7. What can you do to increase your chances of being seen at an intersection?

Ride while using your headlight.

Swerve within your lane to draw attention to your motorcycle.

Raise your arms.

Avoid using your brakes.

To increase your chances of being seen at an intersection, use your headlight and ride in a lane position that creates the best view of oncoming traffic. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle that allows you to take evasive action.

8. Impairment from alcohol:

Begins with the first drink.

Begins at about half of the legal limit.

Occurs at the legal limit.

Occurs only if you have had multiple drinks.

As little as one drink can have a significant effect on the abilities that you need for safe riding. You can be impaired even if you are well below the legal blood alcohol limit. No amount of alcohol is safe to consume before riding.

9. It is best to not ride directly alongside another vehicle because:

You may be riding in its blind spot.

It is distracting to have a vehicle next to you.

Other drivers may want to use the lane.

It would be difficult to see what is happening behind you.

It is dangerous to ride directly alongside a vehicle in another lane because you may be in the vehicle's blind spot and the driver will have no way of knowing you are there. It can also be dangerous because the vehicle may block your path of escape if another hazard arises.

Plans to turn left.

Is about to stop.

Plans to turn right.

Is about to slow down.

Instead of mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is extended straight out to the left, it means the operator plans to turn left or change lanes to the left.

11. A passenger should never:

Wear a helmet.

Lean when the operator leans.

Wear clothing that is tight.

Ride sidesaddle.

In South Carolina, passengers under the age of 21 must wear a helmet and eye protection, though it is recommended that all motorcycle riders wear helmets and eye protection. Passengers should avoid wearing loose clothing that might catch on the motorcycle and should always lean with the operator when turning. Passengers should never be allowed to ride sidesaddle.

12. The shortest and safest stops are accomplished:

By using only the rear brake.

By using only the front brake.

By allowing the front tire to lock up.

By using both the front and rear brakes.

The shortest and safest stops are achieved by using both the front and rear brakes in a smooth and progressive manner, without skidding either tire.
