Sample questions
Under Louisiana's mandatory requirements for motorcyclists, who must wear an approved safety helmet?
- A Every rider, regardless of age
- B Only riders under age 21
- C Only riders with less than one year of experience
- D Only riders traveling on interstate highways
Show answer
A. Every rider, regardless of age
Louisiana lists an approved safety helmet as the first mandatory requirement for all riders. Head and neck injuries cause most serious and fatal motorcycle injuries, and a securely fastened quality helmet is the single best way to survive a crash.
Under Louisiana law, how must a person sit while riding on a motorcycle?
- A Sideways, with both legs on one side, if holding on to the operator
- B Facing backward, so a passenger can watch traffic behind
- C Astride the seat, facing forward, with one leg on each side
- D In any position, as long as both feet are on footrests
Show answer
C. Astride the seat, facing forward, with one leg on each side
R.S. 32:191 says a person may ride a motorcycle only while sitting astride the seat, facing forward, with not more than one leg on each side. Sitting this way keeps the weight centered and balanced, so the operator can keep control.
Many motorcyclists use which part of the lane as their default lane position?
- A The right third, near the curb or shoulder
- B Directly on the lane line between two lanes
- C The left third, in the left tire track of cars
- D Exactly on the center line of the lane, over the oil strip
Show answer
C. The left third, in the left tire track of cars
Many riders treat the left third of the lane, the left tire track of cars, as their default position, then adjust as conditions change. No part of the lane must always be avoided; the goal is to be seen and keep a space cushion.
In Louisiana, if a rider under age 21 is arrested for DWI and tests at what blood alcohol level or above, the officer seizes the license?
- A 0.02 percent
- B 0.05 percent
- C 0.10 percent, the same as for adult riders
- D 0.08 percent
Show answer
A. 0.02 percent
Under R.S. 32:667, the officer seizes the license of an arrested driver who refuses the chemical test or tests at 0.08 percent or above, or 0.02 percent or above if under 21. The lower limit for young riders reflects how even small amounts of alcohol impair judgment.
