Sample questions
How much of a motorcycle's total stopping power can the front brake provide?
- A About one-third
- B About half
- C 70% or more
- D About 40%
Show answer
C. 70% or more
The front brake can provide 70% or more of your total stopping power, because weight shifts forward onto the front tire as you slow. Use both brakes every time you slow or stop so that using the front brake firmly becomes a habit before an emergency.
According to the manual, what causes over one-half of motorcycle/car crashes?
- A Riders running out of fuel
- B Riders following too closely
- C Drivers violating the rider's right-of-way
- D Mechanical failure of the motorcycle
Show answer
C. Drivers violating the rider's right-of-way
Over one-half of motorcycle/car crashes are caused by drivers violating a rider's right-of-way. Cars turning left in front of you and cars pulling out of side streets are the biggest dangers, so intersections need your full attention.
How often should you do a T-CLOCS inspection of your motorcycle?
- A Only after the motorcycle has been serviced
- B Before every ride
- C Only before long trips
- D Once a month
Show answer
B. Before every ride
T-CLOCS (Tires and wheels, Controls, Lights and electrics, Oil and other fluids, Chassis, Stands) is a quick checklist to run before every ride. A minor failure that would only inconvenience a car driver can cause a motorcycle crash, so find it before you ride.
What is the minimum age to get a motorcycle learner permit in Oklahoma?
- A 15
- B 18
- C 14
- D 16
Show answer
C. 14
Oklahoma issues motorcycle learner permits from age 14. You must also pass the Class D written test, and applicants under 18 must complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. Permit holders under 16 face extra limits on riding hours, supervision, helmet use and engine size.
