1. What is the best lane position for a motorcycle operator?

The left position in the lane

The center position in the lane

The right position in the lane

There is no single lane position that is best for all situations.

There is no lane position that is always best and no lane position that should always be avoided. Select a lane position that is appropriate for your current riding conditions, allowing you to maintain an adequate space cushion and be visible to others.

2. A proper lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to see and be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Help you avoid traffic signals.

Communicate your intentions to other road users.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

3. Where is the front brake lever usually located?

On the left handgrip

On the right handgrip

By the left foot peg

By the right foot peg

The front brake lever is generally located on the right handgrip. Make sure that you are aware of the locations of all your motorcycle's controls before beginning to ride.

4. Reflective material on your helmet:

Helps you to be seen.

Is not allowed.

Should only be used at night.

Does not help you to be seen.

Reflective material on a vest or on the sides of your helmet can make you more visible to other drivers and should be used both day and night.

5. Most motorcycles have rounded, or convex, mirrors. These mirrors:

Are easy to get used to right away.

Make cars seem closer than they actually are.

Provide a narrow view of the road.

Make cars seem farther away than they actually are.

In comparison to flat mirrors, convex mirrors provide a wider view of the road behind you. They also make objects seem farther away than they actually are. You should practice judging distances in convex mirrors if you are not used to them.

6. Riding on the far side of a lane when following another vehicle:

Is recommended because you will be seen easily.

Is not recommended because drivers seldom use their side mirrors and may not see you.

Is recommended because a passenger in the vehicle may tell the driver that you are there.

Is illegal because you have to ride in the center portion of the lane.

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 best to ride in the center portion of the lane where you are most likely to be visible in the driver's rearview mirror.
