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. If you are not traveling slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, what could happen?

Your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid.

The horn may go off.

Your motorcycle may lurch and the front tire may skid.

Your motorcycle may lurch and a warning light will go on.

If you are not riding slowly enough when shifting into a lower gear, your motorcycle may lurch and the rear tire may skid, causing you to lose control of your motorcycle. Be sure that you are moving slowly enough before shifting into a lower gear.

2. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is discouraged because:

You may have a difficult time getting to a highway exit.

You may be in the other vehicle’s blind spot.

You may block the driver's view.

It prevents other drivers from passing both of you.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. The driver may enter your lane without warning if they can't see you. The vehicle will also block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

3. The only way to rid your body of alcohol is through:

Time.

Drinking coffee.

Exercising.

Taking a cold shower.

The only way to remove the alcoholic content of a drink from your body is to allow your body time to eliminate it. There are no shortcuts to sobering up.

4. Increase your following distance:

If the roadway is slippery.

If there are only a few vehicles on the roadway.

If the sun is shining.

If drivers are following the speed limit.

An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up your following distance.

5. Use your mirrors when stopped at an intersection:

To see if vehicles parked on the sides of the street are entering traffic.

To look for vehicles changing lanes.

To watch for vehicles behind you that may not be slowing down.

To see if someone is planning to turn behind you.

When you are stopped at an intersection, use your mirrors to check for cars approaching you from behind. The drivers may not notice you until they are too close and you may need to react.

6. The single most effective thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving an accident is:

Wear a helmet.

Read books on motorcycle safety.

Ask others about how to ride more safely.

Watch training videos.

The single most important measure you can take to reduce your risk of injury or death in the event of an accident is to wear a helmet.

7. When braking, you should:

Always use both brakes.

Only use the front brake.

Only use the rear brake on slippery surfaces, such as wet pavement.

Only use the rear brake.

Use both brakes every time you slow or stop, regardless of the condition of the road.

8. When turning left, you should:

Press the right handgrip.

Press the left handgrip.

Press both handgrips at the same time.

Not press either handgrip.

A motorcycle must lean to make a turn. To make it lean in the appropriate direction, press the handgrip in the direction you want to turn.

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

Do one, then the other.

Do both at the same time.

Always apply the brakes first, then swerve.

Try instead to use only the brakes.

If you must brake and swerve to avoid a hazard, you should perform both actions separately. Brake then swerve, or swerve then brake. Do not do both at the same time.

10. The best lane position:

Is always the right portion of the lane.

Is always the center portion of the lane.

Is always the left portion of the lane.

Varies based on road, weather, and traffic conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. You should vary your lane position in response to changes in riding conditions.

12. Reflective clothing should:

Be worn only at night.

Be worn only during the day.

Not be worn.

Be worn day and night.

Brightly-colored and/or reflective clothing will increase your chances of being seen under any conditions. Remember that most motorcycle crashes happen in broad daylight so it is still best to wear bright clothing during the day.

13. If you are transporting a passenger, they should:

Lean as you lean.

Sit as far back as possible.

Never hold onto you.

14. Intersections are usually:

Safe since there is so much traffic there.

A dangerous spot for riders.

Difficult to figure out.

Safer than the open road.

Intersections can be dangerous because they present the greatest degree of potential conflict between motorcyclists and other drivers.

15. If either tire goes flat while riding, you should:

Roll on the throttle.

Hold the handle grips loosely.

Gently apply the brake of the non-flat tire.

Increase your speed to exit the road more quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat while you are riding, you should ease off the throttle and maintain a straight course as you slow down. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat, if you are certain of which tire that is.
