8. More than half of all motorcycle crashes:

Happen at night.

Are caused by bald tires.

Occur at speeds above 55 mph.

Involve inexperienced riders.

More than half of all motorcycle crashes involve riders who have been using their motorcycle for less than six months. Most crashes take place in broad daylight when the riders are traveling at low speeds.

9. In general, riders should:

Pick one lane position and always use it.

Change lane positions frequently to prevent monotony.

Choose a lane position that maximizes their space cushion.

Never use the center lane position.

Because road and traffic conditions are always changing, the safest lane position is also always changing. Choose the position that will maximize your space cushion and allow other drivers to see you most easily.

10. 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.

11. Of the following, which is not considered protective clothing?

A leather jacket

Full-fingered gloves

Long pants made of denim

Athletic shoes

In the event of a fall, a motorcyclist can receive protection from a leather jacket, long pants made of heavy denim, and full-fingered gloves. It is best for a motorcyclist to wear lace-up boots, high-top boots, or heavy shoes that support their ankles.

12. When riding with a passenger, you should:

Ride faster than usual.

Rider more slowly than usual.

Start slowing later than usual.

Try to squeeze into smaller gaps in traffic.

The added weight of a passenger will affect the handling of your motorcycle. Expect your motorcycle to accelerate more slowly than usual, turn more slowly than usual, and require extra space to come to a complete stop. Ride more slowly, start slowing sooner when approaching a stop, open up a larger space cushion, and wait for larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging into traffic.

13. If you find your motorcycle being chased by a dog, you should:

Swerve around the animal.

Stop until the animal loses interest.

Ride alongside the animal.

Approach the animal slowly, then speed up.

If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind.

14. The best lane position:

Is always the right portion of the lane.

Is always the center portion of the lane.

Is always the left portion of the lane.

Varies based on road, weather, and traffic conditions.

There is no single lane position that is always best and no single lane position that should always be avoided. You should vary your lane position in response to changes in riding conditions.
