Sample questions
Who must wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle on a Utah public street?
- A Anyone under 18
- B Everyone, at every age
- C Only the operator, not passengers
- D Anyone under 21
Show answer
D. Anyone under 21
In Utah it is illegal for anyone under 21 to operate or ride a motorcycle on a public street or highway without a helmet that meets federal standards. Everyone is encouraged to wear one, because head and neck injuries account for most serious and fatal motorcycle injuries.
On a typical motorcycle, what share of your total stopping power can the front brake supply?
- A About one-third
- B About 40%
- C 70% or more
- D About half
Show answer
C. 70% or more
The front brake can provide 70% or more of your stopping power. When you brake, weight shifts forward onto the front tire and gives it more grip. Riders who avoid the front brake take much longer to stop.

Utah requires motorcycle tires to have at least 2/32 inch of tread. Tread condition is part of the T-CLOCS pre-ride check, so look at it before every ride.
