1. To control a motorcycle properly, you should:

Sit so you can use your arms to steer, not to hold yourself up.

Sit far enough back on the seat that you can keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Drag your feet on the ground.

When riding, sit so you are able use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.

2. If riding a three-wheel motorcycle in a group, you should travel in a:

Staggered formation.

Pyramid formation.

Single-file line.

Row of pairs.

While riding in a staggered formation is usually best for a group of two-wheeled motorcycles, three-wheeled motorcycles are too wide to allow this formation. A group of riders on three-wheeled motorcycles should travel in a single-file line.

3. Approved helmets:

Can limit the view of the motorcycle operator.

Allow the motorcycle operator to see as far to the sides as necessary.

Are dangerous to wear.

Do not have to be worn if the motorcycle operator thinks their view would be limited.

While some people worry that wearing a helmet may dangerously limit their field of vision, this is not the case. Any approved helmet will let the operator see as far to the sides as is needed for safe riding.

4. Rain suits:

Should not be used.

Should not balloon when riding.

Are not needed since motorcycles shouldn't be operated in the rain.

Should tear easily.

High-quality rain suits designed for motorcycle riding will resist tearing and ballooning when a rider travels at high speeds.

5. When riding at night, a motorcyclist should maintain a minimum following distance of:

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Four seconds.

Five seconds.

Because it is more difficult to see and judge distances in the dark than in daylight, you should maintain an expanded following distance of at least three seconds when riding at night. It may take you longer than usual to realize the vehicle in front of you has stopped and you may need additional time to slow or stop to avoid hitting the vehicle.
