Before you start the test, please answer the question below regarding your insurance status.

Without insurance you will not be able to drive in Virginia

1. A benefit of keeping a cushion of space between you and surrounding vehicles is that:

You are better able to draft off of other vehicles.

You will be able to stop quickly.

You will have more time to react to the movements of other drivers.

It is important to maintain a cushion of space around your motorcycle at all times. This way, if a hazard arises, you will have more time to respond to the hazard and more space to safely maneuver.

2. If you must brake and swerve to avoid danger, you should:

Use only the front brake while swerving.

Brake and swerve at the same time.

Either brake then swerve or swerve then brake.

If a hazard requires you to brake and swerve, you should take these actions separately. Never brake while swerving because doing so can cause your motorcycle to fall over.

3. The human body removes alcohol at a rate of:

About one drink per hour.

About two drinks per hour.

About three drinks per hour.

On average, a person's body can remove the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. This rate can vary based on the individual. The safest option is to not ride after consuming any amount of alcohol.

4. Before every ride, you should:

Make sure your bike's brake lights work properly.

Make sure the paint on the bike is not peeling.

Make sure your bike is completely clean.

Perform safety checks before every motorcycle ride. Test your brake controls individually to make sure each one activates the brake lights.

5. When traveling at night, it is:

Easier to judge distances than it is during the day.

About as easy to judge distances as it is during the day.

More difficult to judge distances than it is during the day.

It is almost always more difficult to judge distances when traveling in the dark than it is when traveling in daylight. Shadows and light contrasts are important cues to the distance of an object. When you must rely on artificial lighting to see the roadway at night, natural contrasts and shadows may be distorted or entirely absent.
