1. When choosing a jacket for protection, you should ensure that it:

Fits loosely and flaps in the wind.

Fits snugly enough that it does not flap in the wind.

Is it not made of leather or another sturdy material.

When riding, you should choose pants and a jacket made of leather or another sturdy material. They should fit you snugly enough that they do not flap in the wind, but also loosely enough that they let you move freely.

2. Under ideal conditions, it is recommended that riders maintain a minimum following distance of:

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Under normal conditions, it is recommended that riders maintain a following distance of at least two seconds. Riders should increase their following distance any time conditions are less than ideal.

3. When you are being passed, you should:

Ride in the left portion of the lane.

Ride in the center portion of the lane.

Ride in the right portion of the lane.

When being passed, it is generally safest to ride in the center portion of your lane. Riding on the side nearest the passing driver increases the danger of colliding with them, and riding on the side farthest from the driver may tempt them to return to your lane too soon.

4. To be effective, eye or face shield protection must:

Fasten securely.

Restrict your vision to the sides so you can focus on the road ahead.

Not allow eyeglasses or sunglasses to be worn.

To be effective, an eye or face shield must be free of scratches; be resistant to penetration; allow clear views to both sides; fasten securely; permit air to pass through to prevent fogging; and allow room for eyeglasses or sunglasses, if needed.

5. If wearing a jacket for protection while riding in hot weather, you should:

Take frequent breaks to cool off.

Remove the jacket to stay cool while in the sun.

Keep the jacket on to protect you from the heat.

A sturdy riding jacket provides essential protection in the event of a crash, no matter the weather. Jackets also provide an additional benefit in hot weather by protecting the rider against dehydration. Many motorcycling jackets are designed to prevent the wearer from overheating.

6. To execute a turn safely, a motorcycle rider should always:

Lean in the direction of the curve.

Slow down in the turn.

Turn by using only the handle bars.

When turning, you should always lean in the direction of the turn. Slow down before entering the turn.

7. To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should:

Not use turn signals.

Use proper lane positions.

Follow other vehicles closely.

To lessen the chances of a crash occurring, you should make yourself visible, communicate your intentions to others, maintain adequate space cushions, search your path of travel at least 12 seconds ahead, identify and separate hazards, and be prepared to react to changing conditions.
