Question 1 sur 25
When you swerve to avoid an obstacle, what should you avoid?
- Pressing the handgrip
- Keeping your knees against the tank
- Looking where you want to go
- Braking during the swerve

Brake before or after a swerve, never during it. Braking while swerving can make the tires lose grip.

- Only when you carry a passenger in town
- On wet or slippery roads, at night and behind large vehicles
Voir la réponse
Réponse: 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.

Where should the least experienced riders be in a group?
- Just behind the leader
- Spread out at random
- In front of the leader

Placing new riders near the front lets the leader watch them and set a pace they can handle.

- Lower the handlebars
- Tire pressure and suspension, as the owner’s manual says
- Remove the passenger footpegs

Check the owner’s manual. Many motorcycles need higher tire pressure or a suspension change for the extra load.
Question 7 sur 25

- Slow down and be ready to stop
- Sound the horn and ride toward it
- Ride onto the shoulder at speed
- Speed up to pass it quickly

Large animals are unpredictable. Slowing down and preparing to stop gives you the best chance to avoid them.
Question 8 sur 25
What does "covering the brakes" mean?

- 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

Covering the brakes cuts your reaction time, because you are ready to brake at once.
Question 9 sur 25
For a slow, tight turn, such as in a parking lot, what should you do with your body?
- Lean your body further than the motorcycle
- Keep your body upright while the motorcycle leans
- Put both feet on the ground

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

- Check it only with the rear pedal
- Check that it flashes with the turn signals
- Check that it comes on with the front lever and with the rear pedal

- Hanging down near the road
- On the ground at low speeds
- Resting on the engine guard
- 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.
Question 20 sur 25

- Assume they always see you
- 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.
Question 21 sur 25
You must ride over a patch of loose gravel. What should you do?
- Speed up quickly
- Brake hard while on the gravel
- Lean sharply to ride around it
- Slow down before it and keep the motorcycle upright with no sudden moves
Voir la réponse

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

- Outside of the lane all the way
- Inside of the lane all the way

An outside-inside-outside path gives you a better view and a gentler line through the curve, if traffic and the road allow.
Question 23 sur 25
Marker 3 in the diagram shows where the passenger’s hands go. What should they hold?
- The rider’s shoulders
- The rider’s waist or the passenger handholds
- The fuel tank
- Nothing; they should balance
Voir la réponse
Réponse: 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.

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

- It keeps the rider cooler
- It makes the rider easier for other road users to see
