even during the daytime.

7. Of the following, which is not a reason to keep a cushion of space between your motorcycle and the vehicle in front of you?

It allows you more time to respond to hazards.

It prevents you from finding an escape route.

It provides space to maneuver your motorcycle.

Maintaining an adequate space cushion ensures that you will have time to respond if another driver makes a mistake. A cushion of space also allows you the space you need to safely maneuver your motorcycle.
