Sample questions
How often should you do a T-CLOCS pre-ride inspection?
- A Once a week
- B Once a month
- C Before every ride
- D Only before long trips
Show answer
C. Before every ride
A T-CLOCS inspection should be done before every ride. It takes only a few minutes, and a minor problem that is just an inconvenience on a car can cause a crash on a motorcycle.
Where is the greatest potential for conflict between a motorcycle and other traffic?
- A On straight rural highways
- B In parking lots
- C On freeway on-ramps
- D At intersections
Show answer
D. At intersections
The greatest potential for conflict is at intersections, anywhere traffic may cross your path. Over half of motorcycle and car crashes are caused by drivers entering a rider's right-of-way, especially cars turning left in front of you.
What is the single most important thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving a motorcycle crash?
- A Ride a motorcycle with a large engine
- B Wear a securely fastened, quality helmet
- C Wear a leather jacket and gloves
- D Ride only on roads you know well and avoid all freeways
Show answer
B. Wear a securely fastened, quality helmet
Wearing a securely fastened, quality helmet is the most important step you can take to survive a crash. Helmeted riders are three times more likely to survive head injuries than riders without helmets.
To swerve quickly to the right around an obstacle, what do you do?
- A Press the left handgrip, then the right to recover
- B Turn the handlebars hard to the right
- C Press the right handgrip, then press the left to recover
- D Lean your body right and keep the handlebars still
Show answer
C. Press the right handgrip, then press the left to recover
A swerve is two quick turns. Press the handgrip on the side of your escape to lean that way, then press the other grip to recover: to swerve right, press right, then left. Keep your body upright and let the motorcycle lean beneath you.
