MOTORCYCLE SAFETY QUIZ
1. Motorcycles have less traction than cars.
a. True
b. False
Answer:1. Motorcycles have less traction than cars.
a. True. Most motorcycles have half as many tires touching the road and therefore lack the traction and stability of a car.
2. Because motorcycles are smaller than cars,
a. They are harder to see in traffic.
b. It’s harder to judge how fast they are going.
c. Riders have many lane positions to choose from.
d. All of the above.
Answer: 2. Because motorcycles are smaller than cars, d. all of the above.
It’s easy for riders to be hidden by other vehi-cles and more difficult for motorists to judge their speed. To see and be seen, riders
use the left, center and right part of their lane.
3. Motorcycles:
a. Are dangerous.
b. Cost less to drive than cars.
c. Can stop faster than cars.
d. Are fairly easy to ride.
Answer: 3. Motorcycles:
a. are dangerous. Wrong.
While riding a motorcycle carries a higher risk than driving a car, a motorcycle in itself is not necessarily dangerous.
b. cost less to drive than cars. True.
While some bikes are quite expensive, many aren’t. Insurance generally costs less, they get great gas mileage and finding
parking in the city is much easier.
c. can stop faster than cars. False.
Skilled motorcy-clists can generally stop more quickly than car drivers, but not always. Anti-lock brakes on many cars
make motorcycles and cars more equal.
d. are fairly easy to ride. False.
Motorcyclists have to balance the bike, use both hands, both feet and both thumbs to operate the bike. It’s also difficult for
riders to swerve and stop quickly without proper training.
