Now that spring has arrived, people in the valley may start jumping onto their motorcycles and hitting the open road. The beautiful weather and the increasing amount of daylight are both prime conditions for motorcycle riding in and around Las Vegas.
In order to promote safety and reduce the chances of motorcycle accidents, we’ve come up with a little motorcycle safety quiz. Here are the first four questions; the next four will be revealed next week (so you have more time to study).
Good luck!
A motorcycle passenger is allowed to ride:
- behind the driver on a permanent or regular seat that is designed for two persons;

- all of the above except D. and E.
What is the maximum height of a motorcycle’s handlebars?
- The uppermost portion of the driver’s shoulders when the driver sits on the seat
- As long as the driver can touch the handlebars with one pinky finger, they’re okay
