   • D100 mg or more in 100 mL of blood
   Voir la réponse

   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.

2. Question 2 sur 25

   Which path through the curve is shown in the diagram?

   • AOutside of the lane, then inside, then outside again
   • BOutside of the lane all the way
   • CInside of the lane all the way
   • DAcross the centre line and back
   Voir la réponse

   An outside-inside-outside path gives you a better view and a gentler line through the curve, if traffic and the road allow.

3. Question 3 sur 25

   Where should the least experienced riders be in a group?

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

   • AOnce a season
   • BOnce a year
   • COnly before long trips
   • DAt 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.

5. Question 5 sur 25

   • BUse hand signals only
   • CLeave it on until you stop
   • DNever use the turn signals

   A signal left on can make a driver think you are about to turn and pull out in front of you.

7. Question 7 sur 25

   When you swerve to avoid an obstacle, what should you avoid?

   • APressing the handgrip
   • BKeeping your knees against the tank

   • DNothing; chains never need checking
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: 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.

9. Question 9 sur 25

   • COn the shoulder
   • DIn the centre of the lane

    • DSpeed up to get out of the curve
    Voir la réponse

    • AWhen the rain has stopped and the road is dry
    • BOnly when the rain is heavy
    • CJust after it starts to rain
    • DAfter several hours of steady rain
    Voir la réponse

    • ATo see farther through the curve
    • BTo make the curve sharper
    • CTo stay in the oil strip
    • DTo get closer to oncoming traffic
    Voir la réponse

    • AIt takes longer to speed up, slow down and turn
    • BIt turns more sharply
    • CIt stops more quickly
    • DIt makes no difference
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

    • AStraight up while the motorcycle stays upright
    • BOpposite to the motorcycle
    • CForward onto the fuel tank
    • DWith the motorcycle, at the same angle

    • DRemove the passenger footpegs
    Voir la réponse

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

    • AThe right hand
    • BThe left hand
    • CEither hand
    • DNeither hand; it is a foot pedal

    • BSound your horn
    • CShift into neutral
    • DCheck your mirrors for traffic behind you
