0.08 percent.

Under South Dakota's "Zero Tolerance" law, people below the legal drinking age of 21 can be arrested for operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.02 percent or higher. It is never safe to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

22. When preparing to ride with a passenger, instruct the passenger to:

Get onto the motorcycle before you.

Sit as far back as possible.

Hold firmly onto your waist, hips, or belt.

Ask your passenger to wait to mount the motorcycle until after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt.

23. The risk of a head or neck injury is reduced:

By wearing a helmet.

By riding more slowly.

By reading the owner’s manual.

A head or neck injury is always a risk when riding a motorcycle, regardless of your speed of travel. With few exceptions, the risk of head and neck injuries is greatly reduced by properly wearing a quality helmet.

24. When stopping your motorcycle while carrying a passenger, you should:

Ride a little faster than you normally would.

Start slowing earlier than you normally would.

Merge into smaller gaps of traffic than you normally would.

A passenger places extra weight on a motorcycle. Because of the added weight, the motorcycle will respond to the operator's movements more slowly than it would otherwise, taking more time to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the change in handling when carrying a passenger, you should reduce your speed, begin slowing down earlier when you stop, and look for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

25. If you are passing a row of parked vehicles to your right and there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should ride:

In the left portion of your lane.

In the right portion of your lane.

In the center of your lane.

If you are passing a row of parked vehicles to your right and there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should ride in the left portion of your lane. This will help you avoid hazards, such as car doors that are opening and pedestrians who are stepping out from between vehicles. If there is oncoming traffic, it is best to remain in the center portion of your lane to maximize the amount of space around you.
