Motorcycle riding scenario 35: In a quick stop, how should a rider use the brakes?
C. Use both brakes progressively while keeping the motorcycle upright — Use both brakes progressively while keeping the motorcycle upright. 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.
When stopping normally, you should:
B. Apply both brakes smoothly, downshift, and use the friction zone as you stop — Use both brakes smoothly, downshift through gears, and ease out the clutch through the friction zone as you come to a stop.
When riding in strong crosswinds, you should:
D. Lean into the wind and adjust lane position — Lean into the wind, move to the side of the lane the wind is coming from, reduce speed, and allow room for gusts.
In Louisiana, 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, Louisiana requires motorcyclists to protect their eyes. Riders without a windshield must wear approved eye protection — goggles, a face shield, or safety glasses.
What causes a motorcycle to make a U-turn especially difficult?
A. The wide turning radius, low speed instability, and need to use friction zone and rear brake together — U-turns require low speed (challenging balance), a wide arc, coordination of clutch friction zone, throttle, and rear brake for control. Practice in a parking lot before attempting tight U-turns in traffic.
Motorcycle riding scenario 3: Before carrying a passenger, what should you adjust?
C. 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.
When making tight, low-speed turns (parking lot), you should:
D. Turn your head and look where you want to go — Look where you want to go. Turn your head fully in the direction of the turn—the bike follows your eyes.
Keeping a 12-second visual lead means you should:
C. Look ahead to where you will be in about 12 seconds to spot hazards early — Looking that far ahead gives you time to see and react to hazards before they become emergencies.
In Louisiana, is lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) legal?
B. No — lane splitting is illegal — Lane splitting is illegal in Louisiana. Only California expressly permits it; riding between lanes here can result in a citation.
When a car is waiting to turn left across your path at an intersection, you should:
D. Slow down, cover your brakes, and prepare for the car to turn — Assume the driver may not see you. Slow down, cover your brakes, and be prepared to stop or swerve if needed.
