1. When choosing clothes for riding, which of the following is not a good choice?

A jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely

Boots or shoes that cover your ankles

Gloves made of leather

A baseball cap to cover your hair

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

2. When riding with passengers, you should:

Start slowing sooner than you would if riding alone.

Use only your front brake to slow.

Never talk to them.

Start in the center of the lane.

Because of the additional weight, your motorcycle will take more time to slow down when carrying a passenger than when you are riding alone. Therefore, when approaching a stop with a passenger, you should begin slowing sooner than you would without a passenger.

3. Riding in the central lane position:

Keeps others from seeing you.

Is always the safest option when approaching intersections.

Discourages others from sharing your lane.

Should be avoided, if possible.

Motorcycles need a full lane to operate safely. It is dangerous, and generally prohibited, for a motorcycle and another vehicle to travel next to one another in the same lane. Riding in the center of your lane discourages others from trying to share your lane.

4. When riding over rough surfaces, you should:

Hold the handgrips loosely to allow for movement.

Hold the handgrips firmly to maintain control.

Use lots of throttle to help you get over the rough surface.

Ride without a helmet as the helmet could become loose and cover your face.

When riding over a rough surface, hold onto the handgrips firmly to ensure that you will maintain directional control over your motorcycle.

5. What does this signal mean?

Rest stop

High beams on

Turn right

Hazard

Signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. When the lead rider's right leg is extended, it means there is a hazard in the roadway on their right side.
