Sample questions
According to the motorcycle manual, what is the single most important thing you can do to improve your chances of surviving a crash?
- A Wear a securely fastened, quality helmet
- B Wear a leather jacket and pants
- C Wear high, sturdy boots that cover your ankles
- D Ride with your headlight on at all times
Show answer
A. Wear a securely fastened, quality helmet
The manual says the single most important thing you can do to improve your chances in a crash is wear a securely fastened, quality helmet. Head and neck injuries account for most serious and fatal rider injuries, and an unfastened helmet can fly off before it protects you.
The front wheel locks while you are braking hard. What should you do?
- A Hold the front brake and press harder on the rear
- B Ease off the front brake slowly over the next several seconds
- C Release the front brake at once, then reapply it smoothly
- D Keep holding the front brake and steer straight
Show answer
C. Release the front brake at once, then reapply it smoothly
A front-wheel skid causes an immediate loss of steering control and balance. Release the front brake lever fully and immediately, then reapply it smoothly with less pressure. Failing to release it right away will result in a crash.
Under Oklahoma law, what is the lowest blood or breath alcohol level at which a 19-year-old rider is breaking the law?
- A A BAC of 0.08
- B Any measurable amount of alcohol
- C A BAC of 0.05
- D A BAC of 0.02
Show answer
B. Any measurable amount of alcohol
Oklahoma has zero tolerance for drivers and riders under 21: any measurable amount of alcohol is illegal, and the license is revoked even without a DUI conviction in court. The MSF manual notes that under-21 limits differ between states, so learn Oklahoma's rule rather than a national one.

During a hard straight-line stop, how should you use the rear brake?
- A Not at all; use the front brake alone
- B With full pressure first, before using the front brake
- C With harder and harder pressure as the motorcycle slows
- D With light-to-lighter pressure to prevent a rear-wheel skid
Show answer
D. With light-to-lighter pressure to prevent a rear-wheel skid
As the motorcycle's weight transfers forward, the front tire gains traction and the rear tire loses it. So squeeze the front brake progressively harder while easing up on the rear, using light-to-lighter pressure to avoid locking the rear wheel.
