Reversing into angled bays with the front facing out allows you to ride forward to exit, improving visibility and safety.
A rider parks a motorbike and forgets to turn off the fuel tap on a carbureted model. What is the main risk?
Answer: Fuel can flood the engine or leak, creating a fire hazard
Leaving the fuel tap open on older carbureted bikes can cause fuel to flood into the engine or leak, posing a fire risk.
In which situation is it legal to park a motorbike in a 'Disabled Parking' space?

A disabled parking space may be used by any vehicle, including a motorbike, if a valid mobility parking permit is displayed.
When parking a motorbike for an extended period, what should be done to protect the battery?
Answer: Disconnect the battery or use a trickle charger
Disconnecting the battery or connecting a maintenance trickle charger prevents discharge during long-term storage.
What visual check should a rider perform after selecting a parking spot on soft ground?
Answer: Assess whether the side stand will sink and use a stand plate if needed
Soft ground can allow the side stand to sink, causing the bike to fall, so a stand plate distributes the load.
You park a motorbike in a shared zone. A pedestrian asks you to move because it is partially blocking their path. What should you do?
