21. When traveling on a motorcycle with a sidecar, the passenger should ride:

On the motorcycle seat.

In the sidecar.

Either on the motorcycle or in the sidecar.

Neither on the motorcycle or in the sidecar.

If your motorcycle has a sidecar, it is best for your passenger to ride in the sidecar. They should keep their hands inside the sidecar at all times.

22. 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.

23. If you are transporting a passenger, they should:

Lean as you lean.

Hold onto the motorcycle seat.

Sit as far back as possible.

Never hold onto you.

A passenger should lean with the operator through turns and curves. They should sit as far forward as possible, without hindering the operator's control of the motorcycle, and hold onto passenger handholds or the operator's waist, hips, or belt.

24. 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.

25. Head and neck injuries can be reduced by:

Wearing a helmet.

Wearing a leather jacket.

Using the rear brake only.

Wearing goggles.

The risk of head and neck injuries is greatly reduced by wearing a high-quality helmet. A helmet is a rider's best defense against injury in the case of an accident.
