19. What should a motorcyclist do to prevent possible injury when riding on a slippery surface?

Increase their speed.

Reduce their speed.

Make sudden moves.

Ride on the shoulder.

When riding on a slippery surface, it is safest to decrease your speed. Making sudden moves on a slippery surface could cause your motorcycle to skid. Do not travel on the shoulder to escape a slippery road.

20. If you are riding and your motorcycle starts to handle differently, you should:

Continue riding normally.

Pull over and check the tires.

Pull over to check the chain.

Pull over to check the windshield.

A sudden change in handling may indicate that a tire on your motorcycle has failed. If you feel a change in the way your motorcycle handles, pull over safely and check your tires.

21. Your motorcycle’s brake light is:

More noticeable than a car’s brake lights.

Less noticeable than a car’s brake lights.

Less important than a car’s brake lights.

More easily seen than a car’s brake lights.

The brake light of a motorcycle is usually not as noticeable as the brake lights of a car. Flashing your brake light before slowing or stopping can help other drivers notice that you are about to brake.

22. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So you can jump off the motorcycle if you need to.

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

So you can get a better view of the uneven surface.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.

23. Riding at night:

Is discouraged.

Is made safer by wearing reflective clothing.

Is not safe because other drivers cannot see your turn signals.

Should only be done in the city.

You should wear reflective materials when riding at night to make yourself more visible to other road users.

24. Unlike most food and drinks, alcohol does not need to be digested. This means that:

Within minutes of being consumed, the alcohol reaches the brain and begins to affect the drinker.

The alcohol never gets removed from the body.

It takes a long time to feel the effects of alcohol.

Once it is in your system, your body gets rid of the alcohol quickly.

Because it does not have to be digested, alcohol enters a person's bloodstream quickly and reaches the brain within minutes. It gets eliminated from the body at a relatively slow rate: about one drink per hour.

25. The front brake is:

Safe, if used properly.

Safe, even if used improperly.

Only to be used if the rear brake fails.

Not to be used regularly.

The front brake is safe to use as long as it is used properly. The front brake of a motorcycle is more powerful than the rear brake, providing at least three-fourths of the total stopping power.
