Your front tire blows while you are travelling. What must you do?
-
Shift your weight to the front.
-
Do not shift your weight.
-
Shift your weight backward. Keep firm hold of the handlebars, continue to travel in a straight line, and gradually close the throttle.
Correct Answer
A. Shift your weight backward. Keep firm hold of the handlebars, continue to travel in a straight line, and gradually close the throttle.Explanation
When the front tire blows while traveling, shifting your weight backward helps to maintain balance and stability. Keeping a firm hold of the handlebars allows you to maintain control of the bike. Continuing to travel in a straight line prevents any sudden movements that may cause loss of control. Gradually closing the throttle reduces the speed and allows for a smoother deceleration. Overall, these actions help to safely manage the situation and minimize the risk of a crash.Rate this question:

Under good conditions, when driving behind any vehicle, at any speed, you should -
-
Stay at least two to three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.
-
Drive as close to the vehicle in front as possible.
-
Stay one second behind the vehicle in front of you.
Correct Answer
A. Stay at least two to three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.Explanation
When driving behind any vehicle, it is important to maintain a safe following distance. Staying at least two to three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you allows for enough time to react and stop if necessary. This distance provides a buffer zone in case the vehicle ahead suddenly brakes or encounters any other unexpected situation. Driving too close to the vehicle in front increases the risk of a rear-end collision, while staying only one second behind does not provide enough time to react in case of an emergency. Therefore, the safest option is to stay at least two to three seconds behind the vehicle in front of you.Rate this question:

What are the causes of accidents on road.
-
Over speeding
-
Drinking and driving
-
Bike driven by unauthorized person
-
All the above
Correct Answer
A. All the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "All the above" because all of the mentioned factors contribute to accidents on the road. Over speeding increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle and reduces the driver's ability to react to unexpected situations. Drinking and driving impairs judgment, coordination, and reaction time, making it dangerous for both the driver and other road users. Bike driven by an unauthorized person can lack proper training and experience, leading to reckless behavior and increased chances of accidents. Therefore, all of these causes can individually or collectively contribute to road accidents.Rate this question:

If you are driving and it starts to rain, you should –
-
Put your lights on high beam so you can see better.
-
Put your hazard warning lights on and increase your speed to avoid the rain.
-
Slow down using the brake gently, since rain and oil may create a slippery surface.
Correct Answer
A. Slow down using the brake gently, since rain and oil may create a slippery surface.Explanation
When it starts to rain while driving, it is important to slow down using the brake gently. This is because rainwater can mix with oil on the road surface, creating a slippery surface that reduces traction. By slowing down and using the brake gently, you can maintain better control of the vehicle and reduce the risk of skidding or losing control. Putting your lights on high beam or increasing your speed to avoid the rain are not safe options and can increase the risk of accidents.Rate this question:

What should you be able to see in each mirror fitted to your motorcycle?
-
About half of the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you.
-
The lane behind.
-
Your shoulder and the lane behind.
Correct Answer
A. About half of the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you.Explanation
When riding a motorcycle, it is important to have a clear view of the surrounding traffic. The correct answer states that you should be able to see about half of the lane behind you and as much as possible of the lane next to you in each mirror fitted to your motorcycle. This is because having a wide field of vision in the mirrors allows you to be aware of vehicles approaching from behind as well as those in the adjacent lane. By having this visibility, you can make informed decisions and maneuver safely on the road.Rate this question:

As per motor vehicle act what is safe speed limit for motorbike.
-
30
-
40
-
50
-
None of above
Correct Answer
A. 40Explanation
According to the motor vehicle act, the safe speed limit for a motorbike is 40. This means that motorbike riders should not exceed this speed in order to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road. Going above this speed limit can increase the risk of accidents and make it more difficult to control the motorbike. It is important for motorbike riders to adhere to speed limits in order to maintain road safety.Rate this question:

You are driving on downhill and no pedestrian or vehicle is on road and road is in very good condition, can you drive in Neutral?
-
Yes
-
No
Correct Answer
A. NoExplanation
Driving in neutral on a downhill is not recommended because it eliminates engine braking, which is essential for maintaining control and reducing speed. Without engine braking, the vehicle may gain excessive speed, making it difficult to stop or maneuver in case of any unexpected obstacles or emergencies. Additionally, using neutral while driving can also prevent the driver from accelerating quickly if needed. Therefore, it is safer to drive in gear rather than in neutral while going downhill.Rate this question:

When driving past parked vehicles, which of the following is it most important to do –
-
Drive in the right-hand lane, if there is one.
-
Watch for pedestrians, animals and car doors opening.
-
Stay as close as possible to the vehicle in front of you.
Correct Answer
A. Watch for pedestrians, animals and car doors opening.Explanation
When driving past parked vehicles, it is most important to watch for pedestrians, animals, and car doors opening. This is crucial because pedestrians may unexpectedly cross the road, animals may run out from between parked cars, and car doors may suddenly open, posing a risk of collision. By being vigilant and anticipating these potential hazards, drivers can take necessary precautions to ensure the safety of themselves, pedestrians, and other road users. Driving in the right-hand lane, if available, and maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front are also important, but not as critical as watching for potential hazards.Rate this question:

What is meant by this sign on or near a bridge?
-
Stop always before crossing the bridge and only give way to pedestrians who may be crossing.
-
Slow down and be prepared to give way to vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
-
Do not overtake a vehicle travelling in the same direction.
Correct Answer
A. Slow down and be prepared to give way to vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.Explanation
The sign on or near a bridge indicates that drivers should slow down and be prepared to give way to vehicles traveling in the opposite direction. This is important because bridges often have limited space and visibility, making it necessary for vehicles to slow down and yield to oncoming traffic to ensure safe passage. Overtaking a vehicle traveling in the same direction may not be safe due to the narrowness of the bridge, so it is advised to exercise caution and prioritize the safety of all vehicles on the bridge.Rate this question:

At low speeds, if the rear tyre goes flat what is the first thing you will notice?
-
The rear of the motorcycle will tend to slide from side to side.
-
The steering will feel heavy.
-
Your brakes will not work.
-
You will stop your motor cycle and check
Correct Answer
A. The rear of the motorcycle will tend to slide from side to side.Explanation
If the rear tire goes flat at low speeds, the first thing you will notice is that the rear of the motorcycle will tend to slide from side to side. This is because the flat tire will cause a loss of traction, leading to instability in the rear of the motorcycle. As a result, the bike will become difficult to control and may start to sway or slide sideways. It is important to be cautious and take immediate action to address the flat tire in order to ensure safety while riding.Rate this question:

What equipment must be fitted to a motorcycle if pillion passengers are to be carried?
-
Separate footrests and a pillion seat.
-
Heavy duty shock absorbers.
-
An engine of more than 250ml capacity.
-
Helmet
Correct Answer
A. Separate footrests and a pillion seat.Explanation
To ensure the safety and comfort of pillion passengers, it is necessary to have separate footrests and a pillion seat on a motorcycle. Separate footrests allow the passenger to have a stable and secure footing, while a pillion seat provides a designated space for the passenger to sit. These features help to distribute the weight evenly and maintain balance while carrying a passenger. Heavy-duty shock absorbers are not specifically required for carrying pillion passengers, as they are more related to the suspension system of the motorcycle. The engine capacity and wearing a helmet are also important factors for motorcycle safety, but they are not directly related to carrying pillion passengers.Rate this question:
