Good motorcycle boots should:
A. Cover the ankle and have non-slip soles — Boots should be sturdy, cover the ankle for protection, have low heels that won't catch on controls, and non-slip soles.
Alcohol affects motorcycle riding by:
B. Impairing judgment, balance, coordination, and reaction time — Alcohol degrades every skill critical to motorcycle riding: judgment (knowing when to brake or swerve), balance (keeping the bike upright), coordination (smooth throttle and brake control), reaction time, and vision. Motorcyclists are about 29 times more likely to die in crashes than car occupants.
To turn right at higher speeds, you should:
D. Push the right handlebar forward — Push right, go right. Push left, go left. This is counter-steering—essential for controlling a motorcycle at normal speeds.
If your throttle is stuck open, you should:
D. Pull in the clutch and use the engine kill switch — Pull in the clutch immediately to disconnect the engine power, then use the engine kill switch. Apply brakes and pull over safely.
Reflective tape on your motorcycle and helmet helps you be seen:
C. Especially at night and in low-light conditions — Reflective material on the motorcycle and gear greatly increases visibility at night when headlights hit it.
If an oncoming vehicle has their high beams on and won't dim them, you should:
C. Look toward the right edge of the road to avoid being blinded — Avoid looking directly at oncoming high beams. Focus on the right edge of the road to maintain your lane position until they pass.
The only effective way to reduce your BAC is:
D. Time — Only time reduces BAC. Coffee, cold showers, and exercise do nothing to speed up alcohol metabolism.
If an animal runs into your path, the safest response is usually to:
A. Slow down and be prepared to stop rather than swerving into traffic — Braking keeps you in your lane and in control, while a hard swerve can send you into oncoming traffic or off the road.
Countersteering means pushing the handlebar on the side:
C. You want to turn toward — To countersteer, push the handlebar on the side you want to go. Push right to go right, push left to go left. This initiates the lean.
When riding at night, you should:
A. Reduce speed and increase following distance — Reduce speed and increase following distance at night due to reduced visibility and reaction time.
