43. A helmet should not:

Meet U.S. DOT standards.

Fit snugly.

Be without obvious defects.

Have been previously worn in an accident.

You will get the greatest amount of protection from a helmet if it meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards, fits snugly all the way around, and has no obvious defects. A helmet worn at the time of a crash should be replaced.

44. When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride:

In the front of the group.

Right behind the leader.

At the back of the group.

Wherever they are most comfortable.

When riding in a group, inexperienced riders should ride just behind the leader near the front of the group. This allows more experienced riders to keep an eye on them from the back of the group.

45. An experienced rider:

Changes positions within their lane as conditions change.

Stays in one portion of a lane at all times.

Weaves within the lane to be more visible.

Travels only on the oily portion of the lane.

Unlike drivers of larger vehicles, a motorcyclist has three lane position options in their travel lane. The rider should select whichever position is safest based on road and traffic conditions.

46. When entering a highway or curve, motorcyclists riding in a group should:

Ride single-file.

Ride in a staggered formation.

Ride in pairs.

Ride in the far right portion of the lane.

While a staggered group formation is usually best, it is better to switch to a single-file formation when turning, taking curves, or entering or exiting a highway.

47. The middle portion of the lane usually contains an oily strip. You should:

Try to avoid the oily strip when it is raining.

Ride only on the oily strip, as it provides increased traction.

Avoid the entire center portion of the lane.

Not worry about oil or other items in a lane.

Oily drippings from cars and trucks build up in the center of each lane. Unless the road is wet, this strip usually still provides enough traction more a motorcycle to operate safely. The strip is generally narrow enough that you can ride to either side of it and still be in the center portion of the lane.

48. Motorcycle windshields:

Are a good substitute for a face shield.

Are a good substitute for goggles.

Will not protect your eyes from the wind.

Do not protect against items thrown from other vehicles.

A windshield is not an adequate substitute for either a face shield or goggles. Most windshields will not protect your eyes from the wind.

49. When planning a long group ride, which of the following ideas should not be implemented?

The lengths of travel segments should be based on the least experienced rider.

Breaks should be minimized so the riders can get to their destination as soon as possible.

Inexperienced riders should be placed behind the leaders.

The group should maintain a staggered riding formation.

When riding in a group, the length of a route and the lengths of segments of travel should be based on the skill level of the least experienced rider. Groups of riders should take regular breaks to reduce fatigue. Inexperienced riders should be placed behind the leader so more experienced riders can keep an eye on them from behind. It is generally best to ride in a staggered formation.

50. Usually, a minimum following distance of _____ should be maintained.

One second

Two seconds

Three seconds

Four seconds

Generally, you should maintain a minimum following distance of two seconds. Increase your following distance to at least three seconds whenever you are riding under conditions that are less than ideal.
