New York Motorcycle Permit: Alcohol, Laws & Licensing Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is stop at least every two hours.

Riding a motorcycle can be more tiring than driving a car. To avoid fatigue, you should stop and take a rest break at least once every two hours.

Not quite. The answer is the amount of alcohol you've consumed.

Different types of drinks do not affect you differently. It is the amount of alcohol you consume, not whether it is in beer, wine, or liquor that raises your blood alcohol content (BAC) and impairs your driving abilities.

Not quite. The answer is blood alcohol content.

A chemical test is used to measure your blood alcohol content (BAC).

Not quite. The answer is positioned at an angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

When parked in a parallel parking space, your motorcycle should be positioned at a 90-degree angle with the rear wheel touching the curb.

Not quite. The answer is 15 feet

In New York State, you cannot park, stop, or stand a vehicle within 15 feet (about 5 m) of a fire hydrant, unless a licensed operator remains in the vehicle to move it in an emergency.

Not quite. The answer is read the label about the side effects of the medication.

Some prescription drugs and even some over-the-counter drugs (such as certain allergy medicines) can impair your driving abilities. Drugs can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision, and alertness in ways similar to alcohol, and they may have other dangerous effects as well. If you take any medication, even an over-the-counter medication for colds or allergies, check the label for warnings about its effects, or ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Not quite. The answer is your blood alcohol content is 0.08% or above.

You are considered legally intoxicated if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or above. If you are found to be operating a motor vehicle while your BAC is that high, you will be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI). In New York State, if your BAC is above 0.05% but less than 0.08%, you will be charged with driving while impaired (DWAI). Both DWI and DWAI are criminal offenses.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above

Illegal drugs, some prescription drugs (such as tranquilizers), and even some over-the-counter drugs (such as certain allergy medicines) can impair your driving abilities. Drugs can affect your reflexes, judgment, vision, and alertness in ways similar to alcohol, and they may have other dangerous effects as well. It can be a criminal offense to drive while impaired by the effects of drugs or alcohol combined with drugs.

Not quite. The answer is An insurance identification card

When you purchase a liability insurance policy for your vehicle, the insurer will issue you two insurance identification cards. Each card shows your name, the vehicle identification number, the insurance policy number, and the policy expiration date. Submit one card to the DMV when you register your vehicle, and keep the other card with you at all times.

Not quite. The answer is All of the above statements are true.

When you drink alcohol or take other drugs, safe riding is not possible. Not every impaired or intoxicated rider gets involved in a traffic crash, but each one is dangerous, putting the lives of himself or herself and others sharing the road at risk.

Not quite. The answer is wait for a day or two.

The more alcohol that gets into your body to make you intoxicated, the longer it will take your body to break it all down. If you consume a great deal of alcohol, it can take as long as a day or two for your body to fully recover.

Not quite. The answer is take frequent rest breaks.

The best way to stay alert while riding a motorcycle is to take frequent rest breaks. Riding a motorcycle is more tiring than driving a car. Take the time to get off and stretch.

Not quite. The answer is If some other vehicle triggers the light sensor for you

Over a dozen US states have now enacted so-called "dead red" laws, which allow motorcyclists to proceed past a red light if their motorcycle fails to trigger the light sensor. Unfortunately, New York State isn't one of those states.

Not quite. The answer is No.

In New York State, you may not park, stand, or stop on a crosswalk.

Not quite. The answer is $1,000

If you are involved in a traffic accident, you must file an accident report (Form MV-104) with the DMV if anyone was injured or killed or there was at least $1,000 in damages to the property of any one person.

Not quite. The answer is the date of the violation.

The DMV point system uses the date of violation to calculate deadlines and the amount of time between offenses.

Not quite. The answer is Ask a friend who hasn't been drinking to give you a ride.

If you've had a few drinks, you are most likely to be over the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC). It will take longer than a half hour for you to completely sober up. Rather than drive home, you should take public transportation or a taxi, ask a friend to give you a ride, or (if it's safe to do so) stay overnight. Don't try to walk home; walking while intoxicated can increase your chance of being in a traffic accident.

Not quite. The answer is any or all of the above

In New York State, if you are convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, your license will be revoked and you will have to pay a fine, go to jail, or both. The exact penalties will depend on your blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the offense and whether you had any prior convictions for driving under the influence.

Not quite. The answer is stop riding the motorcycle.

Unlike other motor vehicles, liability insurance may be terminated on a motorcycle without returning the license plate to the DMV. This makes it easier to put the motorcycle back on the road after winter storage.
