23:45times. C. Better gear shifting. D.
23:48Feeling more energetic due to wind. The
23:51correct answer is B. Loss of
23:53concentration and slower reaction times.
23:56Explanation: Fatigue slows your physical
23:58and mental reactions, making it
24:01difficult to spot hazards in time.
24:05Question 47. When being tailgate by
24:08another vehicle, you should A. Slam on
24:11your brakes to scare them off. B
24:13increase your own following distance
24:15from the vehicle in front. C. Speed up
24:17until you lose them. D turn around and
24:20gesture at the driver. The correct
24:23answer is B. Increase your own following
24:26distance from the vehicle in front.
24:28Explanation: By increasing the space in
24:30front of you, you reduce the need for
24:32sudden braking, which protects you from
24:34being hit from behind by the tailgator.
24:39Question 48. The best way to stop a
24:41motorcycle in a curve is to A. Lean
24:44further and hit the rear brake. B use
24:46the front brake only. C. Straighten the
24:49motorcycle first, then apply the brakes
24:51in a straight line. D. Downshift three
24:54gears at once. The correct answer is C.
24:58Straighten the motorcycle first, then
25:00apply the brakes in a straight line.
25:02Explanation: Braking while leaned over
25:04reduces traction available for
25:06cornering. Straightening the bike first
25:09maximizes the grip available for
25:11braking.
25:13Question 49. A space cushion around your

26:28C. Lean the bike to the side. D. Shift
26:31into neutral. The correct answer is B.
26:35Keep it locked until the motorcycle has
26:37come to a complete stop. Explanation: On
26:40a dry surface, if the rear wheel locks,
26:42keeping it locked in a straight line is
26:44often safer than releasing it, which
26:47could cause a high-side crash if the
26:49wheel is out of alignment.

30:10into oncoming traffic. B close your eyes
30:13and break. C. Slow down if time permits,
30:16but maintain control and do not swerve
30:19into greater danger. D. Try to kick the
30:21animal away. The correct answer is C.
30:25Slow down if time permits, but maintain
30:27control and do not swerve into greater
30:29danger. Explanation: Swerving can lead
30:32to a more serious collision with a
30:34vehicle or a fixed object. If you cannot
30:36stop safely, hitting a small animal is
30:39often less dangerous than a high-speed
30:41swerve.
30:44Question 59. To help a passenger stay
30:46balanced, you should instruct them to A.
30:49Lean the opposite way of the rider. B.
30:52Look over your shoulder in the direction
30:54of the turn. C. Keep their feet off the
30:56pegs. D. Move around frequently to stay
30:59comfortable. The correct answer is B.
31:02Look over your shoulder in the direction

31:54Downshifting to use the engine's
31:56compression to slow the motorcycle. C.
31:59Pouring water on the engine. D. Breaking
32:01so hard the engine stalls. The correct
32:04answer is B. Downshifting to use the
32:07engine's compression to slow the
32:08motorcycle. Explanation. Releasing the
32:11throttle and downshifting allows the
32:13engine's internal resistance to slow the
32:15rear wheel.
32:18Question 62. If you carry a heavy load
32:21on the back of the motorcycle, the
32:23handling will change by A making the

32:33faster. D. Having no effect on handling.
32:36The correct answer is A. Making the
32:39front end feel lighter and potentially
32:41less stable. Explanation. Weight at the
32:44rear shifts the center of gravity and
32:46reduces the load on the front tire which
32:48can affect steering.
32:52Question 63. When riding in the rain,
32:55which part of the lane usually offers
32:56the best traction? A. The center of the
32:59lane. B. The tracks left by the tires of
33:02vehicles ahead. C. The painted white
33:05lines. D. The very edge of the shoulder.
33:08The correct answer is B. The tracks left
33:11by the tires of vehicles ahead.
33:13Explanation. Car tires wipe some water
33:16away and avoid the oily center providing
33:19slightly better grip in the tire paths.
33:23Question 64. SIPA is a system for A

34:03ability to use small muscles and fingers
34:06is first affected by a high speeds, b
34:10cold temperatures, c loud music, d using
34:13the high beam. The correct answer is b
34:17cold temperatures. Explanation: Cold
34:19hands lose the ability to operate the
34:21throttle, brakes, and clutch delicately,
34:24which is why gloves are essential.
