Ride in a weaving pattern.

If you are following a car, the driver is most likely to notice you if you position yourself behind them in the center of your lane. This lane position places you in the driver's rearview mirror. Most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more frequently than they check their side mirrors.

Your riding skills will not be affected by the alcohol.

You will be fine as long as you ride slowly.

On average, a person's body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, it is still possible for alcohol to accumulate in a person's system even if they consume only one drink per hour. This accumulation can still affect their ability to ride safely.

6. Why should a load be placed low on a motorcycle?

If a load is too high, it raises the center of gravity.

If a load is too high, it may interfere with the turn signals.

It may be difficult to see over a load that is placed too high.

Others can't see your load if it is low.

Placing a load too high on a motorcycle will raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and risk upsetting its balance.
