A friend has been drinking and wants to ride home, saying a short trip will be harmless. What is the best response?

Correct answer: Help arrange a safe ride home that does not require the friend to operate the motorcycle.

Help prevent an impaired person from riding. Arrange another way home and enlist others' help if needed; a shorter route or feeling more awake does not remove impairment.

You are preoccupied by an upsetting argument before a ride. What is the sound decision if it is preventing you from focusing?

Correct answer: Wait until you can give riding your full attention.

Emotions and mental distractions can interfere with judgment and attention. Set them aside before riding or delay the trip until you can concentrate on the task.

A long ride in hot weather is making you thirsty and less comfortable. What should your plan include?

Correct answer: Drink water and take cooling breaks instead of waiting until heat impairs you.

The manual recommends water and frequent stops in hot weather. Manage heat before it compromises attention and physical control, while retaining suitable protective clothing.
