Sample questions
You hold a Nebraska learner's permit (LPD) for a motorcycle. Who must be with you when you ride on public roads?
- A A licensed motorcycle operator at least 21 years old who stays within visual contact
- B A licensed car driver at least 21 who follows you in a car within one mile
- C Any licensed driver at least 18 years old who rides as your passenger
- D No one, as long as you ride only during daylight hours
Show answer
A. A licensed motorcycle operator at least 21 years old who stays within visual contact
A Nebraska learner's permit holder riding a motorcycle must be accompanied by a licensed motorcycle operator who is at least 21 and within visual contact. Because a motorcycle has no seat beside the rider, the supervisor rides separately but close enough to watch and coach you.
You cannot avoid riding over a small obstacle in the road. What should you do?
- A Stay seated firmly and lock your arms straight
- B Slow down, keep the bike straight and rise slightly off the seat
- C Speed up and lean slightly so the tire glances off it
- D Brake hard on the front brake just as you hit it
Show answer
B. Slow down, keep the bike straight and rise slightly off the seat
If you must ride over an obstacle, slow down as much as possible, make sure the motorcycle is straight, rise slightly off the seat with your weight on the footrests, and roll on the throttle slightly just before contact to lighten the front end.

Under Nebraska law, when may you carry a passenger on your motorcycle's seat?
- A Any time the passenger is wearing a DOT-compliant helmet
- B Only if it is designed to carry more than one person
- C Any time the passenger sits sideways behind you
- D Only if the passenger is at least 16 years old
Show answer
B. Only if it is designed to carry more than one person
Nebraska law says a motorcycle operator must ride only on a permanent and regular seat and may not carry a passenger unless the motorcycle is designed to carry more than one person. Riders must also sit astride the seat, facing forward.

About how quickly does the body generally eliminate alcohol?
- A At a rate of almost one drink per hour
- B About three drinks per hour
- C About one drink every 15 minutes
- D Faster if you drink coffee or take a cold shower
Show answer
A. At a rate of almost one drink per hour
Alcohol can generally be eliminated from the body at a rate of almost one drink per hour. The faster you drink, the more alcohol builds up, and the manual warns it can still accumulate even at one drink per hour, especially for women.
