Sit with their arms fully extended.

Use their arms to hold their body up.

Keep their knees away from the gas tank.

Keep their feet firmly on the footrests.

When riding, sit so that you can use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you hold the handgrips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.

8. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Increase your speed.

Exit the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Ride in the center of the lane.

The center of a lane can be especially hazardous when wet. When it begins to rain, avoid the center of the road by riding in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track is often the best option.

Increase your speed.

Decrease your following distance.

Use the vehicle in front of you to help see.

Ride while using your headlight.

Swerve within your lane to draw attention to your motorcycle.

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.

12. When riding, the best protection for an operator is:

A cushion of space between their vehicle and other vehicles.

A good leather jacket.

Sturdy boots.

A good understanding of motorcycle laws.

Your first and best protection against collisions with other vehicles is simply to keep your distance from them. The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you. Wearing proper gear is also important when riding a motorcycle.
