Motorcycle riding scenario 53: Before carrying a passenger, what should you adjust?
A. Suspension, tire pressure, mirrors, and riding technique — Suspension, tire pressure, mirrors, and riding technique. The motorcycle operator manual stresses smooth control inputs, visibility, and planning ahead. This response gives the rider time and space to manage the hazard safely.
To make yourself more visible at night, you should:
D. Use high beams when no oncoming traffic is present, wear reflective gear, and ride in the tire tracks — At night, use high beams (except when oncoming traffic is present), wear reflective gear, and ride in wheel tracks where road reflectors are positioned. Reduce speed to stay within your headlight distance.
In Delaware, may a motorcyclist ride between lanes of traffic (lane splitting)?
D. No — it is not permitted — Delaware has no law authorizing lane splitting, so riding between lanes is not permitted and can result in a citation. Only California expressly allows it.
In Delaware, who is required to wear a motorcycle helmet?
C. Riders 18 and younger, plus novice riders during their first two years — Delaware requires a helmet for riders 18 and younger and for novice riders during their first two years of licensure. Delaware also requires every rider to have an approved helmet available while riding.
Riding a motorcycle requires more coordination than driving a car. Alcohol affects:
C. Balance, coordination, judgment, and reaction time — Alcohol impairs the balance, coordination, judgment, and reaction time that safe motorcycle riding demands. Because motorcycles are inherently less stable than four-wheeled vehicles, even a small amount of alcohol creates a disproportionately high crash risk.
The right third of the lane is best when:
A. Passing vehicles in the left lane or oncoming traffic — Use the right third when you need to create space from vehicles on your left, like when being passed.
If you must swerve to avoid an obstacle, you should:
D. Brake first, then swerve (or swerve then brake) — Separate braking and swerving—trying to do both at once can cause loss of traction. Brake, then swerve (or swerve, then brake).
To obtain a motorcycle endorsement, you generally must:
C. Pass a written knowledge test and a riding skills test — Most states require passing both a written knowledge test and a riding skills test (or completion of a safety course) for a motorcycle endorsement.
When approaching an intersection, scan for:
C. Cars, pedestrians, road surface hazards, and cross traffic from all directions — Intersections are high-risk areas. Look left-right-left for cross traffic, check for turning vehicles, pedestrians, and road conditions.
The center of a lane can be dangerous because:
C. Oil and fluid buildup from other vehicles accumulates there — The center of a lane often has oil, fluid drips, and debris from other vehicles. The left or right tire tracks usually offer better traction.
