Pergunta 1 de 25
Why should you check that your steering moves freely before a ride?
- It keeps the tyres warm
- Stiff or notchy steering makes the bike hard to control
- It helps the engine start
- It is needed for the brake light
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Stiff or notchy steering makes the bike hard to control
Steering should move smoothly from lock to lock. Stiffness or notches can mean a fault that affects control.
Pergunta 2 de 25
In the diagram, the rider presses the right handgrip forward. What happens?
- The front brake comes on
- The motorcycle leans right and turns right
- The motorcycle leans left and turns left
- The motorcycle slows down
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. The motorcycle leans right and turns right
At speed, pressing the right grip forward makes the motorcycle lean and turn right. This is countersteering.
Pergunta 3 de 25
Using countersteering, how do you start a lean to the left at normal road speeds?
- Shift your weight backwards
- Press the left handgrip forward
- Pull both grips back
- Press the right handgrip forward
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Press the left handgrip forward
Press the grip on the side you want to go. Pressing the left grip forward starts a lean to the left.
Pergunta 4 de 25
In a normal bend like the one in the diagram, how should your body lean?
- Against the motorcycle
- Upright while the motorcycle leans
- With the motorcycle, at the same angle
- Forward onto the tank
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. With the motorcycle, at the same angle
In a normal bend, rider and machine lean together.
Pergunta 5 de 25
Marker 1 in the diagram shows the rider’s head. What should it do in a bend?
- Turn to watch the mirrors
- Look down at the front wheel
- Stay level, with the eyes in line with the horizon
- Tilt with the motorcycle
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. Stay level, with the eyes in line with the horizon
Keeping your head level helps your balance and lets you judge the bend.
Pergunta 6 de 25
Where should you normally ride in your lane when there are no hazards?
- Close to the kerb
- Around the centre of your lane
- On the centre line
- In the gutter
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Around the centre of your lane
The centre of your lane is your normal position. Move from it when hazards or your view make another position safer.
Pergunta 7 de 25
What is a "lifesaver" look?
- A look at the speedometer
- A look in your mirrors after you have turned
- A final look over your shoulder into the blind spot before you change direction
- A check of your tyres before a ride
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: C. A final look over your shoulder into the blind spot before you change direction
Mirrors do not show everything behind you. Rule 88 says check behind and to the sides before manoeuvring; a last look over your shoulder covers the blind spot.
Pergunta 8 de 25
Before you move off, what should you do?
- Rev the engine
- Use your mirrors and look round to check your blind spots
- Signal and pull out at once
- Sound your horn
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. Use your mirrors and look round to check your blind spots
Rule 159: before moving off, use all mirrors and look round for blind spots. Only move off when it is safe.
Pergunta 9 de 25
Which routine should you use before every change of speed or direction?
- Brake, signal, steer
- Signal, manoeuvre, observation
- Manoeuvre, observation, signal
- Observation, signal, manoeuvre
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Observation, signal, manoeuvre
Rule 88 reminds riders to use Observation – Signal – Manoeuvre.
Pergunta 10 de 25
On a dry road, which brake gives the most stopping power on most motorcycles?
- Both give the same
- The front brake
- The engine cut-out switch
- The rear brake
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. The front brake
Weight shifts forward when you brake, so the front brake gives most of the stopping power. Use both brakes in normal riding.
Pergunta 11 de 25
When is the safest time to brake hard?
- While changing lanes
- When the motorcycle is upright and travelling in a straight line
- While leaning over
- In the middle of a bend
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. When the motorcycle is upright and travelling in a straight line
Your tyres have the most grip for braking when the machine is upright and going straight.
Pergunta 12 de 25
Where should you do most of your slowing down for a bend?
- In the middle of the bend
- You should not slow down for bends
- At the exit of the bend
- Before the bend, while upright
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Before the bend, while upright
Slow down before you reach the bend, so you can ride through it with a steady throttle.
Pergunta 13 de 25
How should you use the throttle as you ride through a bend?
- Close it suddenly in the middle
- Open it fully as you enter
- Pull in the clutch and coast
- Keep a steady or gently rising throttle
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. Keep a steady or gently rising throttle
A steady or gently increasing throttle keeps the motorcycle stable through the bend.
Pergunta 14 de 25
What is the main cause of skidding on a motorcycle?
- The weather alone
- The rider braking, accelerating or steering too harshly
- Other road users
- Worn indicators
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: B. The rider braking, accelerating or steering too harshly
Most skids are caused by harsh use of the controls. Brake, accelerate and steer smoothly, especially on poor surfaces.
Pergunta 15 de 25
Why is coasting (riding with the clutch pulled in) dangerous?
- It saves too much fuel
- It is only dangerous uphill
- It makes the bike too slow
- It removes engine braking and reduces your control
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. It removes engine braking and reduces your control
Rule 122: coasting removes engine braking, lets speed build downhill and affects steering, especially on bends.
Pergunta 16 de 25
Where should your feet be while you ride?
- On the engine casing
- Hanging near the road at low speed
- On the pillion footrests
- On the footrests, with toes pointing forward
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: D. On the footrests, with toes pointing forward
Keep your feet on the footrests, ready to use the gear lever and rear brake. Toes pointing down can catch the road.
Pergunta 17 de 25
Why should you use a lower gear on a long, steep downhill?
- So engine braking helps control your speed
- To use less fuel
- So you can coast
- To make the engine quieter
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. So engine braking helps control your speed
A lower gear lets the engine help hold your speed, so you rely less on the brakes.
Pergunta 18 de 25
Why do many collisions with motorcycles happen at junctions?
- Riders always have priority
- Junctions have no road markings
- Motorcycles cannot stop at junctions
- Drivers pulling out fail to see the rider
Mostrar resposta

Rule 211 warns drivers that motorcyclists are hard to see, especially at junctions. Ride as if drivers may not have seen you.

Pergunta 20 de 25
A large lorry ahead is signalling left at a junction. What should you do?
- Stay behind it and do not ride up its left side
- Ride alongside its cab so the driver sees you
- Sound your horn and pass on either side
- Overtake it on the left before it turns
Mostrar resposta
Resposta: A. Stay behind it and do not ride up its left side
Long vehicles may swing out before turning left and can trap a rider on their left. Hang back until it has turned.
