22. A properly-fitted motorcycle:

Allows the rider to touch the ground with their feet while seated.

Has a seat even with the rider's waist.

Has a seat that is 10 inches above the rider's waist.

Has a seat that is 10 inches below the rider's waist.

If your motorcycle fits you properly, your feet should be able to reach the ground while you are seated. When riding your motorcycle, keep your feet firmly on the footrests.

23. To lessen your chances of being involved in a crash, you should:

Be visible to other drivers.

Keep your intentions unknown from other drivers.

Always stay within a foot of another vehicle.

Ride on the shoulder.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

24. Motorcyclists riding in a group should avoid pairing up because:

A merging driver may not see both riders.

Reflections from both helmets may make it difficult for the riders to see.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

It is too difficult for riders on the left side of a pairing to exit a highway.

When traveling in a group, it is never recommended for motorcyclists to ride in pairs. Neither rider will have adequate room to maneuver to avoid hazards.

25. A simple way to make your motorcycle easier to see is to:

Ride with a large flag attached to its frame.

Ride with the headlight turned on.

Wave at other drivers.

Ride on the shoulder whenever possible.

You can make yourself easier to see by wearing brightly-colored, reflective clothing. Ride with your headlight on at all times and use your turn signals and brake light appropriately.

26. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Ride faster than usual.

Rider more slowly than usual.

Start slowing later than usual.

Try to squeeze into smaller gaps in traffic.

The added weight of a passenger will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to accelerate more slowly than usual, turn more slowly than usual, and require extra space to come to a complete stop. Ride more slowly, start slowing sooner when approaching a stop, open up a larger space cushion, and wait for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

27. If you wait an hour per alcoholic drink before you ride your motorcycle:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and riding.

Your skills will not be affected.

Side effects may still remain.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

28. One way to tell if your rear tire has gone flat while riding is if:

There is a hissing noise coming from the rear of the bike.

The back end is jerking from side to side.

You are unable to accelerate.

The rear brake does not work.

If your rear tire fails, the back of your motorcycle will likely jerk from side to side. It is rare for motorcyclists to actually hear a tire fail.
