Question 1 of 3What should you do when you see this sign at a crossroads?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

When traffic lights are out of order, treat the junction as an unmarked crossroads. Be very careful and be prepared to stop; no-one has priority.

Question 2 of 3Where would you see this sign?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

Watch out for children crossing the road from the other side of the bus.

Question 3 of 3What colour are the reflective studs between the lanes on a motorway?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

White studs are found between the lanes on motorways. They reflect back the light from your headlights. This is especially useful in bad weather, when visibility is restricted.

Prepare as a rider, not as a car driver

The rules are shared, but positioning, visibility, braking and protective equipment must be judged from a motorcycle's smaller safety margin.

1

Position and visibility

Choose a position that improves your view and helps others see you, while preserving room to avoid drains, diesel, loose surfaces and opening doors.

2

Machine control

Connect tyre grip, braking balance, cornering and weather to the action a rider can safely take. Add pillions or luggage only after considering their effect on handling.

3

Rider-specific hazards

Practise recognising junction threats, filtering conflicts, crosswinds and poor road surfaces early enough to reduce speed smoothly and keep an escape route.
