- Questions are drawn fresh from the full Arizona bank each time.
Sample questions
What is the youngest age at which you can be issued an Arizona motorcycle instruction permit?
- A 15 years and 6 months
- B 15 years
- C 16 years
- D 16 years and 6 months
Show answer
A. 15 years and 6 months
Arizona issues a motorcycle instruction permit at 15 years and 6 months. That lets a young rider start practicing six months before the earliest age for a full motorcycle license or endorsement, which is 16.
What does Arizona law require of a motorcycle's horn?
- A It must be able to emit sound for at least 200 feet
- B It must be able to emit sound for at least 100 feet
- C It must be as loud as a passenger car's horn
- D It is optional if the motorcycle has a modulating headlight
Show answer
A. It must be able to emit sound for at least 200 feet
Arizona requires at least one horn capable of emitting sound for at least 200 feet. A horn lets you warn a driver who is about to move into your path, although you should not rely on it alone.
About how much of a motorcycle's stopping power can the front brake provide?
- A About 25%
- B About 50%
- C At least 70%
- D All of the stopping power
Show answer
C. At least 70%
The front brake is more powerful and can provide at least 70% of your total stopping power. When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire, giving it more grip, so use both brakes every time.
To swerve quickly to the right around an obstacle, where do you apply hand pressure first?
- A On the right handgrip, then the left grip to recover
- B On the left handgrip, then the right grip to recover
- C On both grips equally while braking hard
- D On the right grip while leaning your body left
Show answer
A. On the right handgrip, then the left grip to recover
A swerve starts with a small amount of hand pressure on the handgrip on the side of your intended escape. To swerve right, press right, then press left to return to your original direction. Keep your body upright and let the motorcycle move underneath you.
