Why should you keep your toes up while riding?
- So they don't get caught between the road and the footrest
- So you can reach the rear brake lever a little more quickly
- So you can see the instrument panel clearly over your knees
- So your boots don't scrape against the hot exhaust pipe

Keep your feet on the footrests and the motorcycle as upright as possible.
If you are in doubt about who has the right-of-way, you should:
- Flash your lights and go
- Go first, firmly and quickly
- Let the other driver go first

- The fastest rider in the group
- The leader at the front
- The newest rider in the group

Watch the rider behind you in your mirror and slow down if they fall behind.
You can't avoid a patch of ice or wet wooden surface ahead. You should:
- Accelerate to get across it as quickly as you can
- Brake firmly while you're on it, to keep your speed down
- Lean the motorcycle to one side for more tire grip
- Slow down before it, then coast across without braking

If you pass the Level One road test on a limited-speed motorcycle or moped, you get:

- Only when the overhead lights are flashing
- Whenever a pedestrian is crossing in it

Drivers and cyclists must yield to pedestrians in the crossover. Pedestrians may push a button to flash the overhead yellow lights as a warning.
The purpose of a motorcycle's gears is to:
- Keep the headlight bright when riding at low speeds
- Let the brakes work properly without using the clutch
- Match the engine's speed to the motorcycle's speed
- Save fuel by switching off some cylinders on the highway
Match the engine's speed to the motorcycle's speed
The right gear also gives you power to accelerate when you need it.
