   • ALean the motorcycle to the side of the flat
   • BBrake hard with both brakes
   • CAccelerate to reach a garage

   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
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: 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.

4. Question 4 sur 25

   If you ride regularly, how often should you check your tire pressure?

   • AOnce a season
   • BOnce a year
   • COnly before long trips
   • DAt least once a week
   Voir la réponse

   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

   You are riding at speed and want to turn left. Using countersteering, which grip do you press forward?

   • AThe right grip
   • BThe left grip
   • CBoth grips at once
   • DNeither grip; you shift your weight only
   Voir la réponse

   • B80 mg or more of alcohol in 100 mL of blood
   • C50 mg or more in 100 mL of blood
   • D100 mg or more in 100 mL of blood
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: 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.

7. Question 7 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.

   • AOnly when it is raining
   • BOnly on the highway
   • CNo, wind, rain, dust and insects can still reach your eyes
   • DYes, a windshield replaces eye protection
   Voir la réponse

   Réponse: C. No, wind, rain, dust and insects can still reach your eyes

   A windshield does not protect your eyes the way a face shield or goggles do. Wear eye protection on every ride.

9. Question 9 sur 25

   How should your arms be positioned when you ride?

   • 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.

10. Question 10 sur 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
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

11. Question 11 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.

12. Question 12 sur 25

    Why should a rider wear brightly coloured clothing with reflective material?

    • AIt is required on every highway in Canada
    • BIt keeps the rider cooler
    • CIt makes the rider easier for other road users to see
    • DIt reduces wind noise
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. It makes the rider easier for other road users to see

    Many crashes happen because a driver did not see the rider. Bright colours by day and reflective material at night help you stand out.

13. Question 13 sur 25

    • ATime
    • BCoffee
    • CFresh air while riding
    • DA cold shower
    Voir la réponse

    Your body removes alcohol slowly. Coffee, cold water or exercise do not speed it up.

14. Question 14 sur 25

    • ALet go of the handlebars
    • BBrake hard with the front brake
    • CSpeed up to stop the wobble
    • DGrip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Grip the handlebars firmly and close the throttle gradually

    Do not fight the wobble or brake hard. Hold on firmly and slow down gradually.

    • ATurn the signal off yourself after the turn or lane change
    • BUse hand signals only
    • CLeave it on until you stop
    • DNever use the turn signals

    • 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

    • AIt has a tinted visor
    • BIt is painted a bright colour

    • DIt was the most expensive in the store
    Voir la réponse

    • ARide only on the highway
    • BDo not ride until you know it will not affect you

    • ARemove the mirrors
    • BLower the handlebars
    • CTire pressure and suspension, as the owner’s manual says
    • DRemove the passenger footpegs
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: C. Tire pressure and suspension, as the owner’s manual says

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

20. Question 20 sur 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
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: 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.

21. Question 21 sur 25

    A driver is tailgating you. What should you do?

    • AIncrease the space ahead of you, or change lanes to let them pass
    • BSpeed up as fast as you can
    • CBrake suddenly to warn them
    • DRide on the shoulder
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. Increase the space ahead of you, or change lanes to let them pass

    More space ahead gives you and the tailgater time to stop. If you can, let them go by.

22. Question 22 sur 25

    You are following a car. Why is it usually better not to ride directly behind it in the centre of the lane?

    • AThe driver may not see you in the mirror, and the car blocks your view
    • BYou will get there faster
    • CIt is too far from the car
    • DIt uses more fuel
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: A. The driver may not see you in the mirror, and the car blocks your view

    Riding in the left or right portion of the lane lets the driver ahead see you in a mirror and lets you see past the vehicle.

23. Question 23 sur 25

    At night, what helps you see and be seen?

    • ARiding close to the vehicle ahead to use its lights
    • BUsing a tinted face shield
    • CWearing dark clothing
    • DUsing high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, slowing down and leaving more space
    Voir la réponse

    Réponse: D. Using high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, slowing down and leaving more space

    At night you see less and others see you less. Use your lights well, slow down, keep more space and wear reflective gear.

24. Question 24 sur 25

    How does carrying a passenger change the way a motorcycle handles?

    • 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

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