6. At intersections, the most common cause of crashes involving a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle is:

Drivers failing to properly yield the right-of-way to riders.

Riders not seeing drivers enter from side streets.

Drivers tailgating riders.

Riders not yielding to oncoming traffic.

Over one-half of crashes involving motorcycles and passenger vehicles are caused by drivers failing to properly yield the right-of-way to riders. Always be especially alert when approaching an intersection.

7. Studies show that when motorcycles have their headlights turned on during the day:

They are not as easy to see as other vehicles.

They are more visible to other drivers than when their headlights are turned off.

Other drivers are often confused.

They are less safe than when their headlights are turned off.

The best way to help other drivers see your motorcycle is to keep your headlight on whenever you ride. During the day, a motorcycle with its headlight on is twice as likely to be noticed.

8. 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.

9. To adjust for added weight when riding with a passenger, you should:

Operate at a slower speed than usual.

Maintain a shorter following distance that you would if riding without a passenger.

Operate at a faster speed than usual.

Brake a little later than you would if riding without a passenger.

The extra weight of a passenger means that your motorcycle will need more time than usual to speed up, slow down, and turn. To accommodate the added weight, you should reduce your speed; start slowing earlier than normal; increase your following distance; and seek out larger gaps when crossing, entering, or merging with traffic.

10. 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.
