Show all 8 questions with answers
  1. 1. How should a motorcycle usually be parked next to a curb?

    Correct answer: At an angle, with the rear wheel to the curb

    Parking at an angle with the rear wheel to the curb keeps the bike stable and out of the traffic lane and makes it easier to pull away. On a hill, leave it in first gear so it will not roll.

  2. 2. What is the minimum distance you must leave between a parked motorcycle and a railroad crossing?

    Correct answer: 50 feet

    No vehicle may be left within 50 feet of a rail crossing. Trains need a wide clear zone, and anything parked closer can be struck.

  3. 3. You are rolling to a stop at a busy intersection and are about to put a boot down. What should you look at first?

    Correct answer: The pavement under your foot, which may hold oil or grease

    Oil drips collect where traffic sits still, and a boot landing on a slick patch can slide out from under you and drop the bike. Pick a clean spot to set your foot down when you stop or park.

  4. 4. How close to a fire hydrant may a motorcycle legally be parked in Florida?

    Correct answer: No closer than 15 feet

    Parking is banned within 15 feet of a hydrant. A small motorcycle is no exception, because the rule covers every vehicle.

  5. 5. Florida sets a minimum parking distance from an intersection. What is it?

    Correct answer: 20 feet

    Keep the bike at least 20 feet back from an intersection so it does not hide approaching traffic from drivers turning through it.

  6. 6. You need to pull off a rural highway to rest. What should you check before leaving the pavement?

    Correct answer: Whether the surface off the edge is firm enough to hold the bike

    Soft grass or loose sand can swallow a tire and let a side stand sink. Slow right down before turning onto anything you are unsure of, signal early, and get well clear of the traffic lanes.

  7. 7. What must a rider do before riding away from a parked position at the curb?

    Correct answer: Check that the road is clear, signal, and give way to traffic

    Traffic already moving on the road has the right of way. Look, signal your intention, and pull out only when a real gap opens.

  8. 8. The curb along the block where you want to leave your motorcycle is painted yellow. What does that mean?

    Correct answer: Parking is not allowed along that curb

    Yellow paint on a curb marks a no-parking zone, often near a hydrant or an intersection. Look for an unpainted stretch instead.
