7. Maximum straight-line braking is done by:

Using only the rear brake.

Using only the front brake.

Using both the front and rear brakes without locking either wheel.

Using both the front and rear brakes while locking the rear wheel.

On a straightaway, you can stop in the shortest distance by using both brakes. Try to avoid locking either brake.

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

Gradually brake.

Accelerate.

Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually.

Downshift.

Do not try to accelerate out of a wobble because doing so will only make the motorcycle more unstable. Instead, grip the handlebars firmly, slow down by gradually closing the throttle, move your weight as far forward and downward as possible, and pull off the road as soon as you can. Avoid applying the brakes, as this may also worsen the wobble.

9. A face shield:

Provides protection for the eyes and face.

Is not recommended.

Is required.

Does not protect the face as well as goggles.

A plastic, impact-resistant face shield provides the greatest degree of protection for a wearer's eyes and face. Eyeglasses or sunglasses are not an adequate substitute. In Vermont, you are not legally required to wear eye or face protection if your motorcycle has a windshield, though it is recommended.

10. When riding at night, you should travel:

More slowly than you would during the day under similar conditions.

At the speed you would travel during the day under similar conditions.

Faster than you would during the day under similar conditions.

On the shoulder of the road so other vehicles can see you.

When riding at night, travel at a slower speed than you would during the day under similar weather and traffic conditions. It can be difficult to see potential hazards in the dark, so slowing down can increase your chances of avoiding any hazards.

11. Smoothly downshifting on motorcycles:

Is a useless action.

Can allow the rider to engine brake.

Is illegal.

Should not be done if other vehicles are around.

Engine braking by smoothly downshifting can be a useful option for motorcyclists. If you choose to engine brake, apply your brake lights separately to let other drivers know that you are slowing down.

12. Riding alongside another rider:

Allows you to maximize the surface of the road.

Should be avoided because it limits your escape routes.

Allows you to communicate with one another.

Makes it easier for other motorists to pass.

You should not ride alongside another motorcyclist because doing so will limit both of your possible routes of escape if you encounter a hazard.
