   A hard impact can damage the protective lining even when the outside looks fine. Replace a helmet after a hard hit.

    How should you cross railway tracks that run across the road at an angle?

    • AWhile leaning as far as possible
    • BAs close to a right angle to the tracks as you safely can
    • CParallel to the tracks
    • DWhile braking hard
    Voir la réponse

    Crossing at a sharp angle can catch your front wheel in the gap beside the rail. Cross as close to straight across as is safe.

    • CRelaxed, with the elbows slightly bent
    • DLocked straight
    Voir la réponse

    Relaxed arms let you steer smoothly. Stiff, locked arms make it harder to control the motorcycle, especially over bumps.

    • AWith a lever in front of your left foot
    • BWith a button on the dash

    • CWith a lever on the left handlebar
    • DWith a pedal under your left foot

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

    Marker 3 in the diagram shows where the passenger’s hands go. What should they hold?

    • AThe rider’s shoulders
    • BThe rider’s waist or the passenger handholds
    • CThe fuel tank
    • DNothing; 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.

23. Question 23 sur 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
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

24. Question 24 sur 25

    What does an anti-lock braking system (ABS) do?

    • AIt turns on the brake light at night
    • BIt brakes for you automatically
    • CIt makes the stopping distance zero
    • DIt keeps the wheels from locking when you brake hard
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

    • 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.
