20. The front brake:

Provides less than half of a motorcycle's braking power.

Provides about 70 percent of a motorcycle's braking power.

Should not be used unless the roadway is wet.

Should be the only brake you use.

The front brake is much more powerful than the rear one and provides at least 70 percent of a motorcycle's total stopping power. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

21. You have been drinking alcohol. If you wait an hour for each drink before riding your motorcycle:

You cannot be arrested for drinking and riding.

Your riding skills will not be affected.

Side effects from the drinking may still remain.

You will be okay as long as you ride slowly.

On average, the body can eliminate the alcohol content of about one drink per hour. However, some alcohol may accumulate in the body even if a person consumes only one drink per hour. Their abilities and judgment can still be impaired.

22. Which of the following types of footwear is best for a motorcycle operator?

Sturdy boots

Tennis shoes

Shoes with loose laces

Sandals

Sturdy boots or shoes that are high enough to support the ankles can provide the best protection for motorcyclists. Laced up boots are best, but high-top boots or heavy shoes are fine. If a motorcyclist wears shoes that have long laces, they should be sure to securely tuck the laces away before riding.

23. Signals on a motorcycle:

Are not very important.

Are even more important than signals on larger vehicles.

Should not be used unless another vehicle is right next to the motorcycle.

Are less important than signals on larger vehicles.

Because motorcyclists are more vulnerable than the drivers of cars and trucks, appropriate use of signals by motorcyclists is even more important than it is for other drivers.

24. When choosing a helmet, you will get the most protection by using a helmet that:

Fits loosely.

Meets U.S. DOT standards.

Has survived a previous crash.

Provides hearing protection.

To ensure that you are getting as much protection as possible, choose a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and state standards. Helmets should fit snugly all the way around.

25. When you are riding on a bridge grating, you should:

Always ride on the far right side of the lane.

Always ride on the far left side of the lane.

Slowly zigzag across the grating.

Relax, maintain a steady speed, and ride straight across the surface.

Crossing rain grooves or bridge gratings may cause your motorcycle to move in a weaving motion. This is usually not dangerous, so simply relax and proceed across the surface at a steady speed. Trying to ride at an angle to compensate for the weave is dangerous because it forces you to zigzag to stay in your lane.
