  1. Which footwear preparation best supports safe motorcycle operation?

    Correct answer: Wear sturdy ankle-covering boots and secure loose laces.

    Supportive footwear with slip-resistant soles helps protect your feet and ankles. Loose laces and tall heels can catch on the motorcycle or road surface.

  2. A beginner is seated on a motorcycle before buying it. Which fit is most useful for learning?

    Correct answer: Feet can reach the ground and controls are easy to operate.

    Choose a motorcycle you can support and operate comfortably. Reach to the ground and controls matters more than appearance or engine size.

  3. Your mirrors mostly show your shoulders. When should you correct their adjustment?

    Correct answer: Before riding, to show traffic behind and beside you.

    Set and clean mirrors before departure. The important view is the road behind and alongside, and adjusting a mirror while riding takes a hand and attention from control.

  4. Before riding at night, you discover that only one headlight beam works. What is the safest next step?

    Correct answer: Have the fault corrected before the ride.

    Check both high and low beams during preparation. You need working lighting and the ability to select an appropriate beam without dazzling other road users.
