Learner Licence specialist question?

[scracha]

Anyone who doesn't answer a, a (unless it's icy or gravel) needs to go back to riding school.

People have different opinions about the brakin issues but you have to realise that the road code has only one answer. What is written in there and what is actually practised are two different things...so I found out

[Toaster]

The thing that concerns me..... if you have ever ridden a bike, you will clearly know the answer unless you brake incorrectly.

Front is the most powerful and effective. Just look at the caliper for a start. Always brake front first then ease on the rear. Avoids lockups on the rear and gets the weight forward.

I recall a fatal a while back where a newbie only used his rear brake in an emergency stop. He subsequently slid into a truck and killed himself.... nice long skid mark from the rear tyre along the road. Riding too fast for that particular road and corner as well as his inexperence in emergency braking cost him dearly.

[MSTRS:Me]

Yes mistress.

I never said a word....you're imagining things.

[Stickchick]

Ok so how did you go?

[ManDownUnder]

I could be a real bastard here and ask about the most powerful brake... how do you know it's the front...

What if the front is a drum brake (or a bicycle caliper brake) and the rear has twin 350mm disks brakes on it? Technically it would be the rear brake (in this strange beast) that is the most powerful.


Otherwsie front front (if the "which" refers to which brake), otherwise c, c if referring to which option. Well done to the moron designing that question. It's bad enough with English as a first language...

I'm sure you've already sat and passed your test today with flying colours and will know if your answers were correct....

For anyone else reading this thread, you can test yourself online with the licence test questions here

The only questions not included on there are the diagram give way ones - you need the printed roadcode book for that. It's a good website as you can select your answers and get them checked by the site so you know if you are right or wrong.

If you ride a Blackbird, or a newer Viffer - you'd may struggle to answer this one! Dual Combined Braking systems etc.


But definitely A.

If you answered B - go buy a push bike.

Damn I can't believe you babyblade250rr... You're not serious are you???????? You're only just doing your learners today?????????? No wonder you didn't want to go for a ride with me just yet!!! hahahahaha !!!!!!!

What the hell did you tell Red Baron when they asked to see your license?? I assume that means you didn't get to test ride before you bought.... You're so lucky you didn't get a lemon, then again you did have carburettor troubles. Oh well, live and learn my friend.

P.S. Learner test is easy, Use your head (Prolly too late for this now I assume you've already been). Most powerful brake = front. Which brake to use when stopping = both. You can carry a pillion = full license. Max speed = 70kph. Quickest stops = Progressive braking in a straight line. Stopping in the wet/over oil/diesel = Start braking sooner than usual. Best bikes on for the road = Road bikes. etc, etc, etc. Every question has 1 good answer and 3 dumb answers.

[babyblade250rr]

nope just got my learners, bike was test riddin by a friend for me was ok at the time of test riding must be coinsidental with the carbs red baron don't need a motorcycle licence to sell a bike if cash is paid (they do when financing) and my cage licence was used as identity verification!

Anyhow nuff said i'm on my way now
