1. If you are riding in traffic when a small animal enters your lane, you should:

Do whatever you can, including swerving into other lanes, to avoid hitting the animal.

Switch lanes as quickly as possible.

Stay in your lane.

Flash your lights to try to scare the animal.

Do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal in the road. If you are in traffic, however, you should remain in your lane. Swerving into another lane of traffic to avoid hitting an animal can cause you to collide with another driver. Hitting something small is less dangerous than hitting something big.

2. When riding with a passenger, you should do all of the following, except:

Ride more slowly than you would normally.

Start slowing earlier than you would normally.

Increase your following distance.

Not communicate with the passenger while riding.

Because of a passenger's additional weight, a motorcycle will respond more slowly with a passenger on board than with just one occupant. With a passenger, you should travel a bit more slowly than you normally would, start slowing sooner than you normally would, and increase your following distance. Always warn your passenger of any special conditions ahead.

Follow me

Slow down

Speed up

Exit

Hand signals are an important part of communication when riding in groups. This hand signal means "follow me."

4. To reduce the amount of time you need to react to a hazard, you should:

Always ride under the speed limit.

Cover the clutch and brakes.

Shift into neutral when slowing.

Pull the clutch when turning.

In potential high-risk areas, such as school zones or construction zones, cover the clutch and both brakes. This cuts down the amount of time you will need to react to a hazard.

5. Nearly half of all motorcycle crash fatalities are caused by:

Road conditions.

The rider’s helmet.

Alcohol impairment.

Mechanical failure.

Alcohol is a major contributor to motorcycle crashes, particularly fatal crashes. Studies show that 40 to 45 percent of all riders killed in motorcycle crashes had been drinking.
