Arizona Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is on the right and left of the motorcycle.

A motorcycle has blind spots just as a car does. The blind spots are located on the left and right of the motorcycle, so always do a shoulder check before changing lanes.

Not quite. The answer is A

The school zone sign is pentagonal (five sided) with a yellow or yellow-green background.

Not quite. The answer is passing is allowed if done safely.

Broken white lines indicate that passing is allowed when it can be done safely.

Not quite. The answer is None of the above

A white line separates two lanes traveling in the same direction. If it's a broken line, you may cross it to pass or change lanes. If it's a solid line, you should usually stay in your lane.

Not quite. The answer is Slow down and swerve left around the turning vehicle

Vehicles turning left in front of you, including those illegally turning left from the wrong lane, and vehicles on side streets pulling into your lane, are the biggest dangers. If a vehicle turning left enters your path, slow down and swerve left around the turning vehicle.

Not quite. The answer is Downshifting through the gears to slow the motorcycle

Engine braking is done by downshifting through the gears to slow the motorcycle instead of relying only on the brakes.

Not quite. The answer is 3 years.

Arizona law requires you to stop at the scene of an accident in which you were involved. Failure to do so even if the accident involved only minor injuries is considered a class 5 felony, punishable by nine months to two years in prison and license revocation for three years not including the time you're in prison. Also, six points will be added to your driving record for failing to stop at the accident.

Not quite. The answer is large blasts of wind can affect your control.

You are especially in danger when being passed by large vehicles because large blasts of wind can affect your control. Motorcycles are smaller than cars, so they are more affected by the blasts of wind.

Not quite. The answer is an object marker on a roadway.

This is an object marker sign, which is used to notify drivers of objects in the roadway or very close to the edge of the roadway. The stripes point downward toward the safe side of the roadway. This sign indicates that you should keep right to pass the object.

Not quite. The answer is all of the above.

The space cushion between your motorcycle and the vehicle ahead of you gives you time to react and space to maneuver. You can brake and stop without risking a collision.

Not quite. The answer is Bicyclists must not use this road.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This prohibitory sign indicates that bicycles are not allowed on this route.

Not quite. The answer is a multi-use path crossing is ahead.

This is a warning sign. Bicyclists and pedestrians regularly cross the road in the area where the sign is posted. You must drive with caution and be ready to stop.

Not quite. The answer is increase your following distance.

Distances are harder to judge at night, so you should slow down and increase your following distance to leave yourself more time to react.

Not quite. The answer is food.

This is a guide sign. This sign indicates the availability of food.

Not quite. The answer is appear farther away than they are.

Motorcyclists must use caution when approaching an intersection. Because motorcycles are smaller than cars, they appear farther away than they really are. At intersections, car drivers making left turns against oncoming motorcycles often overestimate how much time they have to make the turn.

Not quite. The answer is Do all of the above.

You can increase your chances of being seen by wearing bright clothing, riding in a suitable lane position, and using your headlight.

Not quite. The answer is When you are being passed by another vehicle

If another vehicle is passing you on the left, ride in the center lane position to keep away from the hazard. Riding in the right lane position could encourage the driver of that vehicle to move back into your lane too soon. Also, in the right lane position, you would have less room for error on your right side if you were hit by a blast of wind from the passing vehicle that affected your control.

Not quite. The answer is a face shield.

The best protection against flying objects while you are riding is a shatter-resistant face shield. It will protect your whole face from flying objects, not just your eyes.

Not quite. The answer is applying both brakes without locking the wheels.

Maximum straight-line braking is achieved by applying both the front and rear brakes without locking either wheel.
