Pergunta 1 de 25
What is a linked braking system?
- A brake connected to the horn
- A system where one brake control applies both front and rear brakes
- A brake that works only in the rain
- A system that locks both wheels when parked

How can you tell that a motorcycle helmet meets a recognized safety standard?
- It has a tinted visor
- It is painted a bright colour
- It has a label such as DOT, Snell or ECE
- It was the most expensive in the store

- Only on the highway
- No, wind, rain, dust and insects can still reach your eyes
- Yes, a windshield replaces eye protection
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: 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.
Pergunta 6 de 25
Which surfaces are especially slippery for a motorcycle when wet?
- Clean, dry asphalt
- Painted lines, metal covers and steel plates
- Grass beside the road
- Rough concrete
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Painted lines, metal covers and steel plates
Paint and metal give much less grip when wet. Try to cross them upright, with no hard braking.
Pergunta 7 de 25
Under normal riding conditions, how should you brake?
- Use the front and rear brakes at the same time
- Use only the rear brake
- Use only the front brake
- Downshift without braking
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. Use the front and rear brakes at the same time
Under normal conditions, use both brakes together. This gives the most control and the shortest stop.
Pergunta 8 de 25
What is a common cause of crashes where a rider runs off the road in a curve?
- Looking through the curve
- Using the turn signals
- Going into the curve too fast
- Keeping a steady throttle
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. Going into the curve too fast
Many single-motorcycle crashes happen when riders enter a curve too fast and cannot hold their line. Slow down before the curve.
Pergunta 9 de 25
At night, what helps you see and be seen?
- Riding close to the vehicle ahead to use its lights
- Using a tinted face shield
- Wearing dark clothing
- Using high beams when there is no oncoming traffic, slowing down and leaving more space
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: 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.
Pergunta 10 de 25
Which situation causes many crashes between motorcycles and cars?
- A motorcycle stopped at a red light
- A driver signalling a lane change
- A motorcycle parked at the curb
- A driver turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: 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.
Pergunta 11 de 25
How should your arms be positioned when you ride?
- Held high above the grips
- Resting on the fuel tank
- Relaxed, with the elbows slightly bent
- Locked straight
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: 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.
Pergunta 12 de 25
Before you slow down or stop, what should you do?
- Turn off your headlight
- Sound your horn
- Shift into neutral
- Check your mirrors for traffic behind you
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Check your mirrors for traffic behind you
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.
Pergunta 13 de 25
Why should you ride with your headlight on during the day?
- It warms the engine
- It makes you easier for other road users to see
- It charges the battery faster
- It lets you ride faster
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. It makes you easier for other road users to see
Motorcycles are small and easy to miss. A headlight makes you more noticeable, especially to oncoming drivers.
Pergunta 14 de 25
What is a safe way to think about other drivers?
- Assume they will always give you the right-of-way
- Assume they always see you
- Assume they may not see you, and ride so you are seen with room to escape
- Assume large vehicles always watch for motorcycles
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. Assume they may not see you, and ride so you are seen with room to escape
Drivers often miss motorcycles. Ride defensively: be visible, keep space and plan an escape route.
Pergunta 15 de 25
Why start a curve near the outside of your lane, as in the diagram?
- To see farther through the curve
- To make the curve sharper
- To stay in the oil strip
- To get closer to oncoming traffic
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. To see farther through the curve
Starting on the outside lets you see farther around the curve. Never cross into the oncoming lane.
Pergunta 16 de 25
Where should you put heavy cargo on a motorcycle?
- Low and centred, and secured so it cannot shift
- Hanging from the handlebars
- On one side only
- High on a rack behind the passenger seat

- Nothing special if the ride is short
- Only sunglasses
- Only a helmet
- The same gear as the rider, including an approved helmet
Mostrar resposta

A passenger faces the same risks as the rider. They need a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing.
Pergunta 18 de 25
Which path through the curve is shown in the diagram?
- Outside of the lane, then inside, then outside again
- Outside of the lane all the way
- Inside of the lane all the way

You cannot avoid a small object in the road. How should you ride over it?
- Lean hard to one side as you hit it
- Close your eyes and keep your feet down
- Keep upright, rise slightly off the seat and hold the grips firmly
- Brake hard at the moment you hit it
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. Keep upright, rise slightly off the seat and hold the grips firmly
Hit the object as straight as you can, with the motorcycle upright. Your knees and elbows absorb the shock.
Pergunta 23 de 25
Item 6 in the diagram shows boots. What kind of footwear should you wear when you ride?
- Running shoes
- Sandals
- Low dress shoes
- Sturdy boots that cover your ankles
Mostrar resposta

Boots that cover the ankles protect your feet and ankles and give good grip when you stop. Saskatchewan requires ankle-covering boots for new riders.
Pergunta 24 de 25
On most motorcycles, how is the rear brake applied?
- By rolling off the throttle
- With a pedal under your right foot
- With a lever on the left handlebar
- With a pedal under your left foot
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. With a pedal under your right foot
Most motorcycles use a right foot pedal for the rear brake. Some motorcycles and scooters use hand levers instead.
Pergunta 25 de 25
What does "covering the brakes" mean?
- Using only engine braking
- Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
- Putting a cover on the brakes when parked
- Braking hard all the time
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Having your fingers on the front brake lever and your foot over the rear pedal
Covering the brakes cuts your reaction time, because you are ready to brake at once.
