22. Where is the rear brake pedal usually located?

On the left handgrip

On the right handgrip

Near the left footrest

Near the right footrest

The rear brake of a motorcycle is usually controlled by a pedal near the right footrest.

23. When you ride a motorcycle, you should:

Turn your head and shoulders to look through turns.

Keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Turn just your head and eyes to look through turns.

When turning, look through the turn to where you want to go by turning only your head. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance while turning. Your arms should be slightly bent any time you are holding the handgrips.

24. To provide the best protection to the wearer, boots or shoes should:

Be made of a soft material.

Have long laces that are not tucked in.

Cover the ankle and provide support.

Have tall heels.

For riding, choose boots or heavy shoes that are tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Heels should be low so that they won't catch on rough surfaces. Tuck in long laces so that they don't catch on the motorcycle's moving parts.

25. Use a turn signal:

When you’re planning to increase your speed.

Only when there is a lot of traffic.

Any time you plan on changing lanes.

Only if it is dark outside.

You should use a turn signal every time you plan to turn or change lanes, even if you think no one else is around to see it.

26. When stopped behind another vehicle, you should:

Get as close as possible to the vehicle.

Maintain a space cushion between your motorcycle and the other vehicle.

Not use your rearview mirrors to monitor traffic behind you.

Look for opportunities to squeeze through the stopped traffic.

You should stay well behind the vehicle in front of you, even when you are both stopped. This will give you room to escape if the vehicle backs up unexpectedly or if another vehicle approaches too quickly from behind.

27. When you are riding on a bridge grating, you should:

Always ride on the far right side of the lane.

Always ride on the far left side of the lane.

Slowly zigzag across the grating.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Crossing rain grooves or bridge gratings may cause your motorcycle to move in a weaving motion. This is usually not dangerous, so simply relax and proceed across the surface at a steady speed. Trying to ride at an angle to compensate for the weave is dangerous because it forces you to zigzag to stay in your lane.

28. If a tire goes flat while you are riding and you must stop, it is usually best to:

Relax on the handle grips.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

If one of your tires goes flat, hold both handle grips firmly, ease off of the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you must brake, gradually apply the brake of the tire that is not flat (if you are certain of which tire that is). As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

29. Riding between two vehicles moving in the same direction:

Is illegal.

Is encouraged if traffic is heavy.

Is encouraged during the day to prevent traffic jams.

Is acceptable if the motorcyclist is comfortable with the move.

In Oregon, it is illegal for motorcycles and mopeds to pass between two moving vehicles on a multilane highway or one-way street.

30. When riding at night, you should do all of the following, except:

Use your high beam.

Use the headlights of vehicles ahead to help you see.

Be visible.

Ride only in the left portion of your lane.

When riding at night, use your high beam (unless you are following or meeting another car), take advantage of the headlights of other vehicles, and wear reflective materials to increase your visibility. You should always be flexible about your lane position, selecting whichever position will help you to see, be seen, and have an adequate space cushion.
