Motorcycles sold in the U.S. since __________ automatically have the headlights on when running.
A. 1974 B. 1976 C. 1978 D. 1980 |
C. 1978
Explanation: The best way to help others see your motorcycle is to keep the headlight on - at all times (although motorcycles sold in the U.S. since 1978 automatically have the headlights on when running.) Studies show that, during the day, a motorcycle with its light on is twice as likely to be noticed. Use of the high beam during the day increases the likelihood that oncoming drivers will see you. Use the low beam at night and in cloudy weather. |
|

Which of the following statements is false?
A. If an animal chases you, don't try to kick the animal. B. Hitting something small, like an animal, is more dangerous to you than hitting something big, like a car. C. If you are in danger of hitting an animal in traffic, remain in your lane. D. all of the above |
B. Hitting something small, like an animal, is more dangerous to you than hitting something big, like a car.
Naturally, you should do everything you safely can to avoid hitting an animal. If you are in traffic, however, remain in your lane. Hitting something small is less dangerous to you than hitting something big - like a car. Motorcycles seem to attract dogs. If you are chased, downshift and approach the animal slowly. As you approach it, accelerate away and leave the animal behind. Don't kick at an animal. Keep control of your motorcycle and look to where you want to go. For larger animals (deer, elk, cattle) brake and prepare to stop - they are unpredictable. |

To cross railroad tracks, it is usually safer to __________
A. ride straight within your lane. B. take tracks head-on. C. cross tracks at a 90 degree angle. D. both B and C |
A. ride straight within your lane.
Usually it is safer to ride straight within your lane to cross tracks. Turning to take tracks head-on (at a 90� angle) can be more dangerous - your path may carry you into another lane of traffic. For track and road seams that run parallel to your course, move far enough away from tracks, ruts, or pavement seams to cross at an angle of at least 45�. Then, make a quick, sharp turn. Edging across could catch your tires and throw you off balance. |

C. make sure your front wheel is in the cross lane of travel while you're looking. D. all of the above |
A. edge forward and stop again, just short of where the cross-traffic lane meets your lane.
If you approach a blind intersection, move to the portion of the lane that will bring you into another driver's field of vision at the earliest possible moment. Remember, the key is to see as much as possible and remain visible to others while protecting your space. If you have a stop sign or stop line, stop there first. Then edge forward and stop again, just short of where the cross-traffic lane meets your lane. From that position, lean your body forward and look around buildings, parked cars, or bushes to see if anything is coming. Just make sure your front wheel stays out of the cross lane of travel while you're looking. |
