The seat is comfortable even though the brake cannot be reached.Only the tips of the toes reach while the controls require stretching.The machine is heavy enough that the rider cannot steady it.Feet can reach the ground and controls are easy to operate.
2. Before riding at night, you discover that only one headlight beam works. What is the safest next step?
Plan to use whichever beam still works in every situation.Use another vehicle’s lamps instead of repairing your own.Ride closer behind a car so its lights cover the missing beam.Have the fault corrected before the ride.
