1. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Helps protect your whole face.

Does not protect your face as effectively as goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield protects your entire face in a crash. Goggles protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for a face shield or goggles.

2. When braking, you should use:

The front brake only.

The rear brake only.

Both front and rear brakes.

Either the front or rear brake, but not both.

You should always use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

3. Which of the following surfaces does not provide poor traction?

Wet pavement

Dry pavement

Lane markings

Snow

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; and painted lane markings can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

4. When riding a motorcycle and trying to turn, you should:

Press the grip in the direction you want to turn.

Press the grip opposite of the direction you want to turn.

Not hold the grip because it can be dangerous.

Not lean the motorcycle as that can be unsafe.

When traveling faster than a walking pace, your motorcycle will need to lean to turn. Pressing the grip in the direction you want to turn will cause you to lean in the appropriate direction

5. If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should:

Either brake then swerve or swerve then brake.

Brake and swerve at the same time.

Choose to either brake or swerve.

Not swerve and only use the front brake to stop.

If a hazard requires you to brake and swerve to avoid a collision, you should take the actions separately. Do not brake while swerving because doing so may cause your motorcycle to fall over.
