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.
Always simultaneously use both brakes to stop. The brakes are most effective when used at the same time.
To be adequately protected while riding, you should wear a jacket and pants that completely cover your arms and legs.
Make a point of checking traffic in your mirrors before you slow down. Drivers behind you may not expect you to slow down or may not notice that you are slowing down.
If a hazard requires you to brake and swerve to avoid a collision, you should take the actions separately. Do not brake while swerving because doing so may cause your motorcycle to fall over.
After the lead rider in a group passes a car on the left, they should move into the left portion of their original lane and maintain passing speed to open up space in front of the car for the next rider in the group. Moving into the right portion of the lane is not a safe option because doing so may encourage the next rider to pass before there is room to do so safely.
When riding on slippery surfaces, you should use both brakes to slow down. Squeeze the brake lever gradually to avoid locking the front wheel and use gentle pressure on the rear brake.
Longterm exposure to wind and engine noise can cause permanent hearing damage, even if the rider is wearing a full-face helmet. Wearing ear plugs or other hearing protection can guard against damage while still allowing the wearer to hear important sounds like horns and sirens.
The liver burns alcohol at a set rate, and there is nothing you can do to speed along the process. The only way to lessen the effects of alcohol is to give your body the time needed to remove it.
Always use both brakes every time that you slow or stop.
Avoid riding directly alongside another vehicle, since this may place you in the vehicle's blind spot. If the driver can't see you, they may enter your lane without warning. Riding alongside a vehicle is also dangerous because the vehicle will block your route of escape if a hazard arises.
If your front tire goes flat, steering will feel heavy. A front wheel flat is very dangerous because it affects your ability to steer.
On a straightaway, you can stop in the shortest distance by using both brakes. Try to avoid locking either brake.
Shifting your motorcycle into a lower gear causes an effect similar to applying the brakes. This is known as engine braking.
Most wobbles are caused by improper loading of the motorcycle, unsuitable accessories, or incorrect tire pressure.
You should use a turn signal every time you plan to turn or change lanes, even if you think no one else is around to see it.
Most motorcycles have a manual transmission. Downshifting to a lower gear will slow you down.
When riding, sit so you are able use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.
During normal turns, the motorcycle and the rider should be leaning together at the same angle. In slow, tight turns, only the motorcycle should lean while the rider keeps their body straight up.
A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield provides protection for your entire face in the event of a crash. Goggles will protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield or eyeglasses are not a substitute for either goggles or a face shield.
To reduce the risk of fatigue on a long trip, dress to protect yourself from tiring elements, such as wind, cold, and rain. Limit yourself to no more than six hours of riding per day and take rest brakes at least every two hours. Avoid using artificial stimulants, as these only result in extreme fatigue when they wear off.
