2. Pregunta 2 de 25

   How should you use the throttle through a curve?

   • AClose it fully in the middle of the curve
   • BPull in the clutch and coast
   • CKeep it steady or roll it on gently
   • DOpen it fully as you enter

   • D100 mg or more in 100 mL of blood
   Ver respuesta

   Respuesta: B. 80 mg or more of alcohol in 100 mL of blood

   It is a criminal offence to have a blood alcohol concentration of 80 mg or more in 100 mL of blood. Many provinces set lower limits, and new riders often must have zero.

5. Pregunta 5 de 25

   • AUse the front and rear brakes at the same time
   • BUse only the rear brake
   • CUse only the front brake
   • DDownshift without braking

   Under normal conditions, use both brakes together. This gives the most control and the shortest stop.

6. Pregunta 6 de 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
   Ver respuesta

   Respuesta: 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.

7. Pregunta 7 de 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
   Ver respuesta

   Respuesta: 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.

   Approved helmets carry a label from a safety standard, such as DOT, Snell or ECE. Colour and price do not show that a helmet is safe.

9. Pregunta 9 de 25

   Which brake gives the most stopping power on most motorcycles?

   • AThe front brake
   • BThe rear brake
   • CThe engine cut-off switch
   • DBoth give the same stopping power
   Ver respuesta

   Respuesta: A. The front brake

   When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire. This gives the front brake most of the stopping power.

10. Pregunta 10 de 25

    What kind of face shield should you use when riding at night?

    • AA dark tinted shield
    • BA clear, clean shield with no deep scratches
    • CA mirrored shield
    • DNo shield, so you can see better
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: B. A clear, clean shield with no deep scratches

    Tinted shields cut the light you need to see at night. Scratches also scatter light and blur your view.

11. Pregunta 11 de 25

    • AJust behind the leader
    • BSpread out at random
    • CIn front of the leader
    • DAt the very back

    • ATime
    • BCoffee
    • CFresh air while riding

    • BA system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes
    • CA brake that works only in the rain
    • DA system that locks both wheels when parked
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: 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.

    • COnly whether the valve cap is present
    • DCuts, bulges, objects stuck in the tread and worn tread
    Ver respuesta

    Damage or wear can cause a sudden loss of air or grip. Check tread and sidewalls before you ride.

17. Pregunta 17 de 25

    Why should you check the side stand before you ride?

    • AIt holds your helmet while riding
    • BIt is needed to start the engine
    • CIf it does not stay up, it can dig into the road in a left lean
    • DIt helps you brake
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: C. If it does not stay up, it can dig into the road in a left lean

    A side stand that drops while you ride can catch on the road surface in a turn and cause a crash. Make sure the spring holds it up.

18. Pregunta 18 de 25

    When is the best time to slow down for a curve?

    • AIn the middle of the curve
    • BAs you leave the curve
    • CThere is no need to slow for a curve
    • DBefore you enter it, while the motorcycle is upright
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: D. Before you enter it, while the motorcycle is upright

    Brakes work best when the motorcycle is upright. Slow down before the curve so you can keep a steady throttle through it.

19. Pregunta 19 de 25

    At what point should you set your mirrors?

    • AMirrors on motorcycles are not adjustable
    • BWhile riding on the highway
    • COnly after you start to turn
    • DBefore you ride, while sitting on the motorcycle
    Ver respuesta

    • AThe right grip
    • BThe left grip
    • CBoth grips at once
    • DNeither grip; you shift your weight only
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: B. The left grip

    At speed, press the grip on the side you want to go. Press left to lean and go left.

21. Pregunta 21 de 25

    • BYou are exposed to wind, noise and weather
    • CMotorcycles have no seats
    • DYou cannot stop for breaks
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: B. You are exposed to wind, noise and weather

    Wind, noise, cold and heat wear you down. Take regular breaks and dress for the weather.

    • APressing the handgrip
    • BKeeping your knees against the tank
    • CLooking where you want to go
    • DBraking during the swerve
    Ver respuesta

    • DIt keeps the wheels from locking when you brake hard
    Ver respuesta

    Respuesta: D. It keeps the wheels from locking when you brake hard

    ABS stops the wheels from locking so you can keep steering control. You still need space to stop.
