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 wearing footwear with laces, the laces:
Should be tucked in.
Should hang loose.
Should be taken off of the footwear.
Should be glued together.

When riding, you should securely tuck in the laces of your footwear so that they will not catch on your motorcycle.

2. If a tire goes flat and you must brake, you should:
Apply the brake of the tire that is not flat.
Apply the brake of the tire that is flat.
Apply both brakes.
Not use either brake.

If either of your tires go flat and you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is).

3. When carrying a passenger in a sidecar, you should:
Begin slowing sooner than usual.
Begin slowing later than usual.
Apply the brakes more firmly than usual to stop quickly.
Apply the brakes more softly than usual to keep from overworking them.

The added weight of a passenger in a sidecar will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to require extra space to come to a complete stop.

4. To reduce your reaction time, you should:
Shift into neutral when slowing.
Cover the clutch and the brakes.
Pull in the clutch when turning.
Ride under the speed limit.

In potential high-risk areas, such as near intersections, shopping areas, school zones, and construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes to reduce the time you will need to react to potential hazards.

5. When preparing to pass a vehicle on the left, it is important to ride on the left side of your lane because:
The right side could be slippery.
It will give you the best chance of spotting hazards in the next lane.
People don’t usually expect to be passed on their left.
It will place you in the rearview mirror of the car in front of you.

When preparing to pass on the left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. This lane position will increase your line of sight and make your more visible to oncoming traffic.

6. ____ can remove alcohol and its effects from your body.
Time
Coffee
Exercise
Fresh air

The only method that effectively reduces your BAC is not drinking alcohol for a period of time. Coffee, exercise, fresh air, and cold showers cannot reduce your BAC or change the effects of alcohol. They can help you remain awake, but they cannot change your BAC or make you sober.

7. Which of the following is not considered protective clothing for a motorcyclist?
A jacket
Boots
Gloves
A stocking cap

You should wear appropriate protective clothing when riding. Protective garments include sturdy pants and jackets that entirely cover your arms and legs, boots or heavy shoes that cover and support your ankles, and sturdy gloves.

8. Before changing lanes, you should:
Turn your head to check for vehicles in your blind spot.
Rely on your mirrors to show you all of your surroundings.
Point in the direction of the lane change.
Speed up to get ahead of other vehicles.

Motorcycles have blind spots, just like any other vehicle. You should always turn your head to check for traffic in your blind spot before changing lanes. Do not rely on your mirrors alone.

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. What does this signal mean?
/data/image/dmv_image/motorcycle/riding24.png
Follow me
Slow down
Speed up
Exit

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. This hand signal means "follow me."

11. Compared to riding during the day, a motorcycle operator who is riding at night should do all of the following, except:
Ride more slowly.
Allow more space between their motorcycle and other vehicles.
Use their high beam whenever possible.
Tailgate other vehicles.

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. You should always be flexible about your lane position, especially when riding at night.

12. 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.

13. Which of the following is not a benefit of riding in a close group?
It takes up minimal space on the highway.
The group is easy to see.
The group is unlikely to be split up.
The riders will get to their destination more quickly in a close group than a group that is spread out.

Riding in close ranks is recommended over riding in a group that is spread out because the group will take up less space on the road, be easier for others to see, and be less likely to get separated at traffic lights and during passes.

14. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:
Is not necessary if you have a windshield.
Only protects your eyes.
Protects more than just your eyes.
Does not protect your face as well as goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield helps protect your entire face, including your eyes. Goggles can protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either.

15. The best way to stop quickly is to:
Use the front brake only.
Use the rear brake first.
Throttle down and use the front brake.
Use both brakes simultaneously.

To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time. Apply the brakes firmly and do not panic if the brakes lock.

16. 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.

17. When approaching railroad tracks that cross your lane at an angle, it is usually:
Safest to ride straight within your lane to cross the tracks.
Dangerous to ride straight within your lane to cross the tracks.
Not safe to cross tracks on a motorcycle.
Safest to cross the tracks by riding on the shoulder of the road.

When approaching railroad tracks that cross your lane at an angle, it is best to simply cross the tracks while riding straight within your lane. Turning to cross the tracks at a 90-degree angle could be dangerous because you could end up crossing into another lane of traffic.

18. When riding in a group, the best way to keep ranks close while maintaining an adequate safety cushion is to ride:
In pairs.
In a staggered formation.
In a single-file line.
In a passing formation.

A staggered formation is the best way to keep ranks close while still maintaining an adequate space cushion for all riders. Ride in a single-file line when riding in curves, turning, or entering or leaving a highway. Never ride side-by-side with another rider.

19. If braking in a curve:
Only use the front brake.
It will be the same as braking on a straightaway.
You will have more traction as you lean into the curve.
You may have less traction as you lean into the curve.

It is possible to use both brakes while turning, but it must be done with great care. Some of the tires' usual traction is being used to make the turn while the motorcycle is leaning, so less traction is available for stopping.

20. When should the front brake be used?
Any time the rider is slowing or stopping
Only when slowing or stopping on slippery roads
Only when slowing or stopping in an emergency
Only when slowing or stopping in traffic

A rider should always use both brakes every time they slow or stop.

21. Each traffic lane gives the motorcyclist how many paths of travel?
One
Two
Three
Four

Each traffic lane provides three paths of travel for motorcyclists: the left, center, and right portions of the lane.

22. Which of the following surfaces provides the best traction for a motorcycle?
A gravel road
Dry pavement
Mud
Lane markings

A number of surfaces can provide poor traction for tires. Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be more hazardous for a motorcyclist than dry pavement.

23. For the best protection, jackets and pants:
Should cover your arms and legs completely.
Should be loose and flap in the wind while you are riding.
Should only partially cover your arms and legs.
Should be made of wool.

To provide adequate protection when riding, jackets and pants should cover your arms and legs completely. Your clothing should fit snugly but be loose enough to let you move freely. Leather or newer kinds of synthetic materials provide the best protection in the case of an accident.

24. Moving into another lane while taking a curve is often the result of:
Taking the turn too fast.
Lanes that are too narrow.
Not knowing how to steer.
Lanes that are too wide.

Trying to enter a curve or turn at a speed that is too fast for conditions may cause you to cross into another lane of traffic or leave the road entirely.

25. More than half of all crashes:
Occur at speeds greater than 35 mph.
Are caused by worn tires.
Happen in the dark.
Involve riders who have little experience on their motorcycles.

Most motorcycle crashes involve riders with little experience on their motorcycle.
