Alabama Motorcycle License Practice Test 3

Question 1

BEFORE CHANGING LANES TO THE LEFT:

Accepted Answer

Check your left mirror and look to the left

Answer

Before changing lanes to the left, it is essential to check your left mirror and then perform a head check by looking over your left shoulder. While mirrors provide a good view, they have blind spots where other vehicles can be hidden. The head check ensures that your blind spot is clear, preventing a collision with a vehicle you might not have seen.

Question 2

TO PREDICT HOW A HAZARD MAY AFFECT YOU, IT'S IMPORTANT TO:

Accepted Answer

Know the speed, distance and direction that the hazard is moving

Answer

To effectively predict how a hazard may affect you, it's crucial to know its speed, distance, and direction of movement. This comprehensive understanding allows you to accurately assess the threat and anticipate its trajectory. With this information, you can make timely and informed decisions about adjusting your speed, lane position, or taking evasive action to avoid a collision.

Question 3

IN THIS PICTURE, YOU ARE PASSING PARKED CARS. THE GREATEST DANGER TO YOU IS:

Accepted Answer

A car pulling out

Answer

Without the specific 'picture,' when passing parked cars, the greatest danger is often a car suddenly pulling out from a parking spot. Drivers of parked cars may not see an approaching motorcycle, or they might misjudge its speed, creating an immediate and dangerous obstruction in your path. Always be prepared for this potential hazard.

Question 4

ON A PAVED TWO-LANE ROAD, SAND AND GRAVEL ARE MOST LIKELY TO COLLECT:

Accepted Answer

Near the sides of the road

Answer

On paved two-lane roads, sand and gravel are most likely to collect near the sides of the road. Vehicle traffic and environmental factors like wind and rain tend to push debris towards the edges of the lane. This makes riding too close to the shoulder or curb particularly hazardous for motorcycles due to reduced traction.

Question 5

IF YOU MUST STOP QUICKLY WHILE TURNING AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE MOTORCYCLE FIRST, APPLY THE:

Accepted Answer

Brakes harder as the lean is reduced

Answer

When turning, a motorcycle's tires have less traction available for braking because a significant portion is used for cornering. Applying brakes too hard while leaned over can cause a loss of traction and a fall. Therefore, it's safer to gradually reduce your lean angle, allowing more tire traction to become available for braking, and then apply the brakes more firmly as you straighten up.
