When riding in fog, you should:

B. Slow down and avoid sudden moves — Reduce speed before entering loose surface, keep the motorcycle as upright as possible, and avoid sudden throttle, brake, or steering inputs.
In Kentucky, a motorcyclist who is not protected by a windshield must have what?
C. Approved eye protection such as goggles, a face shield, or safety glasses — Like nearly every state, Kentucky requires motorcyclists to protect their eyes. Riders without a windshield must wear approved eye protection — goggles, a face shield, or safety glasses.
When carrying a heavy load, you may need to adjust your motorcycle's:
D. Tire pressure, suspension, and headlight aim for the added weight — Extra weight changes how the bike sits and handles, so the manufacturer's load settings for tires, suspension, and headlight keep it safe.

A. Riders age 20 and younger — Kentucky requires riders 20 and younger to wear a helmet. Riders 21 and older are exempt, though a helmet is strongly recommended.
The most common collision between cars and motorcycles occurs when:
A. A car turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle — The most common crash is a car turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Watch for turning vehicles at intersections.
Motorcycle riding scenario 41: Why should tire pressure be checked when tires are cold?
A. Heat from riding can raise pressure and hide an underinflated tire — Heat from riding can raise pressure and hide an underinflated tire. 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 be safer at intersections, you should:
A. Make eye contact with drivers and ensure they see you before proceeding — Try to make eye contact with drivers at intersections. If unsure they see you, wait. Never assume the right of way.
If your chain breaks while riding, you should:
A. Pull in the clutch, coast to the side of the road, and stop — A broken chain means no power to the rear wheel. Pull in the clutch and coast safely to the roadside.
Before carrying a passenger for the first time, you should explain:
A. How to mount/dismount, where to hold, to keep feet on pegs, and how to lean in turns — Brief your passenger on mounting/dismounting, hand holds, foot pegs, leaning with the bike, and what to do during stops.
