   Marker 1 in the diagram shows the rider’s head. What should your head do in a turn?

   • ATilt with the motorcycle
   • BTurn to watch the mirrors
   • CStay level, with your eyes in line with the horizon
   • DLook down at the road just ahead
   Show answer

   Answer: 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.

2. Question 2 of 25

   You are riding past a row of parked cars on your right. Which lane position is usually best?

   • AThe right portion, close to the parked cars
   • BBetween the parked cars and the curb
   • CThe left portion of the lane, away from the parked cars
   • DRight on the lane line
   Show answer

   Answer: C. The left portion of the lane, away from the parked cars

   Staying away from parked cars gives you more time if a door opens or a car pulls out.

3. Question 3 of 25

   A driver ahead looks like they may pull out of a driveway. What can you do to warn them?

   • AGive a quick tap on the horn and be ready to stop
   • BWave your arm
   • CRev the engine loudly
   • DFlash your brake light
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Give a quick tap on the horn and be ready to stop

   A short beep can alert a driver who has not seen you. Slow down and be ready in case they still pull out.

4. Question 4 of 25

   You must stop quickly while leaning in a curve. What should you do first?

   • AUse only the rear brake while leaning
   • BBrake as hard as you can while leaning
   • CStraighten the motorcycle, then brake firmly
   • DSpeed 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.

5. Question 5 of 25

   When should you leave more than the minimum following distance?

   • AOnly on dry, sunny days
   • BNever; two seconds is always enough
   • COnly when you carry a passenger in town
   • DOn wet or slippery roads, at night and behind large vehicles
   Show answer

   Answer: D. On wet or slippery roads, at night and behind large vehicles

   You need more time and space when traction is poor, when it is hard to see, and when a large vehicle blocks your view.

6. Question 6 of 25

   You cannot avoid a small object in the road. How should you ride over it?

   • ALean hard to one side as you hit it
   • BClose your eyes and keep your feet down
   • CKeep upright, rise slightly off the seat and hold the grips firmly
   • DBrake 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.

7. Question 7 of 25

   Does a windshield on your motorcycle take the place of a face shield or goggles?

   • AOnly when it is raining
   • BOnly on the highway
   • CNo, wind, rain, dust and insects can still reach your eyes
   • DYes, a windshield replaces eye protection
   Show answer

   Answer: C. No, wind, rain, dust and insects can still reach your eyes

   A windshield does not protect your eyes the way a face shield or goggles do. Wear eye protection on every ride.

8. Question 8 of 25

   The front wheel starts to wobble at speed. What should you do?

   • ALet go of the handlebars
   • BBrake hard with the front brake
   • CSpeed up to stop the wobble
   • DGrip 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.

9. Question 9 of 25

   Item 1 in the diagram is a full-face helmet. Why does it protect more than an open-face helmet?

   • AIt weighs less
   • BIt also covers your chin and face
   • CIt does not need a chin strap
   • DIt lets more air reach your face
   Show answer

   Answer: 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.

10. Question 10 of 25

    On most motorcycles, how is the rear brake applied?

    • ABy rolling off the throttle
    • BWith a pedal under your right foot
    • CWith a lever on the left handlebar
    • DWith a pedal under your left foot
    Show answer

    Answer: B. With a pedal under your right foot

    Most motorcycles use a right foot pedal for the rear brake. Some motorcycles and scooters use hand levers instead.

11. Question 11 of 25

    Before you slow down or stop, what should you do?

    • ATurn off your headlight
    • BSound your horn
    • CShift into neutral
    • DCheck your mirrors for traffic behind you
    Show answer

    Answer: 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.

12. Question 12 of 25

    How far ahead should you scan when you ride?

    • AAt least 12 seconds ahead
    • BOnly at the front wheel
    • COnly as far as the vehicle in front
    • DAbout 2 seconds ahead
    Show answer

    Answer: 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.

13. Question 13 of 25

    Your throttle sticks open. What can you use to cut engine power quickly?

    • AThe turn signal switch
    • BThe engine cut-off switch
    • CThe horn button
    • DThe choke
    Show answer

    Answer: 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.

14. Question 14 of 25

    What should you check on a motorcycle with a chain drive?

