5. Your criminal DUI charge is dismissed in court. What happens to the DMV's administrative revocation?

6. How does riding a motorcycle compare with driving a car in terms of fatigue?
Correct answer: Riding is much more tiring, so you'll tire sooner on a long trip

10. Which everyday medicines does the manual warn can affect your riding?
Correct answer: Over-the-counter cold tablets and allergy pills

11. For someone who rides long distances often, which piece of equipment does the manual say is worth its cost?
