8. If you must transport a load, it should be:

Carried over the rear axle.

Carried on the gas tank in front of you.

Piled up against a sissy bar or frame on the back of the seat.

Loads should be kept over, or in front of, the rear axle. Only experienced riders should carry loads on their motorcycle.

9. Increase your following distance if:

It is raining.

There is light traffic.

It is sunny.

You should increase your following distance if it will take your motorcycle longer than normal to stop, if you can't see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and other vehicles are likely to try to squeeze in front of you.

10. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull onto the shoulder and wait for it to stop raining.

Ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles.

Roads become slippery when it first starts raining, especially in the center strip of a lane. When rain starts, it is generally safest to ride in the tire tracks left by other vehicles. The left tire track is often best.

11. Passengers should:

Hold onto the rider's hips, waist, or belt.

Never hold onto the rider.

Not lean into any turn.

Before beginning your ride, tell your passenger to maintain a firm grasp on your hips, waist, or belt. If there are secure handholds for your passenger, they may also hold those.

12. 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.

13. Hearing protection is:

Not recommended.

Recommended only for long rides.

Recommended for all rides.

Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise can damage your hearing, even if you wear a helmet. It is a good idea to use hearing protection every time you ride to help prevent hearing damage.

14. When sitting on a motorcycle, your arms should:

Have a large bend at the elbow when reaching for the handle grips.

Be slightly bent when holding the handle grips.

Be fully extended when reaching for the handle grips.

Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips of a motorcycle. Bending your arms reduces arm fatigue and permits you to press on the handlebars without having to stretch.
