- With the motorcycle, at the same angle

- Position 1
- Position 3
- The centre line itself
- Position 2
Show answer

Position 2 is the middle third of the lane. Riders often avoid it near intersections, where oil drips collect.
Question 4 of 25
You must stop quickly while leaning in a curve. What should you do first?
- Use only the rear brake while leaning
- Brake as hard as you can while leaning
- Straighten the motorcycle, then brake firmly
- Speed up to get out of the curve
Show answer
Answer: C. Straighten the motorcycle, then brake firmly
Hard braking while leaned over can make the tires slide. Bring the motorcycle upright first, then brake.
Question 5 of 25
What is a linked braking system?
- A brake connected to the horn
- A system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes
- A brake that works only in the rain
- A system that locks both wheels when parked
Show answer
Answer: B. A system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes
On a motorcycle with linked brakes, the front lever or the rear pedal can apply both brakes. Check your owner’s manual to learn how yours works.
Question 6 of 25
What does "covering the brakes" mean?
- Using only engine braking
- Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
- Putting a cover on the brakes when parked
- Braking hard all the time
Show answer
Answer: B. Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
Covering the brakes cuts your reaction time, because you are ready to brake at once.
Question 7 of 25
Why should a rider wear brightly coloured clothing with reflective material?
- It is required on every highway in Canada
- It keeps the rider cooler
- It makes the rider easier for other road users to see
- It reduces wind noise
Show answer
Answer: C. It makes the rider easier for other road users to see
Many crashes happen because a driver did not see the rider. Bright colours by day and reflective material at night help you stand out.
Question 8 of 25
How much of a traffic lane does a motorcycle need?
- Only the space beside the curb
- The full lane
- Only the right third
- Half the lane
Show answer
Answer: B. The full lane
A motorcycle needs the whole lane to move away from hazards. Drivers should not share a lane with a motorcycle.
Question 9 of 25
What is a common cause of crashes where a rider runs off the road in a curve?
- Looking through the curve
- Using the turn signals
- Going into the curve too fast
- Keeping a steady throttle
Show answer
Answer: C. Going into the curve too fast
Many single-motorcycle crashes happen when riders enter a curve too fast and cannot hold their line. Slow down before the curve.
Question 10 of 25
What should you check on a motorcycle with a chain drive?
- That the chain has the right slack and is lubricated
- That the chain is as tight as possible
- That the chain is dry and clean of oil
- Nothing; chains never need checking
Show answer
Answer: A. That the chain has the right slack and is lubricated
A chain that is too loose can come off, and one that is too tight can wear quickly. Follow the owner’s manual for slack and lubrication.
Question 11 of 25
You notice you are riding beside a car, in the driver’s blind spot. What should you do?
- Sound your horn and stay there
- Speed up or drop back so the driver can see you
- Move closer to the car
- Stay beside the car so you are close
Show answer
Answer: B. Speed up or drop back so the driver can see you
Do not ride where a driver cannot see you. Change your position so you are visible in their mirrors or ahead of them.
Question 12 of 25

- With a pedal under your right foot
- With a pedal under your left foot
- With a lever on the right handlebar

- The rider’s shoulders
- The rider’s waist or the passenger handholds
- The fuel tank
- Nothing; they should balance
Show answer
Answer: B. The rider’s waist or the passenger handholds
Holding the rider’s waist or the handholds keeps the passenger secure without pulling the rider off balance.
Question 14 of 25

- Keep upright, rise slightly off the seat and hold the grips firmly
- Brake hard at the moment you hit it
Show answer
Answer: C. Keep upright, rise slightly off the seat and hold the grips firmly
Hit the object as straight as you can, with the motorcycle upright. Your knees and elbows absorb the shock.
Question 15 of 25
Which path through the curve is shown in the diagram?
- Outside of the lane, then inside, then outside again
- Outside of the lane all the way
- Inside of the lane all the way
- Across the centre line and back
Show answer
Answer: A. Outside of the lane, then inside, then outside again
An outside-inside-outside path gives you a better view and a gentler line through the curve, if traffic and the road allow.
Question 16 of 25
Item 6 in the diagram shows boots. What kind of footwear should you wear when you ride?
- Running shoes
- Sandals
- Low dress shoes
- Sturdy boots that cover your ankles
Show answer
Answer: D. Sturdy boots that cover your ankles
Boots that cover the ankles protect your feet and ankles and give good grip when you stop. Saskatchewan requires ankle-covering boots for new riders.
Question 17 of 25

- Let go of the handlebars
- Brake hard with the front brake
- Speed up to stop the wobble
- Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually
Show answer
Answer: D. Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually
Do not fight the wobble or brake hard. Hold on firmly and slow down gradually.
Question 18 of 25
A driver is tailgating you. What should you do?
- Increase the space ahead of you, or change lanes to let them pass
- Speed up as fast as you can
- Brake suddenly to warn them
- Ride on the shoulder
Show answer
Answer: A. Increase the space ahead of you, or change lanes to let them pass
More space ahead gives you and the tailgater time to stop. If you can, let them go by.
Question 19 of 25
The rider in the diagram presses the right handgrip forward. Which way does the motorcycle go?
- The motorcycle leans left and turns left
- The motorcycle goes straight and slows down
- The motorcycle leans right and turns right
- The front brake comes on
Show answer
Answer: C. The motorcycle leans right and turns right
This is countersteering. Pressing the right grip forward makes the motorcycle lean and turn right.
Question 20 of 25
On a hot day, why should you still wear a jacket with long sleeves?
- It is only needed on gravel roads
- It protects your skin if you fall and shields you from wind and sun
- It is only needed in cold weather
- It makes the motorcycle faster
Show answer
Answer: B. It protects your skin if you fall and shields you from wind and sun
Riding clothing protects your skin from the road surface in a fall. It also reduces sunburn and the drying effect of the wind.
Question 21 of 25
Before you carry a passenger, what adjustments might you need to make?
- Remove the mirrors
- Lower the handlebars
- Tire pressure and suspension, as the owner’s manual says
- Remove the passenger footpegs
Show answer
Answer: C. Tire pressure and suspension, as the owner’s manual says
Check the owner’s manual. Many motorcycles need higher tire pressure or a suspension change for the extra load.
Question 22 of 25
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
Show answer
Answer: 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.
Question 23 of 25
On most motorcycles, how do you change gears?
- With a lever in front of your left foot
- With a button on the dash
- With the rear brake pedal
- With a lever on the right handlebar
Show answer
Answer: A. With a lever in front of your left foot
The gear shift lever is in front of the left footrest. You lift it or press it down with your foot.
Question 24 of 25
You are taking a cold medicine that warns about drowsiness. What should you do?
- Ride only on the highway
- Do not ride until you know it will not affect you
- Ride slowly with the hazard lights on
- Drink coffee and ride
Show answer
Answer: B. Do not ride until you know it will not affect you
Some medicines cause drowsiness or slow reactions. Read the label and ask a pharmacist before you ride.
Question 25 of 25
Which brake gives the most stopping power on most motorcycles?
- The front brake
- The rear brake
- The engine cut-off switch
- Both give the same stopping power
Show answer
Answer: A. The front brake
When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire. This gives the front brake most of the stopping power.
