1. Footrests:

May be shared by the driver and passenger

Are required for the driver and passenger

Are not required

Keep your feet firmly on the footrests for balance. The motorcycle should be equipped with passenger footrests. Firm footing prevents your passenger from falling off and pulling you off, too.

Right lane ends

Left lane ends

Traffic control device ahead

Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions. This sign warns that the right lane ends ahead.

3. When riding on a slippery surface, you should:

Avoid making sudden moves, as doing so could cause a skid.

Travel on the shoulder to be out of the way of traffic.

Use only the rear brake because the front brake is ineffective on slippery surfaces.

On a slippery surface, any sudden change in speed or direction could result in a skid. Be as smooth as possible when you speed up, shift gears, turn, or brake on such a surface.

4. When riding on a slippery surface, you should:

Not make sudden movements, if possible.

Handle your motorcycle roughly.

Use only your front brake.

On a slippery surface, any sudden change in speed or direction could cause a skid. Accelerate, shift gears, turn, and brake as smoothly as you can when riding on a slippery surface.

5. If you are riding behind another vehicle at night, you can determine if there are bumps on the road ahead by:

Listening for the other vehicle scraping against the pavement.

Noticing the other vehicle’s taillights bouncing up and down.

Looking at the rear bumper of the vehicle ahead and trying to determine if it is bouncing.

To determine upcoming road conditions when riding at night, use the vehicle ahead of you. For example, the headlights of the vehicle may provide a better view of the road than your own high beam. If the vehicle's taillights bounce up and down, this indicates the presence of bumps on the road.

6. Mirrors on motorcycles:

Have blind spots, just like cars.

Do not have blind spots.

Are not required.

The mirrors of motorcycles have blind spots, just like those of cars. Always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

7. When braking on a motorcycle:

The rear brake should be applied first.

The front brake should be applied first.

The front and rear brakes should be applied at the same time.

Use both brakes every time you slow down or stop. If you use only the rear brake when stopping normally, you may not develop the habit or the skill to use the front brake properly when you really need to stop quickly.
