1. When conducting a pre-ride check, be sure that:
Explanation
Check your brake levers individually before every ride. Make sure each one feels firm and holds the motorcycle when the brake is fully applied.
2. Slippery surfaces can make it difficult to control a motorcycle. Which of the following would be considered a slippery surface?
Explanation
Wet pavement; roads covered in loose gravel or sand; muddy, snowy, or icy areas; painted lane markings; and metal covers and plates in the road can be slippery surfaces. Motorcyclists should ride with extra caution when riding over slippery surfaces.
3. Maintain an adequate following distance behind other vehicles:
Explanation
Maintaining an adequate following distance ensures that you will have enough space to stop or swerve out of the way if the vehicle ahead of you stops suddenly. A space cushion also provides you with a better view of any hazards on the road surface, such as potholes.
4. When riding behind a car, you should ride:
Explanation
When following a car, you should ride in a position that allows the driver to see you in their rearview mirror. Usually, that means riding in the center portion of the lane. Because most drivers check their rearview mirrors much more often than they check their side mirrors, being in this lane position increases the chance that they will see you.
5. Which of the following is not considered protective clothing for a motorcyclist?
Explanation
You should wear appropriate protective clothing when riding. Protective garments include sturdy pants and jackets that entirely cover your arms and legs, boots or heavy shoes that cover and support your ankles, and sturdy gloves.
6. For the best protection, jackets and pants:
Explanation
To provide adequate protection when riding, jackets and pants should cover your arms and legs completely. Your clothing should fit snugly but be loose enough to let you move freely. Leather or newer kinds of synthetic materials provide the best protection in the case of an accident.
