Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Motorcycle License Test
Which of the following most accurately describes what the motorcycle riding system acronym "SEE"?
See. . . educate. . . effect
Search. . . evaluate. . . execute
See. . . exciting. . . experiences
Safely. . . evade. . . emergencies
None of these
Search. . . evaluate. . . execute
Many beginner motorcyclists are taught the SEE system when learning to ride. The SEE system urges motorcyclists to search their surroundings, evaluate their circumstances, and execute a proper action on their motorcycle. This forces riders to look ahead, think critically, and perform deliberate actions while on the road.
Example Question #2 : Motorcycle License Test
About how much of a motorcycle's stopping power is controlled by the front brake?
Two-thirds
Three-quarters
One-third
One-half
One-quarter
Three-quarters
In most motorcycles, the front brake possess at least three-quarters of the machine's total braking power. Integrated braking systems may alter the amount of power that is delegated to each brake; however, the general rule states that most of the motorcycle's braking or stoppage power is controlled by the front brake.
Example Question #3 : Motorcycle License Test
Which of the following is not a component of the prescribed motorcycle turning procedure?
Look
Slow
Roll
Stop
Press
Stop
Motorcyclists are taught to follow the following turning procedure: slow, look, press, and roll. In this procedure, the rider is instructed to "slow" their speed, "look" at their surroundings, "press" and lean their body into the direction of the turn, and slowly "roll" on the throttle to accelerate and maintain a constant speed. In this way, riders must "follow-through" the turn by incorporating the dynamics of both their body and machine. The rider is not to "stop" or roughly apply the brake because this will cause the motorcycle to stand perpendicular to the road and initiate a straight trajectory against the intended turn.
Example Question #1 : Managing Distances And Spatial Orientations
How many paths of travel does the average traffic lane provide for a motorcycle?
The average traffic lane can be broken into three distinct sections of travel for a motorcyclist: left, right, and center. These sections of a lane can be used to increase visibility or navigate away from hazards. It is important to note that the sections of the road closes to the center line and shoulder are areas where car tires traditionally travel. As a result these sections are typically free of automotive oil or fluids. These fluids and the convex shape of traffic lanes can result in the center portion of the lane to become slippery in wet conditions.
Example Question #2 : Managing Distances And Spatial Orientations
Which of the following correctly identifies the minimum length of time motorcyclists need in order to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead?
None of these
It is recommended that motorcyclists maintain a minimum buffer of four seconds between themselves and the vehicle ahead of them. This provides the motorcyclist enough time to react to hazards or sudden stops.
Example Question #4 : Motorcycle License Test
How should a motorcyclist safely cross railroad tracks?
Straight across the tracks while staying in their lane
None of these
At an angle using the shoulder of the road
At a ninety degree angle across lanes
At an angle while riding on the double yellow street lines
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 #5 : Motorcycle License Test
How should a motorcyclist handle wobbling that occurs when crossing grated surfaces?
Travel in a zig-zag motion that matches the pattern of the grate
Travel straight across the surface tightly gripping the handlebars to avoid wobble
Travel straight across the surface allowing the bike to wobble slightly
Avoid grated surfaces
None of these
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.
Example Question #6 : Motorcycle License Test
In group riding, which of the following is an appropriate method to keep members of the group together?
Planning ahead of time
Placing beginners in the front of the pack
All of these
Knowing the route
Allowing those behind to set the pace
All of these
All of the choices help to keep riders together in a group riding scenario. Proper planning helps riders to be on the same page. Placing newer riders up front and allowing those in the back to set the pace keeps both groups from becoming cut off from the pack. Last, knowing the route enables riders to stay together or find one another if they become separated.
Example Question #5 : Motorcycle License Test
Which of the following beverages contains the greatest amount of alcohol?
Twelve ounce beer
All of these
An ounce and a half of liquor
Mixed drink with one shot of liquor
Five ounce glass of wine
All of these
All of the drinks listed have the same amount of alcohol in them. A twelve ounce beer, a mixed drink with one shot, and five ounces of wine all have the same amount of alcohol. It is important to note that an ounce and a half of liquor equals the same amount of liquor as a standard "pour" or shot.
Example Question #2 : Alcohol, Other Drugs, And Motorcycle Operation
According to the least number of drinks formula, if a person has nine drinks in four hours then how many drinks are still left in their body?
Cannot be determined
The least number of drinks formula states that the number of drinks left in a person's body equals the total number of drinks consumed minus the number of hours that has elapsed since their last drink was consumed. This can be written using the following formula:
Substitute in known variables and solve.
The person still has five drinks in their system.
