1. What are important factors in defensive driving?
8.3 Driver's Handbook
- Skill
- Attitude
- Luck
- Both A and B
2. My new Honda Rebel has a small seat that fits the rider, but I did not purchase the optional passenger seat that mounts to the rear fender. Can I carry someone on this rear fender? It is obviously strong enough.
8.3 Driver's Handbook
- Yes
- No
3. Your pre-start routine should include F.I.N.E.CC. What does this stand for?
8.3 Driver's Handbook
- Fuel Level, Ignition Switch, Neutral, Electric Fuel Pump, Choke and Clutch
- Fuel Level and Valve, Ignition Switch, No one is looking, Electric Fuel Pump, Choke and Clutch
- Fuel Level and Valve, Ignition Switch, Neutral, Engine Cut-off Switch, Choke and Clutch
- Fuel Level, iPhone, Neutral, Electric Fuel Pump, Control Check
4. Why is a flat wrist important when riding a motorcycle? Specifically, your right hand.
8.5 Driver's Handbook
- With a twisted wrist (not flat), it is difficult for your fingers to reach for and apply the front brake
- Unwanted throttle input could shift your upper body rearward, which would result in unwanted additional throttle input resulting in complete loss of control.
- Pure vanity! “We ride like the guys do in “Sons of Anarchy”. None of them ride with twisted wrists and those guys are cool.”
- Both A and B - Correct
5. Why is the front brake of a motorcycle the most important? If it is, why do a lot of people say that using the front brake effectively is one of the most important skills to learn?
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- I do not agree. I used it once and I flipped over the handlebars.
- The front brake provides about 70 per cent of the total braking force under normal road conditions because the weight shifts forward during braking.
- We need the front wheel for steering; therefore, we should just use the rear brake.
- Some motorcycles only come with a rear brake.
6. When traveling at exactly 9km/h, which brake should I use? (If you take your training with AMS, we approach this a bit differently. More info on this in class)
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- Front Brake Only
- Rear Brake Only
- Both Brakes
- Just drag a foot, you are only going 9km/h
7. Why should you downshift as you slow down?
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- It allows you to rev the engine higher to be heard by all surrounding vehicles, also elevating your status as a rider.
- You should not downshift. You can do all your shifting just before you need to take off again.
- Because if you bike is not warmed up, it might stall. Keeping the RPMs up keeps the engine running.
- So you will have power available if needed. This also allows you to use the engine compression as a brake.
8. It is preferable when stopped in traffic to have the transmission shifted into neutral? (At AMS, we disagree with this practice, we mention this in class)
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- Yes
- No
9. Why is it a good idea to NOT ride with the brakes partially applied? (Choose the MOST CORRECT answer)
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- There is nothing wrong with riding the brakes if you have enough power in the engine to compensate.
- It turns on your brake lights. This is confusing to other drivers and causes unnecessary wear on your brakes.
- The increase in heat to your brake pads and rotors produces off-gassing that decreases braking performance.
- Brakes are expensive
10. Leave very little distance between you and the vehicle ahead when you come to a stop at a traffic light. When you stop close to the vehicle in front, you are more visible to vehicles coming up behind you.
8.6 Driver's Handbook
- True
- False
