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

2. Pergunta 2 de 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

   Paint and metal give much less grip when wet. Try to cross them upright, with no hard braking.

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

   The front brake lever is on the right handlebar, in front of the throttle. The rear brake is usually a pedal under your right foot.

4. Pergunta 4 de 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
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: 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.

5. Pergunta 5 de 25

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

   • ASo your headlight stays on

   • CSo you can leave before the light turns green
   • DSo the engine does not overheat
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: 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.

   • DSpeed up through the intersection

   • 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
   Mostrar resposta

   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.

8. Pergunta 8 de 25

   • 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
   Mostrar resposta

   Resposta: 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.

9. Pergunta 9 de 25

   Does a windshield on your motorcycle take the place of a face shield or goggles?

   • 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

    • APosition 1
    • BPosition 3
    • CNone of the positions shown

    • CInside of the lane all the way
    • DAcross the centre line and back

    Resposta: A. Outside of the lane, then inside, then outside again

    An outside-inside-outside path gives you a better view and a gentler line through the curve, if traffic and the road allow.

12. Pergunta 12 de 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

    • DCheck that it comes on with the front lever and with the rear pedal
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: 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.

13. Pergunta 13 de 25

    When is a road usually most slippery in the rain?

    • AWhen the rain has stopped and the road is dry
    • BOnly when the rain is heavy
    • CJust after it starts to rain
    • DAfter several hours of steady rain
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. Just after it starts to rain

    When rain first falls, it mixes with oil on the road. The surface becomes very slick until the oil washes away.

14. Pergunta 14 de 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
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: 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.

    • AThe motorcycle leans left and turns left
    • BThe motorcycle goes straight and slows down
    • CThe motorcycle leans right and turns right
    • DThe front brake comes on
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. The motorcycle leans right and turns right

    This is countersteering. Pressing the right grip forward makes the motorcycle lean and turn right.

16. Pergunta 16 de 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
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: 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.

    • DIt reduces wind noise
    Mostrar resposta

    • ARiding close to the vehicle ahead to use its lights
    • BUsing a tinted face shield

    Mostrar resposta

    • AThe rear handholds
    • BThe seat
    • CThe passenger footpegs
    • DThe hot exhaust pipes and muffler
    Mostrar resposta

    Exhaust parts get very hot and can cause serious burns. Tell your passenger before the ride.

    • BAt the road edge beside you
    • CAt the oncoming traffic only
    • DAt the front wheel

    • AIt holds your helmet while riding
    • BIt is needed to start the engine
    • CIf it does not stay up, it can dig into the road in a left lean
    • DIt helps you brake
    Mostrar resposta

    Resposta: C. If it does not stay up, it can dig into the road in a left lean

    A side stand that drops while you ride can catch on the road surface in a turn and cause a crash. Make sure the spring holds it up.

    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

    Staying away from parked cars gives you more time if a door opens or a car pulls out.
