1. When braking where traction is reduced, you should:

Apply the brakes more quickly than usual.

Apply the brakes more gently than usual.

Not use the rear brake.

Not use the front brake.

When slowing or stopping on a surface with reduced traction, you should use caution and apply the brakes more gently than usual.

2. Generally, the body eliminates one alcoholic drink per hour. If a person consumed eight alcoholic drinks four hours ago, how many drinks likely remain in their body?

One drink

Two drinks

Three drinks

Four drinks

The minimum number of drinks left in a person's system can be estimated by subtracting the number of hours since the last drink from the total number of drinks consumed. In this case, the alcohol content of about four drinks would remain.

3. How can you regain control if your rear tire locks up?

Release the rear brake.

Continue using the rear brake.

Swerve the bike in the direction with the fewest hazards.

With the brake engaged, try to accelerate.

To regain control of a locked rear wheel, the brake must be released. However, if you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped.

4. When riding a motorcycle, you should:

Not wear a jacket if it's warm out.

Always wear a jacket, even if it’s warm out.

Wear shorts in warm weather.

Not be concerned about long shoelaces.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket made of appropriate material when riding. This is true even in warm weather because wearing a jacket is important to help prevent dehydration. You should also always wear long pants, and tuck in the laces of your footwear to prevent them from catching on the motorcycle.
