. What does it mean to have a good lane choice? - ANSYou do not have to
change lanes a lot and can see ahead while being visible to others
After learning to ride, why is safety more about mental skills than physical

hands and feet
Are ordinary glasses or sunglasses alone sufficient eye protection? -
ANSNo (they may not seal out wind and dust)
Define hypothermia. - ANSLower than normal body temperature
,How are the 4-second urgent time/distance and total stopping distance
related? - ANSWith good braking skills, you can generally stop within the
distance you would have traveled in 4-5 seconds
How are the two brake controls operated? - ANSFront brake lever is
squeezed in to operate; the amount of squeeze must be adjusted for
effective braking.
Rear brake pedal is pressed down to operate it
How can a crowned road affect riding? - ANSGround clearance might be
less than on a flat road
How can drinking alcohol and riding a motorcycle both be enjoyed? -
ANSSeparate drinking from riding
How can motorcycle riding gear make you more visible? - ANSWear bright
