1. When riding, you should:

Focus on the controls, including the speedometer, rather than the road.

Not be concerned with hazards, because hazards are minimal on the roadway.

Always look ahead, but try not to look for hazards.

When riding, always look well ahead of your vehicle to help you anticipate potential hazards. Doing this will help you react to hazards before meeting them.

2. When riding in a group, the best riding formation is generally:

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

A single-file line.

A pyramid formation.

A staggered formation is generally best when riding in a group. You should move into a single-file line when turning, riding in a curve, or entering or exiting a highway.

3. When it starts raining, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Pull off to the side of the road until the rain stops.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Beginning riders.

Those familiar with their motorcycle.

Always pick one part of the lane to occupy and never leave that part of the lane.

Vary your lane position as conditions warrant.

Only ride in the center of the lane so other vehicles can see you more easily.

There is no one lane position that is always best, nor one that should always be avoided. Change your lane position as necessary based on changing road and traffic conditions.

6. When downshifting, you should:

Shift through multiple gears at a time.

Shift through one gear at a time.
