Passing Score 19

1. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

2. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should be placed:

In the front of the group.

Just behind the lead rider.

At the back of the group.

Anywhere within the group.

Inexperienced riders should ride near the front of a group, just behind the leader, so more experienced riders can keep an eye on them from behind.

3. When passing parked cars, which part of the lane should you usually use?

The left portion of the lane

The center portion of the lane

The right portion of the lane

Either the left or right portion of the lane

When passing a row of parked cars, it is often safest to ride in the left portion of your lane. Riding in the left portion will keep you farthest from any opening car doors, people stepping out from between cars, and cars pulling out of parking spaces.

4. If operating a three-wheeled motorcycle or riding with a sidecar, do not ride too far to the right of your lane because:

Other drivers may not see you.

You will not be able to pass other vehicles as easily.

Other drivers may try to share your lane.

You may run off the road.

Because a sidecar sits on the right side of a motorcycle, riding too far to the right side of your lane risks the sidecar running off the road. Similarly, on a three-wheeled motorcycle, the rear right wheel may leave the road if you get too close to the right edge.

5. A helmeted rider is _______ more likely to survive a crash than a rider not wearing a helmet.

Two times

Three times

Six times

20 times

No matter the speed, riders who are not wearing helmets are three times more likely to die from head injuries than riders who are wearing helmets at the time of a crash.

6. The effects of marijuana consumption can last for:

No more than 15 minutes.

About an hour.

About two hours.

More than six hours.

When marijuana is smoked, it can begin to affect the smoker within minutes and effects can last for between two and four hours. When marijuana is eaten, it may take over an hour to begin to affect the consumer, but the effects of the marijuana may last for more than six hours.