34:28Question 66. When parked on a downhill
34:31slope, you should park the motorcycle in
34:33A neutral, B first gear, C top gear, D
34:38any gear, it doesn't matter. The correct
34:41answer is B first gear. Explanation:
34:44Leaving the motorcycle in first gear
34:46prevents it from rolling forward off the
34:48kickstand.
34:51Question 67. Wearing a fullface helmet
34:54is safer than an openf face helmet
34:56because A it is lighter. B it protects
35:00the chin and face in the event of a
35:02crash. C it is easier to talk to other
35:04riders. D it doesn't fog up. The correct
35:08answer is B. It protects the chin and
35:11face in the event of a crash.
35:13Explanation: A significant percentage of
35:15helmet impacts occur in the chin and jaw
35:18area, which only a full face helmet
35:20protects.
35:23Question 68. If you are riding and your

35:36sharply. D speed up to keep the tire on
35:39the rim. The correct answer is B. Shift
35:42your weight to the rear and use the rear
35:44brake gradually. Explanation: Using the
35:47front brake on a flat front tire can
35:49cause the tire to come off the rim or
35:51cause a crash. Use the rear brake and
35:53shift weight back.
35:57Question 69. Most motorcycle turn
36:00signals are not self-cancelling, which
36:02means you must a never use them, b
36:06manually turn them off after every turn
36:08to avoid confusing other drivers, c let
36:11them blink forever, d replace them with
36:14car signals. The correct answer is B.
36:17Manually turn them off after every turn
36:19to avoid confusing other drivers.
36:22Explanation: Leaving a signal on tells
36:24other drivers you are turning when you
36:26aren't, which can lead to them pulling
36:27out in front of you.
36:31Question 70. When approaching a blind
36:33curve, you should A. Speed up to get
36:36through it. B. Move to a lane position
36:38that allows you to see as far through
36:40the curve as possible. C. Ride on the
36:43shoulder. D. Honk your horn
36:45continuously. The correct answer is B.
36:48Move to a lane position that allows you
36:50to see as far through the curve as
36:52possible. Explanation: Adjusting your
36:54lane position, eg. Moving to the outside
36:57of the curve in trance, increases your
36:59line of sight.
37:02Question 71. Alcohol affects a rider's
37:06A. Judgment. B. Balance. C. Reaction
37:09time. D. All of the above. The correct

37:19safe motorcycle operation.
37:23Question 72. In a staggered formation,
37:27the leader is in the left side of the
37:29lane. Where is the second rider? A right
37:32side 1 second behind the leader. B left
37:35side 2 seconds behind the leader. C
37:38directly behind the leader. D in the
37:41next lane. The correct answer is a right
37:45side 1 second behind the leader.
37:47Explanation. This formation maintains a
37:502-cond gap between riders in the same
37:52line and a 1 second gap between
37:54staggered riders.
37:58Question 73. If you are forced to break
38:00while leaning in a turn, you should A.
38:03Jam the brakes on as hard as possible.
38:06B. Apply the brakes smoothly and
38:08gradually. C. Only use the front brake.
38:11D. Lean more. The correct answer is B.
38:15Apply the brakes smoothly and gradually.
38:18Explanation. Smooth application helps
38:20maintain traction. However, the best
38:23practice is to straighten the bike
38:24before braking if possible.
38:28Question 74. Why should you avoid riding
38:31in a truck's no zone? A. The wind is too
38:34strong. B. It is illegal to ride beside
38:37trucks. C. The truck driver cannot see
38:40you in their mirrors. D. The truck might
38:43explode. The correct answer is C. The

38:53where a motorcycle can completely
38:55disappear.
38:58Question 75. To help keep your balance
39:00at very low speeds, you should A. Keep
39:03your feet on the ground. B. Look down at
39:06the front tire. C. Keep your head and
39:09eyes up looking where you want to go. D.
39:11Shake the handlebars. The correct answer
39:14is C. Keep your head and eyes up looking
39:17where you want to go. Explanation.
