Sample questions
Your Maine motorcycle road test was waived because you completed the Basic Rider Course. What restriction applies to your new endorsement?
- A No riding after dark for 60 days after it is issued
- B No highway riding for 90 days after it is issued
- C No passengers until you turn 21
- D No passengers for 60 days after it is issued
Show answer
D. No passengers for 60 days after it is issued
If your road exam is waived, your Maine motorcycle endorsement prohibits carrying a passenger for 60 days after the date it is issued. A passenger changes how the motorcycle handles, so new riders get time to build experience alone first.
About how much of a motorcycle's total stopping power can the front brake provide?
- A At least 70%
- B About 25%
- C About 50%
- D All of it
Show answer
A. At least 70%
The front brake is more powerful and can provide at least 70% of your total stopping power. As you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire, giving it more grip. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop.
You must ride over an obstacle in the road. What should you do just before contact?
- A Apply the front brake firmly to slow down
- B Turn the handlebars to hit it at an angle
- C Roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end
- D Sit down firmly on the seat to stay planted
Show answer
C. Roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end
Slow down before contact, keep the motorcycle straight, rise slightly off the seat, and just before contact roll on the throttle slightly to lighten the front end. Afterward, pull off and check your tires and rims.
After an OUI arrest in Maine with a failing alcohol test, when does the Secretary of State suspend your license?
- A Only after a judge finds you guilty
- B Only if you have a prior OUI conviction
- C 30 days after the arrest, if you do not appeal
- D Immediately, before any court appearance
Show answer
D. Immediately, before any court appearance
Based on the police report and the alcohol test result, the Secretary of State immediately suspends your license, before any court appearance. You lose the privilege to drive or ride while you wait for your case.
