RTT Accidents and Emergency Procedures 4

Question 1

You experience sudden, violent front-wheel wobble (speed wobble) on the highway. You should:

Grip firmly, roll off the throttle smoothly, and avoid braking hard

Answer

Rolling off the throttle gradually reduces speed without the abrupt force changes that can worsen a speed wobble.

Question 2

If your engine seizes while riding, you should expect:

Accepted Answer

The rear wheel to lock up suddenly

Answer

An engine seizure can abruptly lock the rear wheel, creating a skid similar to full rear-brake application.

Question 3

You are first on the scene of a crash. After calling 911, you should next:

Accepted Answer

Assess scene safety before approaching injured riders

Answer

Scene safety must always be confirmed before approaching to avoid a rescuer becoming an additional victim.

Question 4

When is laying a motorcycle down intentionally considered a valid last resort?

Accepted Answer

Almost never — controlled braking almost always produces a better outcome

Answer

Modern braking research shows controlled braking nearly always yields shorter stopping distances and fewer injuries than intentional lay-downs.

Question 5

After a collision, shock in a rider may present as:

Accepted Answer

Pale skin, rapid pulse, confusion, and cool clammy skin

Shock reduces blood pressure and perfusion, causing pallor, rapid weak pulse, confusion, and cool clammy skin.