39:19Looking down causes the bike to become
39:21unstable. Looking toward the horizon
39:23helps maintain balance.
39:27Question 76. When riding over a whoop or
39:31large bump, you should A. Increase

41:10route or meet at the next designated
41:12stop. Explanation: Safety should never
41:14be compromised to keep a group together.
41:17A preride meeting should establish what
41:19to do if separated.
41:22Question 80. In very cold weather, a
41:25rider may suffer from hypothermia which
41:28causes A. Increased alertness, B
41:31shivering, loss of coordination and
41:34confusion, C better breaking ability, D.
41:37Sunburn. The correct answer is B.
41:40Shivering, loss of coordination and
41:42confusion. Explanation: Hypothermia is a
41:46dangerous drop in body temperature that
41:48significantly impairs a rers's ability
41:50to operate the bike.
41:54Question 81. When riding on a road with
41:56a crown surface higher in the middle,
41:59you should be aware that A. traction is
42:01better on the slope. B lean angle for
42:04turns will be affected by the slope of
42:06the road. C the motorcycle will
42:08naturally speed up. D you must always
42:11ride in the exact center. The correct
42:13answer is B. Lean angle for turns will
42:16be affected by the slope of the road.
42:18Explanation. A crown road changes the
42:21effective lean angle. When turning away
42:23from the crown, you have less ground
42:25clearance. When turning toward it, the
42:28bike is already partially leaned.
42:32Question 82. If you are riding and the
42:35front tire starts to hunt or wander on
42:37groove pavement, you should A. Grip the
42:40handlebars as tightly as possible, B.
42:43Break hard until the wandering stops. C.
42:46Relax your grip and maintain a steady
42:48speed. D. Stand up on the foot pegs. The
42:52correct answer is C. Relax your grip and
42:55maintain a steady speed. Explanation.
42:57Many tires track into rain grooves or
43:00bridge decking. Fighting the handlebars
43:02can make the bike unstable. Relaxing
43:05allows the bike to settle itself.
43:09Question 83. Which part of the
43:11motorcycle should you use to grip the
43:14machine during hard braking? A the
43:16handlebars only? B. Your knees against
43:19the fuel tank. C. The gear shift lever.
43:22D. Your heels against the exhaust. The
43:24correct answer is B. Your knees against
43:27the fuel tank. Explanation. Gripping the
43:30tank with your knees helps stabilize
43:32your body weight and prevents you from
43:34sliding forward, which reduces the
43:36strain on your arms and improves
43:38control.
43:41Question 84. When riding in a line of
43:43traffic, why is it important to see
43:45through the windows of the vehicle
43:47ahead? A. To see if the driver is using
43:50a phone, B. To spot brake lights or
43:52hazards several vehicles ahead, C to
43:55check the vehicle's interior
43:57cleanliness. D. To avoid looking at the
43:59road surface. The correct answer is B.
44:02To spot brake lights or hazards several
44:05vehicles ahead. Explanation. Looking
44:07through or around the vehicle ahead
44:09gives you more time to react to traffic
44:12changes before the vehicle immediately
44:14in front of you even reacts.
44:18Question 85. What is the danger of
44:21target fixation? A. You will hit the
44:23object you are staring at. B. You will
44:26forget to shift gears. C. Your eyes will
44:29get tired. D. You will lose track of
44:31your speed. The correct answer is A. You
44:34will hit the object you are staring at.
44:36Explanation. A motorcycle tends to go
44:39where the rider is looking. If you stare
44:41at a pothole or a guardrail instead of
44:43the path of travel, you are likely to
44:45collide with it.
44:48Question 86. When approaching an
44:50intersection with a stale green light,
44:53one that has been green for a long time,
44:55you should A. Speed up to clear it
44:58before it turns red. B. Cover your
45:00brakes and be prepared for the light to
45:02change. C. Close your eyes and hope it
45:05stays green. D. Shift into neutral. The
45:08correct answer is B. Cover your brakes
45:11and be prepared for the light to change.
45:14Explanation: A stale green light is
45:16likely to change soon. Covering the
45:18brakes reduces your perception reaction
45:21time if you need to stop suddenly.
