8. When making a U-turn:

The front and rear brakes need to be used at the same time.

Do not use the front brake because it could cause the bike to tip over.

Use the front brake to increase stability of the motorcycle.

The front brake should not be used when making a U-turn because it could cause the bike to tip over. Instead, use the rear brake to control the speed of the bike in the U-turn.

9. The gearshift is located:

By the left footrest.

By the right footrest.

By the right handle grip.

The gearshift lever of a motorcycle is located in front of the left footrest and is operated by the rider's left foot.

10. A passenger should sit:

In front of the operator.

Sidesaddle.

Behind the operator.

Motorcycle passengers should always sit behind the operator and hold firmly and securely onto the operator's waist, hips, or midsection. They may instead choose to hold onto handgrips, provided that the motorcycle is equipped with them. Passengers should never ride sidesaddle.

11. Stopping in a turn can be difficult because:

There is decreased traction available for stopping while the bike is leaning.

The rider is usually focused on the turn and not on the braking.

The brake controls do not work in turns.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

12. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Wear half-fingered gloves.

Wear full-fingered gloves.

Not wear gloves.

Wearing gloves while riding provides an improved grip and help protect your hands. You should use gloves that are full-fingered and made of a durable material.

13. If you approach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as another vehicle:

The vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.

You should flash your headlight to signal that the other vehicle should proceed.

You should continue through the intersection and expect the other vehicle to stop.

If you approach an intersection that is not marked with signs or traffic lights at the same time as another driver, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

14. Before starting a turn, a motorcyclist should change gears to:

Prevent a change in power in the middle of the turn.

Be able to keep both hands on the handle grips during the turn.

Prevent the motorcycle from slowing down.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. Shifting gears while in the turn can cause a sudden change in power to the rear wheel, causing a skid. If you must change gears while in a turn, change gears smoothly to best prevent skidding.
