Not enough to pass :-(

Ouch! While you were on a roll there for a few questions, you didn’t pass this time. But I know this test, and I think you’ll pass next time. Really.

1. A motorcycle with a sidecar:

Cannot tip over.

Can tip over if making a turn too fast.

Is designed to take corners at any speed.

Should not be used for loading items.

Even with three wheels on the ground, a sidecar can tip over if it is being turned too sharply or is moving too fast for a corner.

2. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

3. When riding a motorcycle, a jacket should be worn:

No matter the weather conditions.

Only on cool days.

Only on warm days.

Only if the ride will be longer than half an hour.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket when riding, even in warm weather when you may not think you need a jacket. It can help protect you against the sun and dehydration in hot weather.

4. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Always ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Pull the clutch when turning.

In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

5. In New Hampshire, a person who is age 21 or older with a minimum blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of ______ is considered legally intoxicated.

0.02 percent

0.04 percent

0.06 percent

0.08 percent

A person who is of legal drinking age with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher is considered legally intoxicated. It is both illegal and unsafe to ride a motorcycle while under the influence of alcohol.

6. One way to tell if your rear tire has gone flat while riding is if:

There is a hissing noise coming from the rear of the bike.

The back end is jerking from side to side.

You are unable to accelerate.

The rear brake does not work.

If your rear tire fails, the back of your motorcycle will likely jerk from side to side. It is rare for motorcyclists to actually hear a tire fail.

7. If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are riding over rain grooves or bridge gratings, you should:

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Tighten your hold on the handle grips and increase your speed to get past the hazard.

Travel in a zigzag motion.

Ride on the shoulder instead of on the grooves.

The weaving motion that occurs when a motorcycle rides over rain grooves or bridge gratings is generally not dangerous. If you experience weaving when riding over one of these surfaces, simply relax and proceed straight across the grooves or gratings at a steady speed. Trying to compensate for the weaving motion by zigzagging is more dangerous than riding straight.

8. A larger cushion of space may not be necessary if:

The pavement is slippery.

You cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you.

Weather and traffic conditions are perfect.

Traffic is heavy.

Your following distance should be larger than usual when you are traveling under imperfect conditions. Increase your following distance if pavement is slippery, you can't see through the vehicle in front of you, or traffic is heavy.

9. When riding at night, you should do all of the following, except:

Reduce your speed.

Increase your following distance.

Decrease your following distance.

Use your high beam light, if possible.

To reduce the risk of a collision when riding at night, be sure to reduce your speed and increase your following distance. Use the headlights of vehicles ahead of you to see farther down the road. Use your high beam headlight, except when following or meeting another vehicle.

10. When riding, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look through turns.

Always look through a turn to where you want to go. Turn only your head to look, not your shoulders, and keep your eyes level with the horizon.

11. When braking, you should:

First apply the front brake, then the rear.

First apply the rear brake, then the front.

Use both brakes at the same time.

Use brakes in any order.

Both brakes should be used at the same time whenever you slow or stop.

12. What should a motorcyclist do to prevent possible injury when riding on a slippery surface?

Increase their speed.

Reduce their speed.

Make sudden moves.

Ride on the shoulder.

When riding on a slippery surface, it is safest to decrease your speed. Making sudden moves on a slippery surface could cause your motorcycle to skid. Do not travel on the shoulder to escape a slippery road.

13. If only one alcoholic drink is consumed:

Judgment and riding abilities can still be affected.

There is usually no effect on the body.

There is an effect on the body, but it only lasts for a short time.

There is an effect on the body, but it can be eliminated by drinking coffee.

As little as one alcoholic drink can significantly affect the skills that are needed for safe riding. The only way to remove the alcohol content of a drink from your body is to allow your body time to eliminate it.

14. Most motorcycle crashes happen:

On short trips.

On long trips.

After at least an hour of riding.

After more than 8 hours of riding.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips shorter than five miles, just a few minutes after the rider starts out.

15. A helmet should not:

Meet U.S. DOT standards.

Fit snugly.

Be without obvious defects.

Have been previously worn in an accident.

You will get the greatest amount of protection from a helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects. A helmet worn at the time of a crash should be replaced.

16. When should your rearview mirror be adjusted?

After starting the motorcycle

Before starting the motorcycle

During the ride

At a traffic signal

You should clean and adjust both mirrors before starting your motorcycle. Adjust your mirrors so you can see the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you.