45:25Question 87. When two or more
45:27motorcycles are traveling together, they
45:30should never A. Ride in a staggered
45:32formation. B communicate with hand
45:35signals. C. Ride side by side in the
45:38same lane. D stop at the same gas
45:40station. The correct answer is C. Ride
45:43side by side in the same lane.
45:45Explanation. Riding side by side,
45:48sharing the lane, is dangerous because
45:50it leaves no room for swerving to avoid
45:52hazards or reacting to a companion's
45:55mistake.
45:57Question 88. To turn the motorcycle at
46:00very low speeds, eg. U-turns in a
46:03parking lot, you should a counter steer
46:05steer, b lean the motorcycle, but keep
46:08your body upright, counterbalancing, c
46:11lean your body into the turn more than
46:13the bike, d keep the bike perfectly
46:16vertical and only use the rear tire. The
46:19correct answer is B. Lean the
46:21motorcycle, but keep your body upright,
46:23counterbalancing. Explanation: At low
46:26speeds, leaning your body away from the
46:28turn while leaning the bike into the
46:30turn counterweing allows for a much
46:33tighter turning radius and better
46:35balance.
46:38Question 89. If you encounter a tank
46:40slapper, extreme handlebar vibration,
46:43you should not A. Grip the bars firmly,
46:46B. Close the throttle gradually, C.
46:49Apply the front brake, D keep your feet
46:52on the pegs. The correct answer is C.
46:55Apply the front brake. Explanation:
46:57Applying the front brake during a severe
46:59front end oscillation can cause the
47:01wheel to lock or the bike to flip.
47:03Easing off the throttle is the safest
47:06response.
47:09Question 90. When carrying cargo, you
47:11should try to keep the weight A. as high
47:14as possible, B. Only on one side of the
47:16bike, C low and as close to the center
47:19of the motorcycle as possible, D on the
47:22handlebars. The correct answer is C. Low
47:26and as close to the center of the
47:27motorcycle as possible. Explanation:
47:30Keeping weight low and centered, eg in a
47:33tank bag or low saddle bags, minimizes
47:36the impact on the motorcycle's handling
47:38and balance.
47:42Question 91. When is the road most
47:44slippery during a rainstorm? A. After it
47:47has been raining for several hours. B.
47:49Just as the rain begins. C. When the sun
47:52comes out after the rain. D. In the
47:55middle of the night. The correct answer
47:56is B. Just as the rain begins.
48:00Explanation. When rain first starts, it
48:02mixes with oil and dirt on the road
48:04surface to create a very slick film.
48:07After heavy rain, this film is
48:09eventually washed away.
48:13Question 92. What is the primary purpose
48:15of motorcycle engine guards, crash bars?
48:18A. To make the bike faster. B. To
48:21protect the engine and frame in the
48:23event of a tip over or slide. C. To
48:26provide a place to rest your feet while
48:28riding. D. To increase fuel efficiency.
48:31The correct answer is B. To protect the
48:34engine and frame in the event of a tip
48:36over or slide. Explanation. Engine
48:39guards are designed to take the impact
48:41of a fall, protecting the critical
48:43mechanical parts of the motorcycle.
48:47Question 93. If you have to ride over a
48:50slippery surface like a wet manhole
48:52cover, you should A. Accelerate hard. B
48:56break as hard as you can. C. Coast
48:59across with a steady throttle and no
49:01braking. D lean the bike as much as
49:03possible. The correct answer is C. Coast
49:07across with a steady throttle and no
49:09braking. Explanation: Neutral throttle
49:11and no braking or turning inputs
49:14minimize the demand for traction on a
49:16surface that has very little to offer.
49:20Question 94. Why is it important to
49:23perform a head check even if you have
49:25wide-angle mirrors? A. Mirrors can be
49:28distorted by vibration. B. Mirrors have
49:31blind spots that only a head check can
49:33clear. C. It is a legal requirement to
49:36turn your head 180°. D. To check if your
49:39helmet is still on. The correct answer
49:42is B. Mirrors have blind spots that only
49:45a head check can clear. Explanation. No
49:48matter how well mirrors are adjusted,
49:50there are areas to the side and rear
49:52that are not visible except by turning
49:54your head.
