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 flat front tire is especially hazardous because:
It affects how you steer.
The front tire provides the power for the bike, so you will lose acceleration.
The flat tire will shake the bike, making it hard to use the mirrors.
You won’t be able to use the brake.

A flat front tire is especially dangerous because it affects your ability to steer. If your front tire goes flat while you are riding, safely exit the road as quickly as possible.

2. A pre-ride inspection should be done:
Before every ride.
Once a week.
Once a month.
Once a season.

To prevent any dangerous situations caused by technical issues, you should perform a thorough inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. Compared to a car, small technical problems can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. To carry a passenger, you may need to adjust all of the following, except:
Tire pressure.
Mirror positions.
Headlight position.
Brake light position.

A motorcycle carrying a passenger will sit differently than usual due to the additional weight. You may need to adjust the tire pressure, suspension, shocks, headlight, and mirrors to compensate for the shift.

6. 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.

7. Riding at night is usually:
Easier than riding during the day because you can more easily see the lights of other vehicles.
More difficult than riding during the day because it is harder to see.
Not allowed on highways.
Less distracting than riding during the day.

Riding safely at night is challenging because it is harder to see and be seen than it is during the day. The absence of normal shadows and light contrasts makes it harder to judge distances.

8. Where should a load be placed?
As low as possible
As high as possible
Behind the rear axle
On one side of the motorcycle

Loads should kept low, either fastened securely or in saddlebags. Piling loads against a sissy bar or frame on the back of a seat is dangerous because it can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and change the balance of the motorcycle. Loads should be equally distributed on both sides of the motorcycle.

9. To reduce your reaction time, you should:
Ride more slowly than the speed limit.
Shift into neutral when slowing.
Cover the clutch and the brakes.

Ride with extreme caution when approaching an intersection. Cover the clutch and both brakes to reduce your reaction time, if needed.

10. 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.

11. If a driver is following you too closely, you should:
Flash your brake light before you slow to warn the other driver.
Accelerate.
Pull over to the side of the road.
Slow down.

If someone is following you too closely, it is a good idea to flash your brake light before slowing down. A tailgater may be concentrating on you and not see upcoming hazards that require traffic to slow down.

12. Where is the throttle usually located?
Near the left footrest
Near the right footrest
On the left handle grip
On the right handle grip

The throttle of a motorcycle is usually located on the right handle grip. Be sure to know where all of your motorcycle's controls are located before riding.

13. Generally, the body eliminates how many alcoholic drinks per hour?
One
Two
Three
Four

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. The amount of time required to lower a person's blood alcohol content (BAC) can vary, so it is safest not to operate any motor vehicle after consuming any amount of alcohol.

14. When riding a motorcycle and trying to turn, you should:
Press the grip in the direction you want to turn.
Press the grip opposite of the direction you want to turn.
Not hold the grip because it can be dangerous.
Not lean the motorcycle as that can be unsafe.

When traveling faster than a walking pace, your motorcycle will need to lean to turn. Pressing the grip in the direction you want to turn will cause you to lean in the appropriate direction

15. Riding between two vehicles moving in the same direction:
Is illegal.
Is encouraged if traffic is heavy.
Is encouraged during the day to prevent traffic jams.
Is acceptable if the motorcyclist is comfortable with the move.

In Oregon, it is illegal for motorcycles and mopeds to pass between two moving vehicles on a multilane highway or one-way street.

16. When approaching an object or uneven surface that you cannot avoid, you should:
Make sure the motorcycle is leaning to one side.
Speed up.
Swerve quickly.
Rise slightly off the seat to allow your legs to absorb the shock.

If you cannot avoid riding over an obstacle or uneven surface, you should approach it at as close to a 90-degree angle as possible. Slow down as much as you can, make sure that your motorcycle is upright, and rise slightly off your seat so your knees can absorb some of the force of impact. Just before contact, roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end.

17. When riding, you should:
Always scan the road ahead and anticipate potential risks.
Focus on the controls, including the speedometer, rather than the road.
Not be concerned with hazards, because hazards are minimal on the roadway.
Always look ahead, but try not to look for hazards.

When riding, always look well ahead of your vehicle to help you anticipate potential hazards. Doing this will help you react to hazards before meeting them.

18. Usually, a good way to handle a tailgater is to:
Move onto the shoulder to get out of their way.
Speed up and put distance between you and the tailgater.
Ignore them.
Change lanes and let them pass.

Usually, the best way to handle a tailgater is to get them in front of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to follow you at a faster speed.

19. If a driver is tailgating you, you should:
Speed up.
Allow them to pass.
Prevent them from passing.
Move to one side of your lane to allow them to share the lane.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to keep tailgating you at a higher speed.

20. The center portion of a lane:
Is always the best part of the lane for a motorcycle.
Often contains oil and grease, but is usually safe for riding.
Often contains oil and grease, and is never safe for riding.
Is the smoothest part of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this area still generally offers enough traction for motorcyclists to safely ride. You should still avoid riding on big buildups of oil and grease, often found at busy intersections or near toll booths.

21. If in a no passing zone:
A motorcycle may still pass another vehicle.
A motorcycle is not allowed to pass another vehicle.
A motorcycle may pass another vehicle if the pass can be completed before another vehicle approaches.
A motorcycle may pass on the shoulder.

Passing is prohibited in no passing zones. It is also prohibited to pass by riding off of the main-traveled portion of a roadway.

22. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should position themselves:
Just behind the leader.
In the front of the group.
At the tail end of the group.
Beside the lead rider.

Inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader. This ensures that they won't have to chase after the group, and it allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from behind.

23. Your lane position should:
Keep your intentions hidden from other drivers.
Encourage other drivers to share your lane.
Increase your ability to see and be seen.
Be close to the road signs.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

24. An experienced rider:
Changes positions within their lane as conditions change.
Stays in one portion of a lane at all times.
Weaves within the lane to be more visible.
Travels only on the oily portion of the lane.

Unlike drivers of larger vehicles, a motorcyclist has three lane position options in their travel lane. The rider should select whichever position is safest based on road and traffic conditions.

25. What is the primary psychoactive component in marijuana?
THC
TMJ
MRT
AAP

The main psychoactive substance in marijuana is called tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
