29. A child passenger:

Should be placed in front of the operator.

Should be placed behind the operator.

Does not have to be able to reach the footrests.

Should hold onto the motorcycle frame.

A child passenger on a motorcycle should always ride immediately behind the operator. A child sitting in front may be unable to balance properly and could interfere with the operator's use of the controls.

30. Unlike most food and drinks, alcohol does not need to be digested. This means that:

Within minutes of being consumed, the alcohol reaches the brain and begins to affect the drinker.

The alcohol never gets removed from the body.

It takes a long time to feel the effects of alcohol.

Once it is in your system, your body gets rid of the alcohol quickly.

Because it does not have to be digested, alcohol enters a person's bloodstream quickly and reaches the brain within minutes. It gets eliminated from the body at a relatively slow rate: about one drink per hour.

31. When riding downhill or shifting into first gear, you may need to:

Use your brakes to slow down before downshifting safely.

Before shifting into a lower gear, make sure you are riding slowly enough to shift safely. Downshifting while going too fast may cause the motorcycle to lurch and the rear wheel to skid. When riding downhill or shifting into first gear, you may need to use the brakes to slow to a safe speed before downshifting.

32. If you are using an unfamiliar motorcycle, what should you do before riding?

Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

33. To lean a motorcycle when making a turn, you should:

Always press on the left handgrip.

Always press on the right handgrip.

Press on the handgrip in the direction opposite of the turn.

Press on the handgrip in the direction of the turn.

34. When riding a motorcycle, a jacket should be worn:

No matter the weather conditions.

Only on cool days.

Only on warm days.

Only if the ride will be longer than half an hour.

For your protection, you should always wear a long-sleeved jacket when riding, even in warm weather when you may not think you need a jacket. It can help protect you against the sun and dehydration in hot weather.

35. When riding with a heavy load, you will want to adjust the:

Brakes.

Seat.

Suspension.

Brake light.

Before riding with a heavy load, you should make sure your tire pressure, spring pre-load, air shocks, and dampers are at the settings recommended for the relevant weight.
