North Dakota Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Not quite. The answer is guide drivers into certain traffic lanes.

Large flashing or sequencing arrow panels may be used in work zones in both day and night to guide drivers into certain traffic lanes and inform them that part of the road or street ahead is closed.

Not quite. The answer is Downshifting through 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 You are doing all of the above.

Choosing the best lane position will maximize your space cushion, help you avoid being in a blind spot, and help you avoid hazards.

Not quite. The answer is your motorcycle's stopping distance increases.

The extra weight of cargo or a passenger will increase your motorcycle's stopping distance. Adjust your riding accordingly.

Not quite. The answer is Traffic in the right lane must turn right, and traffic in the second lane should go straight or turn right.

This sign means that traffic in the right lane must turn right, and traffic in the second lane should either continue straight or turn right.

Not quite. The answer is no one.

Although North Dakota law does not prohibit two motorcycles from pairing up in a lane, you shouldn't share your lane with any other vehicles. Each motorcycle requires a full lane width to operate safely. To avoid a hazard, each motorcycle may need the full width of the lane to maneuver.

Not quite. The answer is Sharp right turn

This sign indicates that the road ahead turns sharply to the right. Slow down and use caution.

Not quite. The answer is You can't.

There is no way to guarantee that car drivers will notice you. Car drivers often fail to notice motorcyclists even when they are looking directly at them. Even if a car driver makes eye contact with you, you still can't be sure that the driver has noticed you. Always use caution at intersections.

Not quite. The answer is will change throughout the curve.

When you ride through a curve, the most effective lane position will change throughout the curve. Use lane positions to your advantage.

Not quite. The answer is Try to straighten your motorcycle upright.

When stopping in a curve, you should try to straighten your motorcycle upright. Leaning over makes stopping dangerous.

Not quite. The answer is slow, tight

During slow, tight turns, you should lean your motorcycle while keeping your body straight.

Not quite. The answer is a two-way road.

Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. On two-way roads, you will see either a double solid yellow line or a solid yellow line alongside a broken yellow line.

Not quite. The answer is Move to the left portion of the lane

When you approach a blind intersection, move to the lane position that brings you into another driver’s field of vision at the earliest possible moment. In this particular situation, you should move to the left portion of the lane, so the driver on the cross street can see you as soon as possible.

Not quite. The answer is use your turn signals to make yourself more visible to others.

When you enter a freeway, drivers approaching from behind are more likely to see your turn signal blinking and make room for you. At highway speeds, it is best to signal at least five seconds before changing lanes. Use your turn signals even when you think no one else is around. Your turn signals also make you easier to see. If bright sunlight makes your turn signal lights hard to see, use hand signals.

Not quite. The answer is two abreast in the same lane.

Although North Dakota law does not prohibit it, you should never ride alongside another motorcycle in the same lane. You may not be able to maneuver sufficiently to avoid a hazard. Each motorcycle requires a full lane width to operate safely.

Not quite. The answer is Increase your speed.

At night, you should decrease, not increase, your speed to stay safe.

Not quite. The answer is at or below elbow height.

For the most effective steering, your hands should be positioned at or below elbow height.

Not quite. The answer is 366
