You are riding toward a roundabout. A vehicle inside the roundabout is on your right. Who has priority?
Answer: The vehicle already in the roundabout has priority
In New Zealand, you must give way to all traffic already circulating inside a roundabout.
You are riding in heavy rain and your visor is fogging up from inside. What is the safest immediate action?
Answer: Open the visor slightly or use an anti-fog insert to clear vision
Opening the visor slightly increases airflow and reduces interior fog, or using an anti-fog insert prevents fogging altogether.
You are riding behind a vehicle that repeatedly brakes unnecessarily. What hazard management technique should you apply?
Answer: Increase following distance to give yourself more reaction time
Increasing your following distance gives you more time to react to unpredictable braking from the vehicle ahead.
On a multi-lane road, you are riding in the left lane when a vehicle merges from an on-ramp. What is the safest response?
Answer: Move to the right lane if safe, or adjust speed to let the vehicle merge
Cooperating with merging traffic by changing lanes or adjusting speed reduces conflict and collision risk.
You smell petrol while riding and suspect a fuel leak on your motorcycle. What should you do?
Answer: Pull over immediately in a safe location, switch off the engine, and do not smoke
A petrol smell indicates a possible fuel leak which is a serious fire risk; stop immediately, kill the engine, and stay away from ignition sources.
You are riding at dusk and notice your shadow is very long ahead of you. What does this tell you about your visibility to other road users?
Answer: The low sun angle may make you very hard for oncoming drivers to see
At dusk, low sun angles can blind oncoming drivers who may be looking directly into the sun, making you very difficult to see.
You are approaching an unmarked intersection where two roads of similar size meet. Who has right of way under New Zealand road rules?
Answer: You must give way to vehicles coming from your right
At unmarked intersections in New Zealand, you must give way to any vehicle coming from your right.
