3. When entering a curve, you should position your motorcycle:

In the outside of the curve.

In the inside of the curve.

All curves are different. When taking a curve, choose a lane position that is appropriate for conditions and adjust as needed.

The traffic light is about to change to red.

The traffic light is about to change to green.

Stop and wait for traffic to pass.

A solid yellow traffic light warns that the signal is about to change to red. You must slow and come to a stop before the intersection if it is safe to do so. If you are already within the intersection when the light turns yellow, continue through the intersection.

5. When entering a curve, you should always position your motorcycle:

On the left side of the lane.

In a position that allows you to most effectively see and be seen.

In the center of the lane.

When entering a curve, adjust your lane position to optimize your ability to see and be seen. Riding in the right portion of your lane when traveling through a lefthand curve may help you spot oncoming traffic as soon as possible. When traveling through a righthand curve, riding in a left center position may allow you to see oncoming cars early without putting you so close to the centerline that you could be hit by oncoming vehicles that take the curve too widely.

6. When carrying a load, it should be:

Secured as high as possible.

Secured as low as possible.

Secured on a sissy bar.

Loads should be secured low in order to avoid upsetting the motorcycle's balance.

7. To control a motorcycle well, you should:

Use your arms to hold yourself up.

Keep your knees against the gas tank.

Sit so your arms are straight when reaching for the handlebars.

When riding, you should be seated so you can use your arms to steer rather than to hold yourself up. Your elbows should be slightly bent when you hold the handgrips. Keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance.
