1. When securing a load, you should place the load:

As high as possible.

As low as possible.

On a sissy bar.

Only on one side of the motorcycle.

Secured loads should be low. Putting them too high up, such as on a sissy bar, can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and upset its balance. Loads should be as evenly distributed as possible on each side of the motorcycle to avoid pulling the bike to one side.

2. When braking, you should use:

Only the front brake.

Only the rear brake.

Both brakes.

Either brake, but never both at the same time.

Always simultaneously use both brakes to stop. The brakes are most effective when used at the same time.

3. Use a turn signal:

When you’re planning to increase your speed.

Only when there is a lot of traffic.

Any time you plan on changing lanes.

Only if it is dark outside.

You should use a turn signal every time you plan to turn or change lanes, even if you think no one else is around to see it.

4. In a normal turn:

The motorcycle and rider should lean together.

The motorcycle and rider should lean in opposite directions.

The motorcycle should lean, but the rider should not.

The rider should lean, but the motorcycle should not.

During normal turns, the motorcycle and the rider should be leaning together at the same angle. In slow, tight turns, only the motorcycle should lean while the rider keeps their body straight up.

5. When riding at night, how should your following distance compare to your following distance during the day?

You should allow a longer following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should allow a shorter following distance when following another vehicle at night.

You should always maintain the same following distance regardless of the time of day.

Following distance really doesn’t matter.

Distances are difficult to judge in the dark because visual cues (like shadows and light contrasts) can be missing or distorted. You should allow a longer following distance when riding at night than you do when riding during the day.
