What is required regarding riding after drinking or using drugs?

• A. Always ride with a spotter
• B. Wear eye protection
• C. Alcohol and drug free
• D. Ride in groups only

Answer: (C)

Riding a motorcycle requires clear thinking, good coordination, and quick reactions. Alcohol and drugs impair those abilities, slowing your reflexes, narrowing your vision, and affecting balance. Because of that, you must be alcohol- and drug-free to ride. If you’ve consumed any substance that could impair you, the safe and responsible choice is not to ride and to use alternative transportation. Eye protection and group riding are separate safety considerations, but they don’t address impairment from substances. Spotters aren’t a remedy for intoxication, and riding with friends won’t compensate for impaired abilities.
