Frage 1 von 20
How should you cross railway tracks that run across the road at an angle?
- While leaning as far as possible
- As close to a right angle to the tracks as you safely can
- Parallel to the tracks
- While braking hard

Antwort: B. As close to a right angle to the tracks as you safely can
Crossing at a sharp angle can catch your front wheel in the gap beside the rail. Cross as close to straight across as is safe.
Frage 2 von 20
What is the "friction zone"?
- The part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
- The middle of the lane where oil collects
- The space between two motorcycles in a group
- The area where tires touch the road
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. The part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
As you ease out the clutch, there is a zone where the clutch begins to engage. Using it smoothly lets you start and ride slowly with control.

- Cover the scratches with paint
- Replace it, because it may be damaged inside
- Use it only for short trips
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Replace it, because it may be damaged inside
A hard impact can damage the protective lining even when the outside looks fine. Replace a helmet after a hard hit.

Which surfaces are especially slippery for a motorcycle when wet?
- Clean, dry asphalt
- Painted lines, metal covers and steel plates
- Grass beside the road
- Rough concrete
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. Painted lines, metal covers and steel plates
Paint and metal give much less grip when wet. Try to cross them upright, with no hard braking.
Frage 6 von 20
Where should the least experienced riders be in a group?
- Just behind the leader
- Spread out at random
- In front of the leader
- At the very back
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. Just behind the leader
Placing new riders near the front lets the leader watch them and set a pace they can handle.
Frage 7 von 20
Under normal riding conditions, how should you brake?
- Use the front and rear brakes at the same time
- Use only the rear brake
- Use only the front brake
- Downshift without braking
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. Use the front and rear brakes at the same time
Under normal conditions, use both brakes together. This gives the most control and the shortest stop.
Frage 8 von 20
Marker 4 in the diagram shows the passenger’s feet. When should they keep them on the passenger footpegs?
- At all times, even when the motorcycle is stopped
- Only in turns
- Only when the rider asks
- Only on the highway
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. At all times, even when the motorcycle is stopped
The passenger keeps their feet on the footpegs at all times. The rider supports the motorcycle when it stops.
Frage 9 von 20
Item 1 in the diagram is a full-face helmet. Why does it protect more than an open-face helmet?
- It weighs less
- It also covers your chin and face
- It does not need a chin strap
- It lets more air reach your face
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. It also covers your chin and face
A full-face helmet protects your face and chin as well as your head. Many crashes involve an impact to the chin area.
Frage 10 von 20
If you ride regularly, how often should you check your tire pressure?
- Once a season
- Once a year
- Only before long trips
- At least once a week
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. At least once a week
Motorcycle tires can lose air without looking low. Check the pressure when the tires are cold and at least weekly if you ride often.
Frage 11 von 20
Marker 1 in the diagram shows the rider’s head. What should your head do in a turn?
- Tilt with the motorcycle
- Turn to watch the mirrors
- Stay level, with your eyes in line with the horizon
- Look down at the road just ahead
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: C. Stay level, with your eyes in line with the horizon
Keeping your head level and your eyes on the horizon helps your balance and lets you judge the turn.
Frage 12 von 20
Your throttle sticks open. What can you use to cut engine power quickly?
- The turn signal switch
- The engine cut-off switch
- The horn button
- The choke
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: B. The engine cut-off switch
The engine cut-off switch, usually near your right thumb, stops the engine. Pulling in the clutch at the same time keeps the engine from driving the rear wheel.
Frage 13 von 20
Why start a curve near the outside of your lane, as in the diagram?
- To see farther through the curve
- To make the curve sharper
- To stay in the oil strip
- To get closer to oncoming traffic
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. To see farther through the curve
Starting on the outside lets you see farther around the curve. Never cross into the oncoming lane.
Frage 14 von 20
How does carrying a passenger change the way a motorcycle handles?
- It takes longer to speed up, slow down and turn
- It turns more sharply
- It stops more quickly
- It makes no difference
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. It takes longer to speed up, slow down and turn
The extra weight affects acceleration, braking and steering. Leave more space and brake earlier.
Frage 15 von 20
During your pre-ride check, you twist the throttle and let go. What should happen?
- It should snap back to the closed position by itself
- The brake light should come on
- It should stay where you left it
- The engine should stall
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. It should snap back to the closed position by itself
A throttle that does not close by itself is dangerous. Have it fixed before you ride.
Frage 16 von 20
How far ahead should you scan when you ride?
- At least 12 seconds ahead
- Only at the front wheel
- Only as far as the vehicle in front
- About 2 seconds ahead
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: A. At least 12 seconds ahead
Look at least 12 seconds ahead. In the city that is about one to two blocks; on the highway it is about half a kilometre.
Frage 17 von 20
When should a group riding in a staggered formation switch to single file?
- Only at night
- Never
- Only in heavy rain
- In curves, when turning and when entering or leaving a highway
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. In curves, when turning and when entering or leaving a highway
Single file gives every rider room to use the whole lane in curves and while turning or merging.
Frage 18 von 20
How does cannabis affect your riding?
- It slows your reactions and harms your judgement
- It improves your focus
- It only affects you at night
- It has no effect if you feel fine

Cannabis impairs reaction time, coordination and judgement. Riding while impaired by a drug is a crime.
Frage 19 von 20
Before you slow down or stop, what should you do?
- Turn off your headlight
- Sound your horn
- Shift into neutral
- Check your mirrors for traffic behind you
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. Check your mirrors for traffic behind you
A driver behind may not expect you to slow down. Checking your mirrors tells you if you need to warn them or leave more room.
Frage 20 von 20
Where should you keep your feet while riding?
- Hanging down near the road
- On the ground at low speeds
- Resting on the engine guard
- Firmly on the footrests, with toes pointing forward
Antwort anzeigen
Antwort: D. Firmly on the footrests, with toes pointing forward
Keep your feet on the footrests so you are balanced and can reach the shift lever and rear brake. Toes pointing down can catch on the road.
