What happens if a motorcycle chain is too loose?
A. It can slap around, skip off the sprocket, or even jam and lock the rear wheel — A too-loose chain can skip, slap, and in extreme cases come off the sprocket entirely or jam against the swingarm, potentially locking the rear wheel. Both are extremely dangerous at speed.
If you enter a curve too fast, the safest response is to:
D. Lean more and look through the turn — trust the motorcycle's capabilities — If too fast in a curve, lean more and look through the turn. The motorcycle usually has more traction than riders think. Abrupt braking causes crashes.
A worn or loose chain on a motorcycle can:
B. Come off while riding, potentially locking the rear wheel — A loose or worn chain can skip, jam the sprocket, or come off entirely—potentially locking the rear wheel and causing a crash.
The proper approach to a blind curve is to:
B. Slow down, position for maximum visibility, and be ready for hazards — Slow before the curve, position for best visibility into the curve, and be prepared to stop if there's an unexpected hazard.
In Connecticut, is lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) legal?
A. No — lane splitting is illegal — Lane splitting is illegal in Connecticut. Only California expressly permits it; riding between lanes here can result in a citation.
If your rear wheel locks during braking on a straight path, you should:
A. Keep it locked until stopped if traveling straight — If the rear locks while traveling straight, you can keep it locked until stopped. Releasing may cause a high-side crash.
When riding a motorcycle, your lane position should:
A. Vary based on road conditions and traffic — Adjust your lane position based on traffic, road conditions, and visibility to maximize safety.
What causes most motorcycle crashes?
C. Rider error — Most motorcycle crashes are caused by rider error, often due to lack of experience or improper training.
What does 'target fixation' cause in a curve?
C. The rider steers toward whatever they are looking at, potentially off the road — Target fixation is the dangerous tendency to steer toward what you focus on. In a curve, staring at the edge of the road or an obstacle causes you to drift toward it. Always look through the turn where you want to go.
The best riding jacket is made of:
C. Leather or synthetic materials with armor — Leather or modern textile riding gear with armor provides abrasion resistance and impact protection.
