   • BResting on the fuel tank
   • CRelaxed, with the elbows slightly bent

   Holding the rider’s waist or the handholds keeps the passenger secure without pulling the rider off balance.

   • BBrake hard with both brakes
   • CAccelerate to reach a garage
   • DHold the grips firmly, ease off the throttle and keep a straight course
   Toon antwoord

    You must ride over a patch of loose gravel. What should you do?

    • ASpeed up quickly
    • BBrake hard while on the gravel

    • DSlow down before it and keep the motorcycle upright with no sudden moves
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: D. Slow down before it and keep the motorcycle upright with no sudden moves

    Gravel reduces traction. Slow before you reach it and avoid sudden braking, turning or acceleration on it.

11. Vraag 11 van 25

    How should you use the throttle through a curve?

    • AClose it fully in the middle of the curve
    • BPull in the clutch and coast
    • CKeep it steady or roll it on gently
    • DOpen it fully as you enter
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. Keep it steady or roll it on gently

    A steady or slightly increasing throttle keeps the motorcycle stable through the curve. Closing it suddenly can upset your balance.

    • AIt should snap back to the closed position by itself
    • BThe brake light should come on
    • CIt should stay where you left it
    • DThe engine should stall
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. It should snap back to the closed position by itself

    • AThe part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
    • BThe middle of the lane where oil collects
    • CThe space between two motorcycles in a group
    • DThe area where tires touch the road
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. The part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel

    As you ease out the clutch, there is a zone where the clutch begins to engage. Using it smoothly lets you start and ride slowly with control.

14. Vraag 14 van 25

    What kind of face shield should you use when riding at night?

    • AA dark tinted shield
    • BA clear, clean shield with no deep scratches
    • CA mirrored shield
    • DNo shield, so you can see better
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. A clear, clean shield with no deep scratches

    Tinted shields cut the light you need to see at night. Scratches also scatter light and blur your view.

    • ARunning shoes
    • BSandals
    • CLow dress shoes
    • DSturdy boots that cover your ankles
    Toon antwoord

    • DOnly on the highway
    Toon antwoord
