    Oh it's all so confusing. I HATE how the road code people do that. Damn ambiguous question. Al Qaeda would sort em out.

    You will notice that there are a few questions that mean the same thing but asked in a different way...just have to read the questions thouroughly

    i agree. infact thats the answers i gave to both similar questions in my test and got correct.
    but surely with a bike like a cbr250rr, one would assume you already obtain a licence??

    More specifically

    Braking

    * Your brakes are the most important part on your motorcycle. Always check them before you ride.
    * Your most effective brake is your front brake, but the most effective way to bring your motorcycle to a stop is to use the front and rear brakes together. Use both brakes every time you slow down or stop.
    * Overbraking one or both wheels is one of the most common causes of skidding.

    No, based on that, the answer is still front.

    "Your most effective brake is your front brake"

    If the question was which brake(s) would you use to stop the most effectively...
