Ride more slowly than you would if riding during the day.

Ride faster than you would if riding during the day.

When traveling at night, ride more slowly than you would if riding during the day, especially when traveling on an unfamiliar road. Riding more slowly allows you additional time to avoid hazards under conditions of decreased visibility.

8. Before starting out, you should make sure the fuel valve is:

Open.

Closed.

Covered.

Before setting out on a ride, you should make sure that your motorcycle's fuel supply valve is open. If the fuel valve is closed, the engine may still start with the fuel that is remaining in the lines from a previous ride, but it will stall once the lines are empty.

9. To reduce the chances of a collision, a motorcyclist should:

Stare straight in front of their motorcycle.

Be unwilling to move to avoid a potential hazard.

Scan their path of travel, looking at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of their motorcycle.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a collision, consistently scan your path of travel at least 10 to 15 seconds ahead of your motorcycle. Scanning the road ahead will give you time to react to a hazard before meeting the hazard.

10. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can protect you from:

Noise.

Dust.

Glare.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can protect your face in the event of a crash. It also provides protection against more routine hazards, such as pebbles thrown up from other vehicles, wind, dust, dirt, rain, and insects.

11. Your lane position should do all of the following, except:

Increase your ability to be seen.

Help you avoid surface hazards.

Invite other road users into your lane.

A properly chosen lane position should provide a number of benefits, including an increased ability to see others and to be seen. It should help you avoid wind blasts, other drivers' blind spots, and surface hazards. Your lane position should discourage other drivers from trying to share your lane and provide you with an escape route, should a hazard arise.

12. When approaching a blind intersection, riders should:

Stop at the stop line before moving forward to improve their view of cross traffic.

Ignore the stop line and move forward to get a better look.

Stop at the stop line then proceed through the intersection.

When approaching a blind intersection that is controlled by a stop line or stop sign, you must first stop where indicated. You may then edge forward and stop again just short of where the cross traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is approaching. Make sure your front wheel stays out of the crossroad while you are looking.
