Florida Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is 12 seconds

When scanning the road for hazards, you should look 12 seconds ahead on your path of travel. This will give you time to prepare and plan for a situation before it becomes an immediate hazard. Twelve seconds may not seem like much, but bear in mind that at 60 mph, your motorcycle will travel 1,056 feet in 12 seconds.

Not quite. The answer is Flash your brake light.

You can make your brake light more noticeable to others by flashing it.

Not quite. The answer is avoid the left lane position.

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 the front brake.

About 70 percent of your motorcycle's stopping power is provided by the front brake. Still, you should always use both brakes to stop or slow down.

Not quite. The answer is at all times.

You should maintain an adequate space cushion around your motorcycle at all times. This helps keep you safe and gives you time to react.

Not quite. The answer is Twist it back and forth.

If your throttle sticks while riding, you should twist it back and forth to free it. If that doesn't work, operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch. This will cut power to the rear wheel.

Not quite. The answer is The right hand lever

The right hand lever controls the front brake. The right foot pedal controls the rear brake.

Not quite. The answer is dirt and gravel provide little traction.

The edge of the road is dangerous for motorcycles because the dirt and gravel that build up there provide little traction.

Not quite. The answer is increasing the throttle.

To help stabilize your motorcycle in a turn, you should roll on the throttle to maintain or slightly increase your speed.

Not quite. The answer is an exit number.

This sign represents an exit number. Such signs direct you to bike routes, parking areas, mileposts, and specific exits. By using the milepost number and the exit number, you can see how far you are from the exit you want to use.

Not quite. The answer is sit as far forward as possible.

Your passenger should sit as far forward as possible to help balance the motorcycle.

Not quite. The answer is Narrow bridge ahead

This is a warning sign that indicates a narrow bridge ahead. The bridge is wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic, but with very little clearance.

Not quite. The answer is Two-way traffic is ahead.

The sign warns the driver of two-way traffic ahead. Drivers must watch for traffic going in the opposite direction.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Before every ride, you should check your motorcycle's tires, lights, and chassis.

Not quite. The answer is at the stop line first, then edge forward.

When approaching a blind intersection with a stop line, you must stop at the stop line first. If it is difficult to see from there, you may edge forward until you can see clearly.

Not quite. The answer is The center portion of the lane

To make a right turn, stay in the center portion of the lane. This will provide a space cushion around the motorcycle that permits you to take evasive action, in case another driver enters your right of way.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

There are many driving-related offenses for which conviction will lead to suspension of your driver license. These include submitting a fraudulent application for a driver license, failing to pay the fine or appear in court for a traffic citation, and conviction in court for a traffic violation if the court orders that your license be suspended.

Not quite. The answer is The right lane ends ahead.

This type of warning sign gives advance notice of a reduction in the number of lanes ahead. This particular sign indicates that the right lane ends ahead. Drivers in the right lane must merge left. Drivers in the left lane should allow vehicles in the right lane to merge smoothly.

Not quite. The answer is You must not drive on the railroad tracks.

A red slash inside a red circle means "no." This sign means that you are not allowed to drive on the railroad tracks.

Not quite. The answer is (a) and (b)

Effective July 1, 2025, every aspiring driver under 18 who has never held a driver license in any jurisdiction previously must successfully complete a six-hour Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course before they may be issued a learner's license or driver license. A minor who fails to attend or graduate from high school or the equivalent (high school equivalency or homeschool) may lose his or her driving privileges or be denied driving privileges.
