   • AThe right wheel track
   • BThe centre strip, where oil and grease drip from vehicles
   • CThe left wheel track

   • ATurn off your headlight
   • BSound your horn
   • CShift into neutral
   • DCheck your mirrors for traffic behind you
   Voir la réponse

   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.

5. Question 5 sur 25

   Your front wheel locks while you brake hard in a straight line. What should you do?

   • APull in the clutch and coast
   • BRelease the front brake at once, then reapply it smoothly

   • BLean with the rider and the motorcycle
   • CLean the opposite way to balance

   A passenger who leans with the rider makes the motorcycle easier to control.

7. Question 7 sur 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
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: C. Keep it steady or roll it on gently

   A steady or slightly increasing throttle keeps the motorcycle stable through the curve. Closing it suddenly can upset your balance.

8. Question 8 sur 25

   • ANo, they apply only to car drivers
   • BYes, they apply to anyone operating a motor vehicle

   The Criminal Code impaired driving offences cover the operation of a motor vehicle, which includes a motorcycle.

9. Question 9 sur 25

   • CSo you can leave before the light turns green
   • DSo the engine does not overheat
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: 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.

    • AA motorcycle stopped at a red light
    • BA driver signalling a lane change
    • CA motorcycle parked at the curb
    • DA driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. A driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle

    Drivers turning left often fail to see an oncoming motorcycle or misjudge its speed. Be ready for it at every intersection.

11. Question 11 sur 25

    • AHeld high above the grips
    • BResting on the fuel tank
    • CRelaxed, with the elbows slightly bent
    • DLocked straight
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Relaxed, with the elbows slightly bent

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

12. Question 12 sur 25

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

    • AIt weighs less

    • CIt does not need a chin strap
    • DIt lets more air reach your face
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

13. Question 13 sur 25

    • BIt improves your focus
    • CIt only affects you at night
    • DIt has no effect if you feel fine
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. It slows your reactions and harms your judgement

    Cannabis impairs reaction time, coordination and judgement. Riding while impaired by a drug is a crime.

14. Question 14 sur 25

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

    The throttle is the twist grip on the right handlebar. Turning it toward you gives more power.

15. Question 15 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

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

16. Question 16 sur 25

    Where should you put heavy cargo on a motorcycle?

    • ALow and centred, and secured so it cannot shift
    • BHanging from the handlebars
    • COn one side only
    • DHigh on a rack behind the passenger seat
    Voir la réponse

    A load that is low, centred and secure affects handling the least.

    • BRide on the shoulder
    • CSpeed up

    Strong wind can push a motorcycle off its line. Slow down and be ready for gusts on open roads, bridges and when passing large vehicles.

18. Question 18 sur 25

    Why is alcohol especially dangerous for motorcycle riders?

    • AAlcohol improves balance
    • BMotorcycles are not covered by impaired driving laws
    • CAlcohol only affects drivers of cars
    • DRiding needs balance and coordination, which alcohol harms
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Riding needs balance and coordination, which alcohol harms

    Riding takes more balance and coordination than driving a car. Even small amounts of alcohol reduce these skills and your judgement.

19. Question 19 sur 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
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

20. Question 20 sur 25

    During your pre-ride check, how should you test the brake light?

    • AThere is no need to test it if the headlight works
    • BCheck it only with the rear pedal
    • CCheck that it flashes with the turn signals
    • DCheck that it comes on with the front lever and with the rear pedal
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Check that it comes on with the front lever and with the rear pedal

    Each brake control should turn on the brake light. Drivers behind need to see that you are slowing.

21. Question 21 sur 25

    When should you check your tire pressure?

    • AOnly once a year at a shop
    • BOnly when a tire looks flat
    • CWhen the tires are cold, before you ride
    • DRight after a long ride
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. When the tires are cold, before you ride

    Check tire pressure when the tires are cold. Warm tires give a higher reading than the true cold pressure.

22. Question 22 sur 25

    Which describes a correctly fitting motorcycle helmet?

    • ALoosely, so it is easy to take off
    • BWith the strap open at low speeds
    • CTilted back so you can see more
    • DSnugly all around, with the strap fastened
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Snugly all around, with the strap fastened

    A helmet should fit snugly and stay in place when you move your head. An unfastened helmet can come off in a crash.

    What should you look for when you inspect your tires?

    • AMud on the tire
    • BOnly the colour of the sidewall
    • COnly whether the valve cap is present
    • DCuts, bulges, objects stuck in the tread and worn tread
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Cuts, bulges, objects stuck in the tread and worn tread

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

24. Question 24 sur 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
    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.

25. Question 25 sur 25

    A large animal such as a moose is on the road ahead. What is usually safest?

    • ASlow down and be ready to stop
    • BSound the horn and ride toward it
    • CRide onto the shoulder at speed
    • DSpeed up to pass it quickly
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Slow down and be ready to stop

    Large animals are unpredictable. Slowing down and preparing to stop gives you the best chance to avoid them.
