8. How can you get sober after drinking alcohol?

Wait.

Drink coffee.

Exercise.

The only way to sober up after drinking is to give your body the time it needs to remove the alcohol. There are no techniques that will speed up this process.

9. The proper action to take when riding an unfamiliar motorcycle for the first time is to:

Just start riding. There is no better way to learn than by doing.

Just start riding. Most bikes are similar, so you don’t have to take the time to identify safety features.

Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes before riding to learn the bike's gear pattern.

Every bike is a little different, so don't start riding an unfamiliar motorcycle without first familiarizing yourself with how it operates. Do a safety and maintenance check; find out where everything is located; and work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times to learn its gear pattern.

10. When sitting on a motorcycle, you should:

Use your arms to hold up your body.

Sit at an angle so your arms can support your weight.

Sit so you can use your arms to control the motorcycle.

Sit with a posture that allows you to use your arms to control your motorcycle. You should not be positioned in a way that requires your arms to prop up your body and support your weight.

11. When changing lanes:

Your mirrors can adequately show you your surroundings.

Do a head check in addition to using your mirrors.

Activate your turn signal and immediately move to the right or left.

Like any vehicle, motorcycles have blind spots. In addition to using your mirrors, you must always turn your head to check your blind spot before changing lanes.

12. One problem with a motorcyclist riding directly next to another vehicle is that:

The other vehicle may block the motorcyclist's escape route.

The motorcyclist can be easily seen by other drivers.

The motorcyclist may not be able to read signs on the side of the road.

Riding alongside another vehicle is dangerous because the vehicle could veer into your lane and sideswipe you. Additionally, the vehicle could block your escape route if a hazard arises.

13. If carrying a package while riding a motorcycle, you:

May use one hand to steer while using the other hand to hold the package.

Need to keep both hands on the handlebars.

Can rest the package in front of you and occasionally use your hands to hold the package.

It is prohibited to operate a motorcycle while carrying anything that may prevent you from having both hands on the handlebars at all times.

14. If you borrow a motorcycle, you should:

Assume all controls are in the same location as they are on your motorcycle.

Immediately take it out on the highway.

Get familiar with it in a controlled area.

All motorcycles are at least somewhat different. Before riding a motorcycle that is new to you, take the time to learn where all of the controls are. Ride the motorcycle in a controlled area to get used to it before taking it out on the road.
