1. How does a rider judge whether the brake pads still have life left in them?
Show answer
Answer A: By looking at how much friction material is left on the pad
Pads are inspected visually for remaining thickness against the wear indicator, because a pad worn to its backing plate will destroy the disc.
-
2. You enter a corner faster than the turn can be taken. What is the most likely result?
Show answer
Answer A: The vehicle runs wide and may cross into another lane
Excess speed uses up the available grip, so the vehicle follows a wider arc than intended and drifts out of its lane.

Oklahoma's Move Over Law does not relieve the operator of a stationary authorized emergency, maintenance or wrecker vehicle from the consequences of reckless disregard for the safety of people and property on the highway.
-
5. A line beside your lane is painted about twice the normal width. What does the extra width convey?
Show answer
Answer B: Greater emphasis on the restriction it carries

-
7. Which clothing color is most likely to get a rider noticed in daylight?
Show answer
Answer B: Bright orange, yellow or green, which contrast with backgrounds
High visibility colors stand out against road, foliage and vehicles, which helps drivers pick a motorcycle out of a busy background during the day.
-
8. Why is a U-turn on a one-way street a problem?
Show answer
Answer A: You would end up facing the wrong way against all the traffic
Every lane of a one-way street runs the same way, so turning around leaves you driving head-on against all of the traffic.
-
9. You reach a T intersection where the cross street has a ONE WAY sign pointing to the right. What may you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Turn right only, because the street carries traffic in that direction
The arrow shows the only direction traffic may travel, so the only legal movement from the terminating road is a right turn.
-
10. On a motorcycle with a standard shift pattern, where is neutral found?
Show answer
Answer C: Between first gear and second gear
The usual pattern is one down and the rest up, with neutral sitting half a click between first and second gear.
-
11. How soon can the learner restriction be removed from an Oklahoma motorcycle license permit?
Show answer
Answer B: 30 days after the permit is issued
The Oklahoma motorcycle learner restriction may be removed 30 days after the permit is issued, provided the remaining endorsement requirements are met.
-
12. Why is it better for a passenger to hold the rider's waist or hips rather than the rider's shoulders?
Show answer
Answer A: Weight held low is less likely to disturb the rider's steering
Pulling on the shoulders feeds the passenger's movement straight into the rider's arms and handlebars, while a grip at the waist keeps that weight low and central.
-
13. A regulatory sign reads TURN ON HEADLIGHTS NEXT 15 MILES. What does it require?
Show answer
Answer C: Low beam headlights on for that stretch, day or night
Such a section is signed where a road is hard to see along, and the requirement is to run headlights, not just daytime running lamps, through the whole stretch even in bright daylight.
-
14. Who is required to wear approved protective headgear on a motorcycle in Oklahoma?
Show answer

Oklahoma requires DOT approved head protection for any motorcycle driver or rider under 18 years of age; riders 18 and older may choose whether to wear one.
-
15. Oklahoma's texting-while-driving law applies while the vehicle is doing what?
Show answer
Answer B: In motion on a street or highway
Oklahoma's texting statute makes it unlawful to compose, send or read a text message on a hand-held device while the motor vehicle is in motion.
-
16. What eye protection rule applies to motorcycle operators in Oklahoma?
Show answer
Answer D: A windshield or DOT approved safety eyewear is required for all motorcycle drivers
Unlike the helmet rule, Oklahoma requires eye protection of every motorcycle driver, satisfied either by a windshield or by DOT approved safety eyewear.
-
17. The oil pressure warning light comes on while you are riding. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Stop as soon as it is safe and shut the engine off
That light warns that the engine may not be receiving oil, and every extra minute of running risks destroying it.
-
18. On a multi-lane Oklahoma road where changing lanes is safe, what must a driver do when approaching a stationary vehicle with flashing lights?
Show answer
Answer A: Move into a lane that is not adjacent to the stopped vehicle
Where it is safe to do so on a multi-lane road, Oklahoma's Move Over Law requires a driver to change into a lane that is not adjacent to the stationary vehicle displaying flashing lights.
-
19. A rider notices scalloped, uneven wear across the front tire. What does that suggest?
Show answer
Answer C: A suspension or wheel bearing fault that should be inspected
Cupped or scalloped wear normally points to worn fork components or loose wheel bearings letting the tire bounce as it rolls.
-
20. You are approaching an uncontrolled intersection on a residential street where parked cars hide the cross street. What is the correct approach?
Show answer
Answer B: Slow enough to stop and creep out until you can see
Without a sign or signal you still have to be able to yield, and you cannot yield to traffic you have not seen.