49:57Question 95. In an emergency swerve, you
50:00should A. Break hard while swerving. B.
50:03Swerve first, then break once the
50:06motorcycle is straight. C. Keep the
50:08clutch out and the throttle wide open.
50:11D. Close your eyes. The correct answer
50:13is B. Swerve first, then break once the
50:17motorcycle is straight. Explanation. You
50:19cannot maximize traction for both
50:21braking and swerving at the same time.
50:24Swerve to avoid the hazard, then break
50:26once you have recovered the upright
50:28position.
50:30Question 96. What should you do if your
50:33motorcycle's drive chain breaks while
50:35riding? A. Accelerate to keep it moving.
50:38B. Close the throttle, pull in the
50:40clutch, and coast to a stop in a safe
50:43area. C. Try to grab the chain with your
50:45hand. D. Shift into a higher gear. The
50:48correct answer is B. Close the throttle,
50:52pull in the clutch, and coast to a stop
50:54in a safe area. Explanation: A broken
50:57chain means you have lost the ability to
50:59power the wheel. Coasting to a stop is
51:01the only safe option.
51:05Question 97. When riding behind a large
51:08truck, you should increase your
51:09following distance primarily to A. Stay
51:12out of the truck's blind spots. B get a
51:15better view of the road ahead. C. Avoid
51:18debris that might fall from the truck.
51:20D. All of the above. The correct answer
51:22is D. All of the above. Explanation.
51:25Staying back improves your visibility,
51:28keeps you in the driver's mirrors, and
51:30protects you from road spray and falling
51:32debris.
51:35Question 98. To ensure you are noticed
51:37by a driver waiting to turn left at an
51:39intersection, you should A. Flash your
51:42high beam or slightly weave within your
51:45lane. B turn off your lights. C. Hide
51:48behind the car in front of you. D. Ride
51:51as close to the curb as possible. The
51:53correct answer is A. Flash your high
51:56beam or slightly weave within your lane.
51:59Explanation. A slight weave within your
52:01lane. S motion creates lateral movement
52:04which is more likely to catch a driver's
52:06attention than a static headlight.
52:10Question 99. What does a red fluid leak
52:14under your motorcycle typically
52:15indicate? A. Engine oil. B. Coolant or
52:18sometimes transmission fluid depending
52:20on the bike. C. Brake fluid. D.
52:23Gasoline. The correct answer is B.
52:26Coolant or sometimes transmission fluid
52:29depending on the bike. Explanation.
52:31While engine oil is usually brown or
52:34black, many coolants are dyed red, pink,
52:37or green. Any leak should be
52:39investigated before riding.
52:42Question 100. If you are being blinded
52:45by the high beams of an oncoming vehicle
52:47at night, you should look A directly at
52:50the lights. B at the right edge of your
52:52lane, the fog line, C at your dashboard,
52:56D behind you. The correct answer is B at
52:59the right edge of your lane, the fog
53:01line. Explanation: Looking toward the
53:03right edge of the road helps you
53:05maintain your position and avoid the
53:07white out effect of the oncoming lights.
53:12Question 101. A clutchless upshift is
53:15performed by A. Never using the clutch,
53:18B. Momentarily rolling off the throttle
53:21while applying upward pressure to the
53:23gear lever, C breaking the transmission,
53:26D only on automatic motorcycles. The
53:29correct answer is B. Momentarily rolling
53:32off the throttle while applying upward
53:34pressure to the gear lever. Explanation.
53:36By momentarily cutting the power, the
53:39transmission is unloaded, allowing the
53:41gears to slide into the next position
53:43without the clutch. Though this is an
53:45advanced technique.
53:49Question 102. When riding on a long
53:51trip, you should stop to rest. A. Only
53:54when you run out of gas. B. Every 2
53:57hours or 150 to 200 km. C. Every 10
54:01minutes. D. Only if you fall asleep. The
54:04correct answer is B. Every two hours or
54:08150 to 200 km. Explanation: Regular
54:12stops prevent the onset of fatigue and
54:14help maintain the high level of mental
54:16alertness required for riding.
