1. You are approaching a marked school crossing and children have started to cross the roadway. What is required?
Show answer
Answer A: Stop and let the children finish crossing the roadway
Drivers give way to people in a marked crossing, stopping if that is what it takes, and children in particular may change direction without warning.
-
2. The rider behind you is closing right up on your machine and crowding you. What is the best response?
Show answer
Answer D: Let them go past and take a position behind them instead
Speeding up to escape a rider who is following too closely usually brings them with you, while letting them past removes the pressure entirely.
-
3. Your face shield develops a crack across the middle. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer D: Replace the shield, because a crack scatters light and can fail
A cracked shield distorts your view, scatters light badly at night and can break apart in an impact, so it should be replaced rather than repaired.
-
4. When are you expected to switch from high beams to low beams?
Show answer
Answer D: When a vehicle approaches from ahead or you come up behind another vehicle
High beams blind other drivers, both those coming toward you and those you follow through their mirrors. Dim them whenever another vehicle is within range.
-
5. What does a steady yellow traffic light tell the driver facing it?
Show answer
Answer A: The green movement is ending and a red indication is about to appear
A steady yellow warns that the related green movement is being terminated and that red will follow, so you should stop if you can do so safely.
-
6. Your exit from a three-lane highway is about a mile ahead on the right, and you are in the left lane. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer B: Start moving right now, one lane at a time
Plan ahead and change lanes one at a time well before the exit, so you never have to cut across several lanes at the gore.
-
7. You are on a four-lane divided highway and a vehicle in your lane is stopped waiting to turn left across the median. What is the normal way past?
Show answer
Answer D: Slow down and go by in the lane to the right when it is clear
On a multilane road the free lane beside you is the lawful place to go past a vehicle waiting to turn, and the median is not part of the roadway.
-
8. An ambulance with lights and siren is coming toward you on an undivided two-lane road. What must you do?
Show answer
Answer A: Pull to the right edge and stop until it passes
On an undivided road, drivers in both directions clear the way, pulling to the right edge and stopping.
-
9. A bicycle symbol topped by two chevrons is painted in the middle of a travel lane. What does that marking indicate?
Show answer
Answer D: Bicyclists share the lane with motor vehicles and may ride away from the curb
A shared lane marking shows drivers where bicyclists are likely to ride in a lane used by both bicycles and motor vehicles.
-
10. An arrow panel in a work zone shows four flashing lamps in caution mode instead of an arrow. What does that display mean?
Show answer
Answer A: Warning only, so pass the work area with caution in your current lane
Caution mode gives a general warning without directing a lane change, so drivers stay alert and pass the activity with care.
-
11. What is the purpose of the padding built into the shoulders, elbows and knees of riding gear?
Show answer
Answer C: It absorbs impact energy at the joints most likely to strike first
Armor at the joints spreads and absorbs the force of an impact in the places that usually hit the ground first in a fall.
-
12. How much space should the leader of a group keep behind the vehicle ahead of the group?
Show answer
Answer D: At least the normal following distance a rider would keep when riding alone
Riding in a group does not shorten the space a motorcycle needs to stop, so the leader keeps the same cushion any rider would keep alone.
-
13. The blue signs mounted before a freeway interchange that carry the logos of individual businesses are
Show answer
Answer C: specific service signs, which show the brands available at that exit
Specific service signs, often called logo signs, list eligible businesses for categories such as gas, food, lodging, camping, attractions and 24-hour pharmacies at the upcoming interchange.
-
14. May you park across the entrance to a fire station?
Show answer
Answer D: No, an emergency exit must never be blocked
Emergency vehicles must be able to leave the moment a call comes in, so their entrances and exits are kept clear at all hours.
-
15. How should riders in a staggered formation pass another vehicle?
Show answer
Answer D: One rider at a time
Passing one rider at a time keeps each pass short and prevents the group from occupying the other lane longer than necessary.
-
16. How should braking and swerving be combined?
Show answer
Answer C: Brake before or after the swerve, never during it
Traction can be spent on turning or on braking, and asking for both at once during a swerve is very likely to cause a skid.
-
17. You are approaching a driveway where a car waits to pull out and the driver is looking your way. What should you assume?
Show answer
Answer D: The driver may not have seen you, so cover the brakes and be ready to slow
Looking in your direction is not proof that a driver has registered a motorcycle, so cover the brakes and be ready to slow until the car is clearly staying put.
-
18. You are driving through a neighborhood where several children are riding bicycles. What should you do?
Show answer
Answer C: Slow down and expect sudden, unpredictable moves
Young riders lack the judgment and the mirror habits of adults and may swerve or cross without looking, so lower speed is your only reliable margin.
-
19. A yellow lamp flashes above a warning sign at a sharp curve. What does it ask of a driver?
Show answer
Answer D: Slow down and pass the point with extra care
A warning beacon draws attention to the sign it is mounted with, and the message of the sign is what the driver must act on.
-
20. What is the correct position for the feet while riding?
Show answer
Answer C: Firmly on the footrests with the toes level
Toes kept level stay clear of the pavement when the motorcycle leans and leave the foot ready to reach the brake pedal or shift lever.
