1. Riding directly alongside another vehicle is discouraged because:

You may have a difficult time getting to a highway exit.

You may be in the other vehicle’s blind spot.

You may block the driver's view.

It prevents other drivers from passing both of you.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because you could be riding in the vehicle's blind spot. The driver may enter your lane without warning if they can't see you. The vehicle will also block your route of escape if a hazard arises.

2. When riding a motorcycle, a jacket should be worn:

No matter the weather conditions.

Only on cool days.

Only on warm days.

Only if the ride will be longer than half an hour.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket when riding, even in warm weather when you may not think you need a jacket. It can help protect you against the sun and dehydration in hot weather.

3. A group of riders should pass another vehicle:

In a staggered formation.

In a pyramid formation.

One at a time.

In a splintered formation.

On a two-lane highway, a group of riders should pass another vehicle one at a time. The second rider should not begin to pass until the first rider has safely re-entered the original lane. Riders should continue in this pattern until they have all safely passed the vehicle.

4. If you think stopping your motorcycle will take longer than usual, you should:

Lengthen your following distance.

Shorten your following distance.

Leave the road.

Speed up.

Lengthen your following distance when traveling on a slippery surface. If it will take longer than usual for your motorcycle to stop, open up to a longer following distance.

5. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

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 continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

6. When riding with a heavy load, you will want to adjust the:

Brakes.

Seat.

Suspension.

Brake light.

Before riding with a heavy load, you should make sure your tire pressure, spring pre-load, air shocks, and dampers are at the settings recommended for the relevant weight.
