1. When entering a turn, you should:

Slow down.

Speed up.

Come to a complete stop.

Reduce your speed before entering a turn. If you take a turn too fast, you may end up veering out of your lane or even off the road.

2. Under normal riding conditions, one of the best ways to help others see your motorcycle is:

To flash your lights.

To keep your high beam headlight turned on.

To ensure that your motorcycle is painted a dark color.

The best way to help others see your motorcycle is to have your headlight turned on (as well as your running lights, if applicable). Use your high beam headlight both day and night, whenever it is legal and safe to do so.

3. If you will be carrying a passenger on your motorcycle, you will likely have to:

Reduce the tire pressure.

Make no tire pressure adjustments.

Increase the tire pressure.

Because a passenger will place additional weight on your motorcycle, you will probably need to add a few pounds of pressure to your tires before riding. Check your owner's manual for details regarding the appropriate pressure settings to use.

4. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Often balance out.

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

5. A motorcyclist may not place a toll road transponder:

On the windshield of their motorcycle.

In their pocket.

Under their seat.

There are five locations where it is permissible to place a transponder or other electronic toll payment device, provided that toll readers can detect it. A transponder may be placed in a motorcyclist's pocket, inside a cycle net draped across the gas tank of the motorcycle, on a license plate device, in a storage compartment on the motorcycle, or on the windshield of the motorcycle.

6. The best footwear for motorcyclists are:

Sneakers.

Sturdy boots.

Sandals.

Leather boots provide the greatest degree of foot protection when riding. Boots should be high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles.

7. If traveling with a load, the load should be:

Secured as low as possible.

Secured as high as possible.

Attached to a sissy bar.

If not carried in saddlebags, loads should be secured as low as possible. Attaching a load to a sissy bar can raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and upset its balance.

8. How should you brake?

With the front brake only

With the rear brake only

With both brakes

Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
