43. During the day, you should:

Not ride with your headlight on.

Ride with your headlight on, but only if it is cloudy.

Always ride with your headlight on.

Use your headlight if you think it helps.

You should always have your headlight on when riding, even during the day. This can make you twice as likely to be noticed by other drivers.

44. To lessen your chances of an accident, you should:

Only ride in the afternoon.

Follow the vehicle in front of you as closely as possible.

Not look ahead and focus only on your controls.

Communicate your intentions to other drivers.

To reduce the risk of a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

45. To help provide space for drivers attempting to merge into your lane from an entrance ramp, you should:

Stay in your lane.

Merge into the next lane, if possible.

Not worry about it, since they are the ones trying to merge.

Ride on the far left shoulder.

Drivers merging onto a highway and into your lane may not notice your motorcycle. Give them plenty of space to safely merge by moving into a different lane, if you can.

46. If you are using an unfamiliar motorcycle, what should you do before riding?

Ride like you would on your bike, since all bikes are about the same.

Check the controls and shift pattern.

Take the owner’s word that everything is in working order.

Assume you know where all the controls are located.

All motorcycles are slightly different, so you should check the controls and make sure you know the gear pattern before riding an unfamiliar motorcycle. Work the throttle, clutch, and brakes a few times prior to riding.

47. A DOT-compliant helmet has all of the following, except:

An impact-resistant outer shell.

An impact-absorbing inner liner.

A chinstrap retention system.

Bright colors painted on the outside.

Any U.S. Department of Transportation-compliant helmet is required to have an impact-resistant outer shell, an impact-absorbing inner liner, a comfort liner, and a chinstrap retention system.

48. The best source of information for your motorcycle is:

The owner’s manual.

A general book about motorcycles.

Someone who has a different type of motorcycle.

A television show about motorcycle riding.

To be sure you are familiar with the specific type of motorcycle that you are planning to ride, read the owner's manual before riding it for the first time. This is particularly important if you are riding a borrowed motorcycle.

49. A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield:

Is not necessary if you have a windshield.

Only protects your eyes.

Helps protect your whole face.

Is less effective than goggles.

A plastic, shatter-resistant face shield can help protect your whole face if you are involved in a crash. Goggles protect your eyes, but not the rest of your face. A windshield is not an adequate substitute for googles or a face shield.

50. When riding with a passenger, the operator should:

Maintain a longer following distance.

Increase their speed.

Deflate the tires to accommodate the extra weight.

Not warn passengers of impending hazards.

Because a motorcycle handles differently when under the weight of a passenger, an operator should maintain a larger space cushion when transporting another person.
