Sample questions
The Alaska Motorcycle Manual divides each lane into three "mini-lanes." About how wide is each one?
- A About two feet
- B About six feet
- C About eight feet
- D About four feet
Show answer
D. About four feet
Each marked lane gives a rider three paths of travel, each mini-lane about four feet wide. Choosing the right one helps you be seen and keep a space cushion.
According to the Alaska Motorcycle Manual, what is the single most important thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving a crash?
- A Wear a leather jacket and pants
- B Wear a securely fastened helmet
- C Ride with your headlight on
- D Keep both hands on the handlegrips
Show answer
B. Wear a securely fastened helmet
Head injuries are a rider's greatest threat, and a securely fastened helmet is the best protection against them. An unfastened helmet can fly off before it has a chance to protect you.
Your front tire suddenly goes flat. How will the motorcycle most likely feel?
- A The back end will jerk from side to side
- B The engine will lose power
- C The steering will feel heavy
- D The front brake will lock
Show answer
C. The steering will feel heavy
A flat front tire makes the steering feel heavy, while a flat rear tire makes the back of the motorcycle jerk from side to side. You will seldom hear a blowout, so learn to recognize these signs.