54:20Question 103. If your motorcycle has
54:23ABS, anti-lock braking system, in an
54:26emergency stop, you should A. Pump the
54:28brakes. B. Apply steady maximum pressure
54:32to both brakes. C. Avoid using the
54:34brakes. D. Only use the rear brake. The
54:38correct answer is B. Apply steady
54:41maximum pressure to both brakes.
54:43Explanation: ABS is designed to prevent
54:46wheel lockup. You should apply firm
54:48constant pressure and let the system
54:50modulate the braking.
54:54Question 104. Wearing earplugs while
54:56riding is recommended because A it makes
54:59the music louder. B it prevents
55:02permanent hearing loss from long-term
55:04wind noise. C. It helps you hear the
55:06engine better. D it is a legal
55:09requirement for all riders. The correct
55:11answer is B. It prevents permanent
55:14hearing loss from long-term wind noise.
55:17Explanation: Wind at highway speeds can
55:19exceed 100 dibbels, which can cause
55:22hearing damage over time. Earplugs
55:24reduce this noise while still allowing
55:26you to hear sirens and horns.
55:31Question 105. When checking tire tread,
55:34they wear bars. Indicate a tire needs
55:36replacement when A they are invisible. B
55:40they are flush with the tire surface. C
55:43they turn red. D the tire is 10 years
55:45old. The correct answer is B they are
55:48flush with the tire surface. Explanation
55:51where bars are raised bridges in the
55:53tire grooves. When the tread wears down
55:55to their level, the tire no longer has
55:58sufficient depth for safety.
56:02Question 106. In a lowside crash, the
56:05motorcycle A flips over. B slides away
56:09on its side, usually due to loss of
56:11traction. C lands on top of the rider. D
56:15only happens on dirt. The correct answer
56:17is B. Slides away on its side, usually
56:21due to loss of traction. Explanation: A
56:24lowside occurs when the tires lose grip
56:26and the bike simply slides out from
56:28under the rider.
56:31Question 107. When approaching a railway
56:34crossing that is at a sharp angle to the
56:36road, you should A. Speed up and jump
56:39it. B. Ride straight across without
56:41changing direction. C. Turn slightly to
56:44cross the tracks at as close to a 90°
56:47angle as possible. D. Ride along the
56:49tracks. The correct answer is turn
56:52slightly to cross the tracks at as close
56:54to a 90° angle as possible. Explanation.
56:58Crossing at an angle prevents your tires
57:00from getting caught in the track
57:01grooves, which could cause a crash.
57:05Question 108. If you are riding and
57:08notice the engine temperature is rising
57:10into the red zone, you should A. Ride
57:13faster to get more air. B. Pull over and
57:16shut off the engine as soon as it is
57:18safe. C. Remove the radiator cap
57:21immediately. D. Shift to a lower gear.
57:24The correct answer is B. Pull over and
57:27shut off the engine as soon as it is
57:29safe. Explanation: Overheating can cause
57:32permanent engine damage. Never remove a
57:34radiator cap on a hot engine as the
57:37pressurized coolant will cause severe
57:39burns.
57:42Question 109. Why should you avoid lane
57:45splitting filtering between rows of
57:47moving cars unless it is specifically
57:49legal in your area? A. It is dangerous
57:52and unexpected by other drivers. B. It
57:55saves too much time. C. It is better for
57:58the engine. D. Drivers will like you
58:00more. The correct answer is A. It is
58:03dangerous and unexpected by other
58:05drivers. Explanation. In most Canadian
58:08jurisdictions, lane splitting is illegal
58:10and extremely dangerous because drivers
58:13do not expect a motorcycle to be passing
58:15between lanes.
58:19Question 110. A battery tender or
58:22trickle charger is used to A make the
58:25battery charge faster, B maintain the
58:28batteries charge during long periods of
58:30storage like winter, C power the
58:33motorcycle lights, D jump start a dead
58:35battery. The correct answer is B.
58:38Maintain the batteries charge during
58:40long periods of storage like winter.
58:43Explanation: Batteries naturally lose
58:45charge over time. A tender keeps them
58:48topped up without overcharging them.
58:52Question 111. When riding in a passing
58:55lane, left lane on a highway, you should
58:58A. Stay there as long as possible. B.
59:01Use it only for passing and then move
59:04back to the right or center lane. C.
