1. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is:

Safe because you are in a separate lane.

Recommended because it blocks the wind.

Not recommended because you may be in the driver's blind spot.

It is not advisable to ride beside passenger vehicles or trucks. Doing so may place you in another vehicle's blind spot and the driver could move into your lane without realizing you are there.

2. When selecting a jacket that will be used as protective apparel, a motorcycle rider should look for a jacket that is:

Black, or another dark color.

Warm.

Made of leather or synthetic materials.

When riding a motorcycle, it is highly recommended that you wear protective apparel. Look for a jacket that completely covers your arms and fits snugly but still allows you to move freely. Leather or sturdy synthetic materials with integrated body armor offer the best protection.

3. To improve your chances of being seen, you should:

Use your headlight only at night or when conditions reduce visibility.

Always use your headlight.

Add an orange tint to your headlight.

The single most effective thing you can do to help others see your motorcycle is ride with your headlight on at all times.

4. When riding with a group of motorcyclists, a staggered formation:

Is recommended at all times.

Should not be used when entering or exiting a highway.

Should be used when riding in curves.

While riding in a staggered formation is generally advisable, a group of motorcyclists should switch to a single-file formation when riding in curves, turning, and entering or leaving a highway.

5. When crossing angled railroad tracks, it is usually best to:

Use the shoulder of the road to slow down before crossing the tracks.

Walk your motorcycle across the tracks.

Continue straight within your lane to cross the tracks.

In most cases, it is safest to ride straight within your lane to cross angled railroad or trolley tracks. Changing the angle of your path to cross tracks may send you into another lane, causing a collision with oncoming traffic.
