  1. A rider spaces alcoholic drinks an hour apart and plans to ride home. What is wrong with treating that schedule as proof of safety?

    Correct answer: Alcohol and impaired abilities may remain despite that schedule.

    Alcohol effects vary, and a simple hourly rule does not establish that the rider is unimpaired. Do not turn drink counts or elapsed time into a guaranteed safe-to-ride calculation.

  2. A friend who has been drinking insists on riding away. What is the appropriate response?

    Correct answer: Help arrange a safe ride and enlist others to support that plan.

    Help keep an impaired person off the motorcycle. Support from other people can make arranging safe transport easier; following behind does not restore the rider’s abilities.

  3. You have started a new prescription medicine and do not know how it affects you. When should you ride?

    Correct answer: Wait until its effects on safe vehicle operation are understood.

    NHTSA advises against driving until you know a new medicine’s effect on judgment, coordination and reaction time. Follow its warnings; do not use a traffic ride as the test.

  4. A medicine warns against operating heavy machinery. Does that warning include riding a motorcycle?

    Correct answer: Yes; the warning also applies to operating a motor vehicle.

    NHTSA explains that heavy-machinery warnings include vehicle operation. Do not dismiss a warning because the motorcycle is small or the trip is familiar.
