  1. You are riding and a bee flies into your helmet. The safest response is to:

    Answer: Signal, pull over safely, stop, then remove your helmet

    Pulling off the road before dealing with the distraction prevents a crash caused by erratic movements or a sting reflex.

  2. Which type of intersection crash is the most common fatal scenario for motorcyclists in the US?

    Answer: Left-turning vehicles striking oncoming motorcycles

    According to NHTSA data, the most common fatal motorcycle crash involves a left-turning vehicle that fails to yield to an oncoming motorcycle.

  3. A passenger on your motorcycle is injured in a crash. When giving a statement to police, you should:

    Answer: Provide accurate, factual information about the crash

    Accurate statements help EMS understand the mechanism of injury and assist police in correctly documenting the crash.

  4. During emergency braking on a curve, the safest technique is to:

    Answer: Straighten the bike as much as possible before applying maximum braking

    Braking traction and cornering traction compete for the same tire grip, so straightening reduces lean and allows harder braking.

  5. If you must cross a slick surface (oil, wet paint) in an emergency, you should:

    Answer: Minimize braking and steering inputs while crossing

    Any abrupt input on a slick surface drastically reduces traction; crossing smoothly with minimal input preserves what little grip exists.

  6. What information must you exchange at a crash scene with the other involved party under US law?

    Answer: Name, address, driver's license number, and insurance information

    All US states require exchange of name, address, license number, and proof of insurance after a crash involving property damage or injury.

  7. Hypothermia can impair a crash victim's ability to feel pain or assess their injuries. This means responders should:

    Answer: Assume serious injuries may be present regardless of pain reports

    Cold reduces pain sensation, so absence of reported pain in a hypothermic crash victim cannot rule out serious injury.
