6. For routine braking:

You should only use the front brake.

You should only use the rear brake.

You should alternate between the front and rear brakes to maximize the life of the brakes.

You should always use both the front and rear brakes at the same time.

Always use both brakes every time that you slow or stop.

7. Which of the following is not a way to prevent a friend from driving while intoxicated?

Arrange a safe ride home for them.

Get them involved in activities to slow their drinking and keep them busy while they sober up.

Make them wait 15 minutes after their last drink before driving.

Get other friends involved in stopping your friend from driving.

To prevent someone from drinking and driving, it is a good idea to arrange an alternative way for them to get home, involve them in other activities to slow the pace of their drinking, use any available excuse to keep them from leaving, and recruit friends to help apply peer pressure.

8. When consumed together, the effects of alcohol and drugs:

Can be more pronounced than when either is consumed alone.

Are less dangerous than when either is consumed alone.

Are usually minimal.

Often balance out.

Many drugs, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, can impair your ability to ride safely. Some medications become even more dangerous when combined with alcohol.

9. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

10. Riding alongside a car:

Is encouraged.

Can place you in a blind spot.

Is not an issue unless the roadway is wet.

Can make driving easier for the other motorist.

Riding directly alongside another vehicle is dangerous because it may place you in the driver's blind spot. Additionally, the vehicle will block your path of escape.
