On a standard two-wheeled motorcycle on a Vermont highway, who must wear a helmet that meets federal safety standards?
- A Only riders under age 18
- B Only riders with a learner permit
- C Only the operator; passengers may choose whether to wear one
- D Every operator and passenger on a motorcycle on a highway
Show answer
D. Every operator and passenger on a motorcycle on a highway
Vermont's helmet law covers everyone: no one may operate or ride upon a motorcycle on a highway without properly wearing headgear that meets federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Passengers are covered too. The only exception is for occupants of fully enclosed autocycles.
Why are moose especially hard to see at night on Vermont roads?
- A Their light-colored fur blends in with the roadside
- B Their eyes reflect so much headlight glare that riders are briefly blinded
- C Their fur is dark and their eyes are usually above headlight level
- D They are active only around midday
Show answer
C. Their fur is dark and their eyes are usually above headlight level
Moose are harder to see than deer because their fur is dark and their eyes are usually above headlight level, so they do not reflect the light. Deer are easier to spot because their eyes reflect headlights. For large animals, brake and prepare to stop.
How often should you do a T-CLOCS pre-ride inspection?

- C Once a year at inspection
- D Before every ride
Show answer
D. Before every ride
A T-CLOCS inspection (Tires and wheels, Controls, Lights and electrics, Oil and fluids, Chassis, Stands) should be done before every ride. It takes only a few minutes and catches problems before you are in traffic.
