1. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Stop your motorcycle until the animal loses interest.

Approach the animal slowly, then quickly accelerate away from the dog as it approaches.

Swerve around the animal.

If you see a dog approaching your motorcycle, slow down and downshift until you are close to the dog. Quickly accelerate away from the animal as it approaches.

2. If you approach an uncontrolled intersection at the same time as another vehicle:

The vehicle on the left should yield to the vehicle on the right.

You should flash your headlight to signal that the other vehicle should proceed.

You should continue through the intersection and expect the other vehicle to stop.

If you approach an intersection that is not marked with signs or traffic lights at the same time as another driver, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right.

3. The gearshift is located:

By the left footrest.

By the right footrest.

By the right handle grip.

The gearshift lever of a motorcycle is located in front of the left footrest and is operated by the rider's left foot.

4. When riding behind a car, traveling in the left third of the lane allows the driver to see you in their side mirror. What is a downside to this?

Most people don’t use their side mirrors as often as they use their rearview mirror.

The wind may prevent the use of a side mirror.

Side mirrors should not be used by motorists.

Most drivers do not look at their side mirrors as often as they look at their rearview mirror. Therefore, when following a car, it is generally most advantageous to ride in the center portion of the lane where you are most likely to be visible in the driver's rearview mirror.

5. When riding in a group, mirrors:

Should be checked frequently by all riders.

Should be used only by the lead rider.

Should not be checked frequently because they can be a distraction.

When riding in a group, use your mirrors to keep an eye on the riders behind you and to confirm that the group is staying together.

6. When may a motorized bicycle or moped be operated in a bicycle lane?

Never. Motorized bicycles may never be used in bicycle lanes.

Only when carrying a passenger.

Only when authorized by local ordinance or law enforcement.

Motorized bicycles and mopeds may be operated in bicycle lanes only if permitted by local ordinance or law enforcement.

7. When riding a motorcycle, your feet should be:

On the footrests for balance.

Pointed with your toes aiming downward.

Relaxed.

When riding, your feet should be kept firmly on your motorcycle's footrests for balance. Your toes should not be pointed downward, as this may cause them to get caught between the road and the footrests.

8. To make it easier to be seen by other motorists, you should:

Wear brightly-colored clothing while riding.

Wear darkly-colored clothing while riding.

Wave your arms while riding.

Wearing brightly-colored clothing while riding will make it easier for others on the road to see you. This is true regardless of the time of day.
