Sample questions

  1. How much of your total stopping power can the front brake provide?

    • A About 25%
    • B About 50%
    • C Less than 10%
    • D 70% or more
    Show answer

    D. 70% or more

    When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire, so the front brake can supply 70% or more of your stopping power. That is why you must use it, together with the rear brake, every time you slow or stop.

    • C A DOT compliant helmet
    • D A full-face helmet only
    Show answer

    C. A DOT compliant helmet

    Georgia requires a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation standards. Head injuries cause most serious and fatal motorcycle injuries, and helmeted riders have fewer and less severe head injuries.

  3. In the T-CLOCS pre-ride inspection, what does the 'T' stand for?

    • A Throttle and cables

    • D Tank and fuel
    Show answer

    C. Tires and wheels

    T-CLOCS stands for Tires and wheels, Controls, Lights and electrics, Oil and other fluids, Chassis, and Stands. Checking tire pressure, tread and damage first matters because tires are your only contact with the road.

  4. During a hard stop, your front wheel locks. What should you do?

    • A Keep the front brake locked until you stop
    • B Release both brakes and coast
    • C Release the front brake immediately, then reapply smoothly
    • D Squeeze the front brake harder until the tire grips the road again
    Show answer

    C. Release the front brake immediately, then reapply smoothly

    A locked front wheel immediately takes away steering control and balance. Release the front brake fully to get the tire rolling, then reapply with controlled, gradual pressure.
