7. When riding behind a car, you should ride:

In any part of the lane.

In the part of the lane closest to the shoulder.

In the part of the lane that places your image in the car's rearview mirror.

As close to the car as possible.

When following a car, you should ride in a position that allows the driver to see you in their rearview mirror. Usually, that means riding in the center portion of the lane. Because most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than they check their side mirrors, being in this lane position increases the chance that they will see you.

8. When carrying a passenger, a motorcyclist should tell the passenger to:

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold onto the seat.

Put their feet on the muffler.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

9. 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.

10. A DOT-approved helmet:

Restricts the wearer's vision to the sides.

Can greatly reduce the severity of a head injury.

Is usually uncomfortable.

Makes it more difficult for the wearer to control their motorcycle.

Wearing a helmet while riding greatly improves your chances of avoiding serious injury to your head or neck in the case of a crash. A DOT-approved helmet will not restrict your vision to the sides.

11. When going through a curve, you should:

Always stay in the same portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the left portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Always stay in the right portion of the lane throughout the entire curve.

Remember that the best path may not follow the curve of the road.

Road and traffic conditions can change at any time. Always be prepared to change your lane position as appropriate no matter where you are on a roadway. The best path through a curve does not necessarily follow the curve of the road.

12. When braking, you should:

Squeeze the front brake and press the rear brake.

Grab at the front brake and squeeze the rear brake.

Jam on the front brake and grab at the rear brake.

Press down on the front brake and jam on the rear brake.

To brake, squeeze the front brake lever and press down on the rear brake pedal. Always use both brakes when slowing or stopping.
