  1. WHEN RIDING AT NIGHT, YOU SHOULD:

    Answer: Increase your following distance and reduce speed to match your headlight range

    At night your stopping distance can exceed your headlight range, so you must slow down and increase following distance to give yourself time to react to hazards you cannot see until they are illuminated.

  2. WHEN RIDING THROUGH A CURVE, YOU SHOULD:

    Answer: Look through the curve toward your exit point

    Looking through the curve toward where you want to go allows you to judge your path and helps the motorcycle follow your line of sight naturally, improving control and balance.

  3. WHICH LANE POSITION IS BEST WHEN YOU WANT TO BE SEEN BY A DRIVER WAITING TO ENTER FROM A SIDE STREET ON YOUR RIGHT?

    Answer: The center or left portion of your lane

    Riding in the center or left portion of your lane moves you away from the driver's blind spot and places you more in the driver's direct line of sight, making you easier to notice.

  4. WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOURSELF MORE VISIBLE TO CROSS TRAFFIC IS TO:

    Answer: Cover the brake and move to the portion of the lane most visible to crossing vehicles

    Covering the brake reduces reaction time if you need to stop, and choosing the most visible lane position ensures drivers checking for traffic are more likely to see you before pulling into your path.

  5. IF YOUR FRONT WHEEL BEGINS TO SKID WHILE BRAKING, YOU SHOULD:

    Answer: Release the front brake immediately and then reapply it more gently

    A locked front wheel causes loss of steering control. Releasing the front brake allows the wheel to spin again and regain traction; you can then reapply brake pressure smoothly and progressively.

  6. WHEN RIDING BEHIND A LARGE TRUCK OR BUS, YOU SHOULD INCREASE YOUR FOLLOWING DISTANCE BECAUSE:

    Answer: Your view ahead is blocked and you need more time to react to hazards

    Large vehicles block your view of the road ahead, hiding hazards such as slowing traffic or debris. A greater following distance gives you time to see around the vehicle and react appropriately.
