Question 1

You are riding through an intersection when the traffic light turns amber. Under New Zealand road rules, what should you generally do?

Accepted Answer

Stop before the stop line if it is safe to do so

An amber light means stop if you can do so safely — accelerating through is dangerous and can result in a collision with crossing traffic.

Question 2

On a wet road, you approach a painted pedestrian crossing. Why is this surface especially hazardous for motorcyclists?

Accepted Answer

Painted surfaces become extremely slippery when wet, reducing tyre grip

Answer

Painted road markings become very slippery when wet, significantly reducing the grip available to motorcycle tyres.

Question 3

You notice a car ahead has a rear indicator flashing to turn right across your path. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Slow down and give the car time and space to complete the turn

Even if you have right of way, slowing down and giving space reduces collision risk if the driver misjudges your speed.

Fatigue severely impairs reaction time and judgment; pulling over and resting is the only safe solution.
