   • ALooking through the curve
   • BUsing the turn signals
   • CGoing into the curve too fast

3. Vraag 3 van 25

   Which surfaces are especially slippery for a motorcycle when wet?

   • AClean, dry asphalt
   • BPainted lines, metal covers and steel plates
   • CGrass beside the road
   • DRough concrete

5. Vraag 5 van 25

   You are stopped at a red light with traffic coming up behind you. Why stay in first gear and watch your mirrors?

   • CSo you can leave before the light turns green
   • DSo the engine does not overheat
   Toon antwoord

   Antwoord: 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.

6. Vraag 6 van 25

   • BFull-fingered gloves made for riding
   • CFingerless gloves
   • DNo gloves, for a better feel of the controls

   Full-fingered riding gloves protect your hands in a fall and give a better grip. Saskatchewan, for example, requires finger-covering gloves for riders in its graduated program.

   • ACheck your speedometer
   • BCount the number of car lengths

   • BShift your weight back
   • CPress the left handgrip forward
   • DPress the right handgrip forward
   Toon antwoord

   Antwoord: D. Press the right handgrip forward

   A swerve is two quick countersteers. Press the grip on the side you want to go, then press the other to straighten.

9. Vraag 9 van 25

   • 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
   Toon antwoord

   Antwoord: 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.

    • BTurn to watch the mirrors
    • CStay level, with your eyes in line with the horizon
    • DLook down at the road just ahead

    Keeping your head level and your eyes on the horizon helps your balance and lets you judge the turn.

    • CA motorcycle parked at the curb
    • DA driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle

    • DThe lane line
    Toon antwoord

    Oil and grease collect in the centre of the lane where vehicles stop. It is most slippery when wet.

    • BResting on the fuel tank
    • CRelaxed, with the elbows slightly bent
    • DLocked straight
    Toon antwoord

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

    • ARiding boots
    • BRiding gloves
    • CA helmet that fits well and is fastened
    • DA leather jacket

    Head injuries cause many motorcycle deaths. A good helmet, properly fastened, is your most important gear.

17. Vraag 17 van 25

    You must stop quickly while leaning in a curve. What should you do first?

    • AUse only the rear brake while leaning
    • BBrake as hard as you can while leaning
    • CStraighten the motorcycle, then brake firmly
    • DSpeed up to get out of the curve
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: C. Straighten the motorcycle, then brake firmly

    Hard braking while leaned over can make the tires slide. Bring the motorcycle upright first, then brake.

18. Vraag 18 van 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
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: 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.

19. Vraag 19 van 25

    During your pre-ride check, you twist the throttle and let go. What should happen?

    • AIt should snap back to the closed position by itself
    • BThe brake light should come on
    • CIt should stay where you left it
    • DThe engine should stall
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: A. It should snap back to the closed position by itself

    A throttle that does not close by itself is dangerous. Have it fixed before you ride.

20. Vraag 20 van 25

    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
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. As close to a right angle to the tracks as you safely can

    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.

21. Vraag 21 van 25

    What is a linked braking system?

    • AA brake connected to the horn
    • BA system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes
    • CA brake that works only in the rain
    • DA system that locks both wheels when parked
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. A system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes

    On a motorcycle with linked brakes, the front lever or the rear pedal can apply both brakes. Check your owner’s manual to learn how yours works.

22. Vraag 22 van 25

    How much of a traffic lane does a motorcycle need?

    • AOnly the space beside the curb
    • BThe full lane
    • COnly the right third
    • DHalf the lane
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: B. The full lane

    A motorcycle needs the whole lane to move away from hazards. Drivers should not share a lane with a motorcycle.

23. Vraag 23 van 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
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: 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.

24. Vraag 24 van 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
    Toon antwoord

    Antwoord: 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.