59:06Ride at exactly the speed limit. D.
59:09Tailgate slower cars. The correct answer
59:11is B. Use it only for passing and then
59:14move back to the right or center lane.
59:16Explanation: Keeping the left lane clear
59:19for passing improves traffic flow and
59:21reduces the risk of being cut off by
59:23faster drivers.
59:27Question 112. Counterbalancing in a slow
59:30speed turn involves A. Leaning with the
59:33bike, B. Leaning your upper body toward
59:35the outside of the turn, C standing on
59:38the seat, D turning the handlebars the
59:41opposite way. The correct answer is B.
59:44Leaning your upper body toward the
59:46outside of the turn. Explanation: By
59:48moving your weight to the outside, you
59:50offset the weight of the motorcycle
59:52leaning to the inside, keeping the
59:54center of gravity over the tires at low
59:56speeds.
59:59Question 113. If your visor becomes
1:00:02covered in bugs or mud, you should A.
1:00:06Wipe it with your glove while riding. B.
1:00:08Use a gas station squeegee. C. Pull over
1:00:12and clean it with a soft cloth and
1:00:14water/ cleaner. D. Just look under the
1:00:16visor. The correct answer is C. Pull
1:00:20over and clean it with a soft cloth and
1:00:22water/ cleaner. Explanation: Wiping a
1:00:25dirty visor with a dry glove or a rough
1:00:27squeegee will scratch the plastic,
1:00:29permanently impairing your vision,
1:00:31especially at night.
1:00:35Question 114. The prime reason to
1:00:38maintain a 3-second or more following
1:00:41distance is A. To save fuel, B to allow
1:00:45for time to react to a hazard and come
1:00:48to a safe stop. C to prevent the
1:00:50motorcycle from overheating, D to comply
1:00:53with the 3-second law. The correct
1:00:56answer is B. To allow for time to react
1:00:59to a hazard and come to a safe stop.
1:01:02Explanation: Human reaction time plus
1:01:04the physical braking distance of the
1:01:06bike requires a significant gap to avoid
1:01:09a collision.
1:01:12Question 115. When using a motorcycle's
1:01:15center stand, you should A. Use only
1:01:18your arm strength to lift the bike. B.
1:01:21Put your weight on the stand's foot
1:01:22lever and lift upward/backward.
1:01:25C. Ask three people to help you. D.
1:01:28Never use it on flat ground. The correct
1:01:30answer is B. Put your weight on the
1:01:32stand's foot lever and lift
1:01:34upward/backward.
1:01:36Explanation. Center stands are designed
1:01:38to use leverage. By stepping down hard
1:01:41on the lever, you use your body weight
1:01:43to pivot the bike up.
1:01:46Question 116. If you must ride through
1:01:49deep water, a large puddle, you should
1:01:52A. Enter at high speed, B. Keep a steady
1:01:55throttle and avoid shifting gears. C.
1:01:58Drag your feet. D. Turn the engine off
1:02:01and coast. The correct answer is B. Keep
1:02:04a steady throttle and avoid shifting
1:02:06gears. Explanation. Steady throttle
1:02:09prevents water from being sucked into
1:02:11the exhaust and maintains momentum.
1:02:13Check your brakes immediately after
1:02:15exiting the water.
1:02:19Question 117. What is the danger of
1:02:22hypoxia when riding at high altitudes in
1:02:25the mountains? A. The tires will pop. B.
1:02:28Reduced oxygen can lead to impaired
1:02:30judgment and fatigue. C. The engine will
1:02:33explode. D. You will get a sunburn. The
1:02:36correct answer is B. Reduced oxygen can
1:02:39lead to impaired judgment and fatigue.
1:02:42Explanation. Altitude affects the human
1:02:44brain. Riders should be aware of
1:02:46lightadedness or slowed thinking when
1:02:49riding over high mountain passes.
1:02:53Question 118. A U-turn should only be
1:02:56attempted when A you are in a hurry. B
1:03:00it is legal and you have enough space to
1:03:02complete it safely in one motion. C
1:03:05there is a no U-turn sign. D you are on
1:03:08a blind curve. The correct answer is B.
