Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Motorcycle License Test
How should a motorcyclist safely cross railroad tracks?
At a ninety degree angle across lanes
None of these
At an angle while riding on the double yellow street lines
At an angle using the shoulder of the road
Straight across the tracks while staying in their lane
Straight across the tracks while staying in their lane
A rider should cross railroad tracks by traveling straight across them and remaining in their lane. It may be tempting to cross tracks at a ninety degree angle; however, that may cause the rider to travel into the opposite lane. Last, one should never ride the center line or the berm of the road.
Example Question #2 : Motorcycle License Test
How should a motorcyclist handle wobbling that occurs when crossing grated surfaces?
Travel straight across the surface allowing the bike to wobble slightly
Travel in a zig-zag motion that matches the pattern of the grate
Avoid grated surfaces
None of these
Travel straight across the surface tightly gripping the handlebars to avoid wobble
Travel straight across the surface allowing the bike to wobble slightly
A rider should travel straight across grated surfaces and allow the bike to wobble slightly. It is natural for the front tire to wobble slightly while traveling across a grated surface. If the rider tries to tightly grip the handlebars to avoid the wobble then they may have trouble controlling the motorcycle. Likewise, riders should never travel in a zig-zag manner because this could cause the motorcycle to cross into the other lane. Last, riders should plan their routes to avoid hazardous surfaces during initial trips; however, it is impossible to avoid all hazardous situations. Riders should prepare for and not avoid navigation across dangerous surfaces.