    • AThat the chain has the right slack and is lubricated
    • BThat the chain is as tight as possible
    • CThat the chain is dry and clean of oil
    • DNothing; 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.

15. Question 15 of 25

    For a slow, tight turn, such as in a parking lot, what should you do with your body?

    • ALean your body further than the motorcycle
    • BKeep your body upright while the motorcycle leans
    • CPut both feet on the ground
    • DLean your body the opposite way to the turn and look down
    Show answer

    Answer: B. Keep your body upright while the motorcycle leans

    In slow, tight turns, keep your body upright and let the motorcycle lean. Turn your head and look where you want to go.

16. Question 16 of 25

    What is a safe way to think about other drivers?

    • AAssume they will always give you the right-of-way
    • BAssume they always see you
    • CAssume they may not see you, and ride so you are seen with room to escape
    • DAssume large vehicles always watch for motorcycles
    Show answer

    Answer: C. Assume they may not see you, and ride so you are seen with room to escape

    Drivers often miss motorcycles. Ride defensively: be visible, keep space and plan an escape route.

17. Question 17 of 25

    Your helmet hits the pavement hard when it falls off your seat. What should you do?

    • AKeep using it if you see no cracks
    • BCover the scratches with paint
    • CReplace it, because it may be damaged inside
    • DUse it only for short trips
    Show answer

    Answer: 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.

18. Question 18 of 25

    On a hot day, why should you still wear a jacket with long sleeves?

    • AIt is only needed on gravel roads
    • BIt protects your skin if you fall and shields you from wind and sun
    • CIt is only needed in cold weather
    • DIt 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.

19. Question 19 of 25

    Why should you downshift as you slow down?

    • ASo the clutch is not needed
    • BSo you can turn off the engine
    • CSo the brake light comes on
    • DSo you are in a gear that lets you speed up again if you need to
    Show answer

    Answer: D. So you are in a gear that lets you speed up again if you need to

    Being in the right gear lets you speed up quickly to avoid a hazard. When you stop, be in first gear, ready to move.

20. Question 20 of 25

    You must ride over a patch of loose gravel. What should you do?

    • ASpeed up quickly
    • BBrake hard while on the gravel
    • CLean sharply to ride around it
    • DSlow down before it and keep the motorcycle upright with no sudden moves
    Show answer

    Answer: D. Slow down before it and keep the motorcycle upright with no sudden moves

    Gravel reduces traction. Slow before you reach it and avoid sudden braking, turning or acceleration on it.

21. Question 21 of 25

    How is the front brake usually applied?

    • AWith a pedal under your right foot
    • BWith a pedal under your left foot
    • CWith a lever on the right handlebar
    • DWith a lever on the left handlebar
    Show answer

    Answer: C. With a lever on the right handlebar

    The front brake lever is on the right handlebar, in front of the throttle. The rear brake is usually a pedal under your right foot.

22. Question 22 of 25

    What is the "friction zone"?

    • AThe part of the clutch lever travel where power starts to reach the rear wheel
    • BThe middle of the lane where oil collects
    • CThe space between two motorcycles in a group
    • DThe area where tires touch the road
    Show answer

    Answer: 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.

23. Question 23 of 25

    You are stopped at a red light with traffic coming up behind you. Why stay in first gear and watch your mirrors?

    • ASo your headlight stays on
    • BSo you can move out of the way if a vehicle behind does not stop
    • CSo you can leave before the light turns green
    • DSo the engine does not overheat
    Show answer

    Answer: B. So you can move out of the way if a vehicle behind does not stop

    Riders are at risk of being hit from behind while stopped. Being in gear lets you move quickly to safety.

24. Question 24 of 25

    What is the only way to bring your blood alcohol level down?

    • ATime
    • BCoffee
    • CFresh air while riding
    • DA cold shower
    Show answer

    Answer: A. Time

    Your body removes alcohol slowly. Coffee, cold water or exercise do not speed it up.

25. Question 25 of 25

    What does "covering the brakes" mean?

    • AUsing only engine braking
    • BHaving your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
    • CPutting a cover on the brakes when parked
    • DBraking 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.
