3. When slowing or stopping, you should use both brakes:

Only if the pavement is wet.

Infrequently.

Only when riding in the city.

Every time.

You can achieve maximum stopping power by using both the front and rear brakes. You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

4. Which of the following is true?

The front and rear brakes provide equal braking power.

The front brake provides more braking power than the rear brake.

The rear brake provides more braking power than the front brake.

Only the front brake should be used when braking.

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear one, providing at least 70 percent of the total stopping power. Always use both brakes any time you slow or stop.

5. 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.

6. When riding at night, a motorcyclist should maintain a minimum following distance of:

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Five seconds.

Because it is more difficult to see and judge distances in the dark than in daylight, you should maintain an expanded following distance of at least three seconds when riding at night. It may take you longer than usual to realize the vehicle in front of you has stopped and you may need additional time to slow or stop to avoid hitting the vehicle.

7. The center portion of a lane:

Is always the best part of the lane for a motorcycle.

Often contains oil and grease, but is usually safe for riding.

Often contains oil and grease, and is never safe for riding.

Is the smoothest part of the lane.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this area still generally offers enough traction for motorcyclists to safely ride. You should still avoid riding on big buildups of oil and grease, often found at busy intersections or near toll booths.
