- Held high above the grips
- Resting on the fuel tank
- Relaxed, with the elbows slightly bent

- Use only the rear brake
- Use only the front brake

- To see farther through the curve
- To make the curve sharper
- To stay in the oil strip
- To get closer to oncoming traffic

Starting on the outside lets you see farther around the curve. Never cross into the oncoming lane.

- Turn off your headlight
- Sound your horn
- Shift into neutral
- Check your mirrors for traffic behind you

A driver behind may not expect you to slow down. Checking your mirrors tells you if you need to warn them or leave more room.
Pregunta 12 de 25
Your throttle sticks open. What can you use to cut engine power quickly?
- The turn signal switch
- The engine cut-off switch
- The horn button
- The choke
Ver respuesta

The engine cut-off switch, usually near your right thumb, stops the engine. Pulling in the clutch at the same time keeps the engine from driving the rear wheel.

Full-fingered riding gloves protect your hands in a fall and give a better grip. Saskatchewan, for example, requires finger-covering gloves for riders in its graduated program.

- While leaning as far as possible
- As close to a right angle to the tracks as you safely can

- It warms the engine
- It makes you easier for other road users to see

- Only when a tire looks flat
- When the tires are cold, before you ride
- Right after a long ride
