13. If you borrow a motorcycle:

Don’t worry about checking the tire pressure.

Expect it to handle the same as your own bike.

The lender will make sure the brakes work so you don't have to.

Give yourself an extra cushion of space when riding to allow more time to react.

If you borrow a motorcycle, make all of the same pre-ride safety checks that you would make on your own motorcycle. You should ride cautiously when using an unfamiliar motorcycle and allow yourself extra space when stopping.

14. When riding downhill on a motorcycle with a sidecar:

Stopping will be easier than when riding without a sidecar.

Stopping will take longer than when riding without a sidecar.

You cannot stop.

Stopping is about as easy as it is when riding without the sidecar.

Riding with a sidecar increases the weight of a motorcycle and increases the braking force needed to stop the motorcycle. Slowing and stopping take longer when riding a vehicle downhill than when riding on a flat surface.

15. It is recommended that a motorcyclist:

Shift gears in a turn.

Shift gears before a turn.

Change power suddenly in a turn.

Ride the brake throughout the turn.

It is recommended that you change gears prior to entering a turn.

16. Which type of sign is yellow with black lettering or symbols?

Warning

Service

Regulatory

Speed limit

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

17. A motorcycle needs:

Less frequent attention than a car.

More frequent attention than a car.

To have pre-ride checks performed only by a mechanic.

To be serviced only at a dealer.

Because a small technical fault can have more serious consequences on a motorcycle than on a car, motorcycles need to be checked more frequently. Complete a thorough check before every ride.

18. When riding near stopped or slow-moving cars, a motorcyclist should:

Pull over and wait until traffic begins to move.

Ride on the shoulder to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Weave between the cars to get through the area as quickly as possible.

Not weave between the cars.

Riding between slowed or parked cars can leave you vulnerable to unexpected hazards, such as opening car doors or cars suddenly pulling into traffic. If a hazard arises, you will not have room to safely maneuver. Never travel on the shoulder of a road because other drivers will never expect you to be there.
