7. A DOT-approved helmet:

Restricts the wearer's vision to the sides.

Can greatly reduce the severity of a head injury.

Is usually uncomfortable.

Makes it more difficult for the wearer to control their motorcycle.

Wearing a helmet while riding greatly improves your chances of avoiding serious injury to your head or neck in the case of a crash. A DOT-approved helmet will not restrict your vision to the sides.

8. If your motorcycle begins to wobble, you should:

Accelerate out of the wobble.

Use the brakes gradually.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Trying to accelerate out of a wobble is dangerous and will only make your motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly (without trying to fight the wobble), gradually close the throttle to slow down, and move your weight as far forward and downward as possible. Pull off the road as soon as you can.

9. If attempting to brake in a curve, you should:

Brake more gradually than you would on a straightaway.

Brake as hard as you would on a straightaway.

Wait until you are not in the curve to brake.

Only use the rear brake.

Because tires have less traction when a motorcycle is leaning than when it is upright, always try to position your motorcycle in an upright position before braking. If you must brake while in a curve, apply the brakes more smoothly and gradually than if your motorcycle was traveling on a straightaway.

10. If you are being chased by a dog, you should:

Kick it away.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Swerve around the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

Motorcycles often seem to attract dogs. If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind.

11. To stop quickly, you should:

Rely only on the front brake.

Rely only on the rear brake.

Use the front brake and then the rear brake.

Use both brakes at the same time.

If you need to stop quickly, you should apply both brakes at the same time.

12. Motorcyclists riding in a group should avoid pairing up because:

A merging driver may not see both riders.

Reflections from both helmets may make it difficult for the riders to see.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

It is too difficult for riders on the left side of a pairing to exit a highway.

When traveling in a group, it is never recommended for motorcyclists to ride in pairs. Neither rider will have adequate room to maneuver to avoid hazards.
