36. Which of the following is a poor reason to sound your horn?

A driver in the lane next to you is too close to the vehicle ahead of them.

A parked car has a person in the driver’s seat.

You want people to look at your motorcycle.

You are passing someone who is in the street.

It is a good idea to sound your horn before riding past a vehicle or pedestrian that may move into your lane. If you see a driver in an adjacent lane driving too closely to the vehicle ahead of them, you may assume that they want to pass and may cut in front of you to do so. If you see a person in the driver's seat of a parked car, or if you see a pedestrian or bicyclist in the street, it is a good idea to sound your horn as you pass.

37. A helmet will not provide the best possible protection:

If it is certified by the DOT.

If it fits snugly.

If it is free of defects.

If it has cracks.

A helmet should meet U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards and fit snugly all the way around to provide maximum protection. It should be free of defects such as cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

38. Common drugs, such as cold tablets:

Can affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Usually won’t affect a rider's abilities to safely operate their motorcycle.

Pose no risk to a rider's operating abilities.

Are always acceptable to take before riding because they are sold over-the-counter.

Almost all drugs, including over-the-counter medications, have the potential to impact the abilities you need to ride safely. Make sure you understand the side effects of any drug before combining it with riding.

39. Impairment from drinking alcohol occurs:

Well below the legal limit.

Once reaching the legal limit.

Just above the legal limit.

Well above the legal limit.

It is never safe to operate a motorcycle after consuming any amount of alcohol. Impairment of the skills needed to safely ride begins well below the legal limit.

40. Once a motorcycle helmet has been involved in a crash, it should be:

Inspected closely.

Replaced.

Sold to another rider.

Outfitted with a new chinstrap.

Replace any helmet that has been worn during a crash.

41. If a person refuses to submit to a breath test when pulled over by an officer:

Nothing will happen.

The officer must let the rider go.

Their license will be suspended.

The officer's notes are inadmissible in a court of law.

Maine has an Implied Consent Law. This means that by traveling on the state's roads, you have given your consent to have your breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) tested if requested by an officer. If you refuse to be tested, your license will be immediately suspended for up to six years.

42. Hearing protection is:

Not recommended if you have a full-face helmet.

Not recommended when riding with passengers.

Always recommended.

Not a concern for those with good hearing.

Even if you wear a helmet, exposure to wind and engine noise can damage your hearing. Wearing earplugs or other hearing protection can guard against damage while still allowing you to hear important sounds, such as car horns or emergency sirens.
