    Passengers on motorcycles should: - ProProfs

    Passengers on motorcycles should:

    • Put their feet on the ground when the motorcycle is stopped.

    • Not ride without a back rest.

    • Should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you.

    Correct Answer
    A. Should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you.
    Explanation
    Motorcycle passengers should sit as far forward as possible without crowding the rider. This is important for maintaining balance and stability while riding. Sitting too far back can affect the motorcycle's handling and increase the risk of accidents. By sitting closer to the front, passengers can also help distribute their weight evenly, which is crucial for maintaining control and preventing the motorcycle from becoming top-heavy. Additionally, sitting forward allows the rider to have better visibility and maneuverability, ensuring a safer and more comfortable ride for both the passenger and the rider.

    Which of the following statements is true?

    • To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time.

    • The front brake provides 30% or more of the potential stopping power.

    • With a locked rear wheel, you cannot control the motorcycle under any circumstances.

    Correct Answer
    A. To stop quickly, apply both brakes at the same time.
    Explanation
    Applying both brakes at the same time is the correct answer because it is the most effective way to stop quickly on a motorcycle. By using both the front and rear brakes simultaneously, the stopping power is distributed evenly and allows for better control and stability. This technique is commonly known as "using both brakes" and is recommended for safe and efficient braking.

    A primary cause of single vehicle motorcycle accidents is:

    • Motorcyclists' tendency to drive too fast for weather conditions.

    • Motorcyclists running wide in a curve or turn and colliding with the roadway or a fixed object.

    • Motorcyclists running off the road while trying to avoid a collision with another vehicle.

    Correct Answer
    A. Motorcyclists running wide in a curve or turn and colliding with the roadway or a fixed object.
    Explanation
    Motorcyclists running wide in a curve or turn and colliding with the roadway or a fixed object is a primary cause of single vehicle motorcycle accidents. This occurs when motorcyclists misjudge the curve or turn, causing them to drift towards the outside of the road and collide with the pavement or an object. This can happen due to factors such as excessive speed, improper braking, or lack of experience in maneuvering the motorcycle. It is important for motorcyclists to be aware of their surroundings, adjust their speed accordingly, and take proper precautions while navigating curves or turns to prevent such accidents.

    When riding with a group of motorcyclists, a staggered formation:

    • Is recommended at all times.

    • Could not be used when entering or exiting a highway.

    • Should be used when riding on curves.

    Correct Answer
    A. Could not be used when entering or exiting a highway.
    Explanation
    Staggered formation is a recommended riding formation for motorcyclists when riding in a group. It provides better visibility and allows for more space between riders. However, when entering or exiting a highway, it may not be possible to maintain a staggered formation due to the need to merge or change lanes. In such situations, riders should switch to a single-file formation to ensure safety and avoid any potential collisions or confusion.
