Sample questions
What must a new rider in Florida complete before a motorcycle endorsement can be added to their license?
- A The Basic RiderCourse through an FRTP-authorized sponsor
- B A 90-day learner's permit period with a supervising rider
- C Fifty hours of logged riding with a licensed motorcyclist
- D A road skills test taken at any driver license office
Show answer
A. The Basic RiderCourse through an FRTP-authorized sponsor
Florida requires new motorcyclists to pass the Basic RiderCourse (BRC) through a Florida Rider Training Program (FRTP) authorized sponsor before the endorsement is added. The course combines classroom work with hands-on riding and a skills evaluation, so riders start on the street with trained habits.
Which situation is one of the biggest crash dangers for motorcyclists at intersections?
- A A car stopped at a red light ahead of you
- B A car following you at a safe distance
- C A car passing you on a divided highway
- D A car turning left across your path
Show answer
D. A car turning left across your path
Cars turning left in front of you, and cars pulling out from side streets, are the biggest dangers at intersections. Drivers often misjudge a motorcycle's speed and distance or fail to notice it at all, so slow, cover your brakes and be ready to stop.
In the T-CLOCS pre-ride inspection, what does the "O" remind you to check?
- A Odometer and trip mileage
- B Overall frame and fasteners
- C Oil and other fluid levels
- D Optional accessories and luggage
Show answer
C. Oil and other fluid levels
T-CLOCS stands for Tires and wheels, Controls, Lights and electrics, Oil and other fluids, Chassis, and Stands. Under O you check engine oil and transmission fluid, check brake fluid and coolant, make sure the fuel valve is open, and look under the motorcycle for oil or fuel leaks.
In Florida, at what blood or breath alcohol level is a rider of legal drinking age considered to be driving under the influence?
- A .05 or higher
- B .08 or higher
- C .10 or higher
- D .15 or higher
Show answer
B. .08 or higher
Florida's DUI law applies at a blood or breath alcohol level of .08 or above, or whenever your normal faculties are impaired. Riding skills begin to degrade well below the legal limit, so the only safe level is zero.
