Sample questions
When may you ride on a Nevada motorcycle instruction permit?
- A Only during daylight hours
- B Any time before midnight
- C Any time, as long as your supervisor is riding with you
- D During daylight and for one hour after sunset
Show answer
A. Only during daylight hours
A Nevada motorcycle instruction permit limits you to riding in daylight hours. Riding in daylight gives a beginner the clearest view of the road and the best chance of being seen by drivers.
About how much of a motorcycle's total stopping power can the front brake provide?
- A About 25%
- B About 50%
- C At least 70%
- D 100%
Show answer
C. At least 70%
The front brake is more powerful and can provide at least 70% of your total stopping power. When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire, giving it more traction to use.
Your throttle sticks open and twisting it does not free it. What should you do?
- A Apply the front brake hard and hold the throttle
- B Operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch
- C Shift into neutral with the clutch out
- D Turn off the ignition key and lock up the rear brake to stop quickly
Show answer
B. Operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch
If the throttle stays stuck, immediately operate the engine cut-off switch and pull in the clutch at the same time. This removes power from the rear wheel. Then pull off, stop, and check the throttle cable before riding again.
About how quickly does the body eliminate alcohol?
- A About two drinks per hour
- B About one drink per hour
- C About one drink every 15 minutes
- D It depends only on how much coffee you drink
Show answer
B. About one drink per hour
Generally, the body eliminates alcohol at about one drink per hour. Drinking faster than that lets alcohol build up in your blood, and even one drink can affect your judgment.
