7. Eye protection is required for:

All riders.

Only riders under the age of 18.

Only riders who have held their license for less than two years.

In South Dakota, anyone operating a motorcycle or moped must use eye protection in the form of glasses, goggles, a face shield, or a windshield. A face shield can provide the best protection for a rider.

8. When it starts to rain, it is usually best to:

Ride in the center of the lane.

Ride in the tire tracks left by cars.

Pull to the side of the road until the rain stops.

When it starts to rain, the oily strip down the center of a lane is especially hazardous. Avoid this danger by riding in the tire tracks left by cars. The left tire track is often safest, but this can vary.

9. When passing a row of parked vehicles, a motorcycle rider has an advantage over an automobile driver because:

The motorcycle can accelerate more quickly than a car.

The motorcyclist can ride in the left part of the lane to avoid people and cars to their right.

Motorcycles have a shorter stopping distance than cars do.

When passing a row of parked vehicles to your right, you may ride in the left portion of your lane. This way, you can more easily avoid opening doors, drivers getting out of vehicles, or people stepping out from between vehicles. Only ride in the left portion of the lane if there is no oncoming traffic.

10. Which of the following factors may affect the blood alcohol content (BAC) of a person?

The amount of alcohol consumed

11. Under normal riding conditions, one of the best ways to help others see your motorcycle is:

To flash your lights.

To keep your high beam headlight turned on.

To ensure that your motorcycle is painted a dark color.

The best way to help others see your motorcycle is to have your headlight turned on (as well as your running lights, if applicable). Use your high beam headlight both day and night, whenever it is legal and safe to do so.
