1. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.

2. A pre-ride inspection should be done:

Before every ride.

Once a week.

Once a month.

Once a season.

To prevent any dangerous situations caused by technical issues, you should perform a thorough inspection of your motorcycle before every ride. Compared to a car, small technical problems can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle.

3. Your primary source for information about your motorcycle should be:

The owner’s manual.

A book about motorcycles.

A former owner.

Someone knowledgeable about motorcycles.

Your owner's manual should be your primary source for information about your specific motorcycle. Your manual will include information about the motorcycle's specifications, operation, and suggested maintenance.

4. When being followed too closely by another vehicle, you should:

Speed up.

Move onto the shoulder.

Allow the other driver to pass you.

Exit the roadway.

The best way to deal with a tailgater is to get them ahead of you. If you can do so safely, change lanes and let them pass. Speeding up may only increase the danger by encouraging them to continue tailgating you at a higher speed.

5. Drivers on an entrance ramp may not see you on the highway. What should you do to help an entering driver merge safely?

Stay in your lane, as it is not your responsibility to be seen.

Change to a lane away from the entrance ramp, if possible.

Move to the shoulder.

Weave within your lane to be more obvious to the entering driver.

To reduce the risk of a collision, always allow merging vehicles plenty of space to safely enter traffic. Change lanes away from the entrance ramp if there is room to do so safely. If there isn't another lane available, adjust your speed to open up space for the merging driver.
