7. A person with a minimum blood alcohol content (BAC) of ______ is considered legally intoxicated.

0.02 percent

0.04 percent

0.06 percent

0.08 percent

A person above the legal drinking age of 21 who is riding a motorcycle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher is considered to be riding while legally intoxicated. It is both illegal and dangerous to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

8. Your lane position should:

Protect your lane from other drivers.

Allow you a nice view of scenery.

Place you in other drivers’ blind spots.

Hide your intentions from other drivers.

A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.

9. When riding a three-wheeled motorcycle through a curve, it is best to:

Stay in the center of the lane.

Stay on the outside of the lane.

Change your path as needed.

Use the shoulder.

The cornering characteristics of a three-wheeled motorcycle or a motorcycle with a sidecar differ from those of a two-wheeled motorcycle. The best path for a three-wheeler to take through a curve may not actually follow the curve. For example, you may need to move from the outside of the curve to the inside of the curve before straightening out your path.

10. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Increase your speed.

Exit the road.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Ride in the center of the lane.

The center of a lane can be especially hazardous when wet. When it begins to rain, avoid the center of the road by riding in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track is often the best option.

11. If you are riding in the right side of your lane while following a car:

You are likely riding in the best position to be seen.

You may not be seen unless the driver uses their side mirror.

The driver will most likely assume you are there.

You are discouraging other drivers from sharing your lane.

When riding behind a passenger vehicle, it is usually best to ride in the center of the lane so you will be visible in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than their side mirrors, so this lane position will increase your chances of being seen.

12. To adjust for added weight when riding with a passenger, you should:

Operate at a slower speed than usual.

Maintain a shorter following distance that you would if riding without a passenger.

Operate at a faster speed than usual.

Brake a little later than you would if riding without a passenger.

The extra weight of a passenger means that your motorcycle will need more time than usual to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the added weight, you should reduce your speed; start slowing earlier than normal; increase your following distance; and seek out larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging with traffic.