1:03:11It is legal and you have enough space to
1:03:13complete it safely in one motion.
1:03:15Explanation: U-turns are high-risk
1:03:17maneuvers. Ensure the road is clear in
1:03:19both directions and that the maneuver is
1:03:22permitted by law.
1:03:25Question 119. When riding with a
1:03:28passenger, the passenger should get on.
1:03:30A before the engine is started. B. After
1:03:33the rider is seated, the bike is
1:03:35balanced and the engine is running. C.
1:03:38Whenever they feel like it. D. From the
1:03:40right side only. The correct answer is
1:03:43B. After the rider is seated, the bike
1:03:46is balanced and the engine is running.
1:03:48Explanation. The operator must be ready
1:03:50to support the extra weight. The
1:03:53passenger should wait for the operator's
1:03:54signal before mounting.
1:03:58Question 120. If your motorcycle has a
1:04:01reserve fuel valve petcock, you should
1:04:04A. Always ride in the reserve position.
1:04:07B. Turn it to reserve only when the main
1:04:09tank runs out, then head to a gas
1:04:12station. C. Never use the reserve. D.
1:04:15Use it to make the bike go faster. The
1:04:17correct answer is B. Turn it to reserve
1:04:21only when the main tank runs out. Then
1:04:23head to a gas station. Explanation: The
1:04:25reserve setting allows you to access the
1:04:28last few liters of fuel. If you leave it
1:04:30on reserve all the time, you will have
1:04:32no warning before you are completely
1:04:34stranded.
1:04:37Question 121. Cold tires provide A. More
1:04:41grip than warm tires. B less grip than
1:04:44warm tires. C the same grip as warm
1:04:47tires. D. No grip at all. The correct
1:04:50answer is B. Less grip than warm tires.
1:04:54Explanation: Motorcycle tires are
1:04:56designed to operate at a certain
1:04:58temperature until they warm up, usually
1:05:01after a few kilometers of riding. They
1:05:03offer significantly less traction.
1:05:07Question 122. If you are riding in a
1:05:10group and the rider ahead of you signals
1:05:12a hazard on the road, like a pothole, by
1:05:14pointing their foot, you should A, look
1:05:17at their foot. B, ignore it. C, pass the
1:05:20signal down to the rider behind you, D.
1:05:23Stop immediately. The correct answer is
1:05:26C. Pass the signal down to the rider
1:05:28behind you. Explanation: Group safety
1:05:31depends on communication. Passing
1:05:33signals ensures every rider in the pack
1:05:36is aware of upcoming hazards.
1:05:40Question 123. When parking on a hill,
1:05:43you should park with the motorcycle A.
1:05:46Facing downhill, B facing uphill or at
1:05:49an angle that prevents it from rolling
1:05:51off the stand, C in neutral, D. On the
1:05:54sidewalk, the correct answer is B.
1:05:58Facing uphill or at an angle that
1:06:00prevents it from rolling off the stand.
1:06:02Explanation: Parking facing uphill and
1:06:05in gear ensures gravity pushes the bike
1:06:07into the kickstand rather than pushing
1:06:09it forward and off the stand.
1:06:13Question 124. What is the apex of a
1:06:16corner? A the very beginning of the
1:06:19turn. B the sharpest or innermost point
1:06:22of the curve. C the exit of the turn. D
1:06:25the speed limit sign. The correct answer
1:06:28is B, the sharpest or innermost point of
1:06:31the curve. Explanation: Choosing the
1:06:33correct apex allows for the smoothest
1:06:36and safest path through a corner with
1:06:38the least amount of lean required.
1:06:42Question 125. Why is it dangerous to
1:06:45ride in the buffer space between two
1:06:47large trucks? A. The air turbulence
1:06:50buffeting can make the motorcycle
1:06:52difficult to control. B. The trucks
1:06:55might merge into you. C. You are
1:06:57invisible to both drivers. D. All of the
1:07:00above. The correct answer is D. All of
1:07:03the above. Explanation. Being sandwiched
1:07:06between large vehicles is extremely high
1:07:08risk due to visibility issues and wind
1:07:10pressure.
1:07:13Question 126. When using your turn
1:07:16signals, you should also A use hand
