1. If hazards are on your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of the lane.

In the right portion of the lane.

In any portion of the lane.

On the shoulder.

When hazards exist to your left, it is often best to ride in the right portion of the lane. Be prepared to adjust your lane position as road and traffic conditions change.

2. A potential danger of braking too hard is:

Losing traction on one or both wheels.

Coming to a complete stop before you expect to.

Popping a tire.

Taking too long to stop.

If you over-apply your brakes, you may lose traction on one or both wheels and crash.

3. Hearing protection is:

Not needed if you wear a helmet.

Needed in addition to a helmet.

Only needed on windy days.

Not needed if you are carrying a passenger.

Exposure to engine and wind noise can damage your hearing, even if you are wearing a helmet. Hearing protection can guard against this while still allowing you to hear essential sounds like horns and sirens.

4. When being passed, you should not move to the portion of the lane farthest from the passing driver because it:

Discourages the passing driver from cutting into your lane too early.

Encourages the passing driver to cut into your lane too early.

Encourages the passing driver to complete the pass as quickly as possible.

Encourages other drivers to pass you.

Moving into the portion of your lane farthest from a passing vehicle is potentially dangerous because it could encourage the driver to return to your lane before it is safe to do so. It is safest to stay in the center of a lane when being passed.

5. When changing lanes:

There is no need to do a head check if you use your mirrors.

Mirrors provide a full view of the road around your motorcycle.

You should turn your head and look over your shoulder.

You can assume drivers will properly respond to your turn signal.

Motorcycles have blind spots just like any other vehicle. Always turn your head and look over your shoulder to check for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes.

6. When riding in a vehicle's blind spot, you should:

Stay where you are to avoid surprising the driver.

Wave at the other driver to get their attention.

Slow down until you are out of the blind spot.

Pull over to the shoulder.

If you find yourself riding in a vehicle's blind spot, you should either speed up quickly or slow down and drop back to vacate the spot.
