7. If you must stop quickly in a curve, you should:

Straighten up, square the handlebars, and stop.

Abruptly apply both brakes while leaning.

Apply only the rear brake.

Apply only the front brake.

If you must stop quickly while in a curve, you should first straighten and square the handlebars, then stop. If straightening your motorcycle is not possible, you should apply the brakes smoothly and gradually, reduce your lean angle, then increase the brake pressure as you slow down.

8. Most motorcycles:

Have only a front brake.

Have only a rear brake.

Have brakes in both the front and rear.

Have three brakes: one in the front, one in the rear, and an emergency brake.

Motorcycles generally have two brakes, one for the front wheel and one for the rear wheel.

9. The best source of information for your motorcycle is:

The owner’s manual.

A general book about motorcycles.

Someone who has a different type of motorcycle.

A television show about motorcycle riding.

To be sure you are familiar with the specific type of motorcycle that you are planning to ride, read the owner's manual before riding it for the first time. This is particularly important if you are riding a borrowed motorcycle.

10. When riding behind a car, you should:

Ride in a position that will allow the other driver to see you in their rearview mirror.

Assume the driver sees you.

Ride in the far left portion of the lane.

Ride in the far right portion of the lane.

When riding behind a car, you should position yourself so you can be seen in the other driver's rearview mirror. Riding in the center portion of the lane will generally ensure that you will appear in the middle of their rearview mirror, where the driver is most likely to notice you.

11. How can you regain control if your rear tire locks up?

Release the rear brake.

Continue using the rear brake.

Swerve the bike in the direction with the fewest hazards.

With the brake engaged, try to accelerate.

To regain control of a locked rear wheel, the brake must be released. However, if you accidentally lock the rear brake on a good traction surface, you can keep it locked until you have completely stopped.

12. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.
