7. Most crashes happen:

At speeds greater than 55 mph.

After several hours of riding.

On short trips.

On long trips.

Most motorcycle crashes happen on trips that are shorter than five miles in length at speeds slower than 30 mph.

8. Passengers should:

Lean as the operator leans.

Hold onto their seat.

Sit as far back on the bike as possible.

Never hold onto the operator.

Passengers should sit directly behind the operator and lean as the operator leans. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding the operator, holding onto the operator's waist, hips, or belt.

9. When riding, the best protection for an operator is:

A cushion of space between their vehicle and other vehicles.

A good leather jacket.

Sturdy boots.

A good understanding of motorcycle laws.

Your first and best protection against collisions with other vehicles is simply to keep your distance from them. The only way to be sure you will have enough time to react to mistakes made by other drivers is to leave plenty of space between you and the vehicles around you. Wearing proper gear is also important when riding a motorcycle.

10. To adjust for added weight when riding with a passenger, you should:

Operate at a slower speed than usual.

Maintain a shorter following distance that you would if riding without a passenger.

Operate at a faster speed than usual.

Brake a little later than you would if riding without a passenger.

The extra weight of a passenger means that your motorcycle will need more time than usual to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the added weight, you should reduce your speed; start slowing earlier than normal; increase your following distance; and seek out larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging with traffic.

11. Why should you use both the front and rear brakes every time you slow or stop?

Using only one brake will cause the brakes to wear unevenly.

It develops good braking habits for emergency situations.

Using both brakes is the only way to slow down a motorcycle.

The brakes only work when both are applied.

Using both brakes even in normal stopping stops will help you develop the habit of always using both. Having this habit will serve you well in emergencies, where using both brakes may be critical.

Speed up.

Danger ahead.

Stop.

Merge.

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. If a lead rider extends their left arm straight down with their palm facing back, the group of riders should come to a stop.
