8. When passing a row of parked vehicles, a motorcycle rider has an advantage over an automobile driver because:

The motorcycle can accelerate more quickly than a car.

The motorcyclist can ride in the left part of the lane to avoid people and cars to their right.

Motorcycles have a shorter stopping distance than cars do.

When passing a row of parked vehicles to your right, you may ride in the left portion of your lane. This way, you can more easily avoid opening doors, drivers getting out of vehicles, or people stepping out from between vehicles. Only ride in the left portion of the lane if there is no oncoming traffic.

9. A DOT-compliant helmet:

Severely limits your vision.

Allows you to see as far to the sides as is necessary for safe riding.

Can become a hazard to the rider.

While some people believe that a helmet will limit their vision, this is not the case. Any U.S. Department of Transportation-approved helmet will allow the wearer to see as far as is needed for safe riding.

10. When buying a motorcycle helmet, you should be most concerned about the helmet's:

Price.

Protection.

Appearance.

Protection should be your first consideration when buying a motorcycle helmet.

11. When taking a curve while riding in a group, you should be in:

A single-file formation.

Pairs.

A staggered formation.

In general, it is best for a group to ride in a staggered formation. Move into a single-file formation when taking a curve, making a turn, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

12. When scanning the area around your motorcycle, you should:

Look for potential escape routes near intersections, shopping areas, or schools.

See if you can travel faster than other vehicles.

Stare at pedestrians.

While searching the road for potential hazards, focus on looking for escape routes in or around intersections, shopping areas, schools, and construction zones.

13. When starting your motorcycle, the engine should be in:

First gear.

Neutral.

Third gear.

Make sure your motorcycle's transmission is in neutral before you start the engine. Most motorcycles have a neutral indicator on the speedometer that lights up when the ignition switch is on and the cycle is in neutral.

14. Before every ride, you should:

Make sure your bike's brake lights work properly.

Make sure the paint on the bike is not peeling.

Make sure your bike is completely clean.

Perform safety checks before every motorcycle ride. Test your brake controls individually to make sure each one activates the brake lights.
