Warning signs are yellow with black lettering or symbols and provide important information to motorists about upcoming road conditions.

3. If taking a long trip, you should:

Try to minimize the number of rest breaks.

Use artificial stimulants, like caffeine, if you feel drowsy.

Dress warmly to avoid getting too cold during the ride.

Schedule more than 12 hours of riding a day.

To reduce the risk of fatigue on a long trip, dress to protect yourself from tiring elements, such as wind, cold, and rain. Limit yourself to no more than six hours of riding per day and take rest brakes at least every two hours. Avoid using artificial stimulants, as these only result in extreme fatigue when they wear off.

4. The center portion of a lane often contains an oily strip. This strip:

Is not safe for motorcyclists at any time.

Is usually safe for motorcyclists, unless it is raining.

Should always be avoided since other parts of the lane do not have the oily strip.

Adds to traction for most motorcycle tires.

Oily drippings from cars collect in a strip in the center of a traffic lane. Unless the road is wet, this area will generally still provide enough traction for motorcyclists to ride safely. Because the strip is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to ride to one side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

5. As an operator, you should prepare a passenger to ride by instructing them to do each of the following, except:

Get on the motorcycle after the engine has been started.

Sit as far forward as possible.

Maintain a large space between themselves and you.

Keep their legs away from the muffler and chains.

Before beginning a ride, you should ask your passenger to mount the motorcycle only after the engine has been started. They should sit as far forward as they can without crowding you and hold onto the motorcycle's passenger handholds or onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep their legs away from the muffler, chains, and other moving parts.

6. How can you discourage another vehicle from sharing your lane?

Ride in the middle of your lane.

Ride in the left portion of your lane.

Ride in the right portion of your lane.

Swerve from side to side in your lane.

To discourage automobile drivers from trying to share your lane, ride in the center portion of the lane.
