1. Which of the following does not offer protection to a motorcycle rider?

A leather jacket

Boots that go over the ankle

A baseball cap that fits snugly

Gloves

To protect yourself against injury, you should wear a DOT-compliant helmet; face or eye protection; a jacket and long pants made of sturdy material; boots or shoes that are high and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles; and gloves made of durable material.

2. Riding gloves are often:

Made of leather.

Made of wool.

Not pre-curved.

Unsafe for the rider.

Gloves designed for motorcycle riding are usually made of leather. In addition to improving your grip, gloves provide protection for a rider's hands and fingers.

3. Use your mirrors when stopped at an intersection:

To see if vehicles parked on the sides of the street are entering traffic.

To look for vehicles changing lanes.

To watch for vehicles behind you that may not be slowing down.

To see if someone is planning to turn behind you.

When you are stopped at an intersection, use your mirrors to check for cars approaching you from behind. The drivers may not notice you until they are too close and you may need to react.

4. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Always ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Pull the clutch when turning.

In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

5. On a motorcycle:

The front brake is more powerful than the rear brake.

The rear brake is more powerful than the front brake.

The emergency brake is more powerful than the front or rear brake.

Brakes should only be used one at a time.

The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake, providing about three-quarters of the motorcycle's total stopping power. Always use both brakes simultaneously when you slow or stop.

6. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.
