Sample questions
A 19-year-old rider in North Dakota is considered legally under the influence at what alcohol concentration?
- A .05% or more
- B .08% or more
- C .10% or more
- D .02% or more
Show answer
D. .02% or more
North Dakota treats a rider as legally under the influence at .08% or more, or at .02% or more if the rider is under 21. The very low under-21 limit is close to zero tolerance because young, inexperienced riders are the most affected by even small amounts of alcohol.

When should your passenger get on the motorcycle?
- A Whenever they are ready, before you sit down
- B While you roll forward slowly in first gear
- C After you start the engine and put the transmission in neutral
- D Before you start the engine, while the motorcycle rests on its side stand
Show answer
C. After you start the engine and put the transmission in neutral
Tell your passenger to get on only after you have started the engine and put the transmission in neutral. Keep both feet on the ground and the brakes applied while they mount so the motorcycle stays steady.

Your motorcycle has a large windshield. Do you still need a face shield or goggles?
- A No, a windshield protects your eyes well enough
- B Only when riding faster than 50 mph
- C No, ordinary sunglasses are enough protection when you have a windshield
- D Yes, because a windshield does not replace eye protection
Show answer
D. Yes, because a windshield does not replace eye protection
A windshield is not a substitute for a face shield or goggles; most windshields will not keep wind out of your eyes. Proper eye protection should be free of scratches, resist penetration, fasten securely and let air through to reduce fogging.

A friend asks for a ride on the back of your motorcycle while you hold only a North Dakota motorcycle learner's permit. What does the law say?
- A You may carry one passenger if they wear a helmet
- B You may carry a passenger who holds a motorcycle license
- C You may not carry any passenger on a learner's permit
- D You may carry a passenger during daylight hours only
Show answer
C. You may not carry any passenger on a learner's permit
Anyone riding on a North Dakota motorcycle learner's permit may not carry passengers. A passenger changes how the motorcycle accelerates, brakes and turns, which is too much for a rider who is still learning basic control.
