Florida Motorcycle: Right-of-Way Practice Test

Question 1

You are riding on an unpaved side road and reach an open intersection with a paved road that has no signs or signals. Who goes first?

Accepted Answer

Traffic on the paved road — you must yield — At an intersection with no control devices you give way when you are coming off an unpaved road onto a paved one, joining a state highway from a lesser road, or when another vehicle is already in the intersection.

Answer

You do, because you arrived on the smaller road

Answer

Whichever vehicle happens to be moving faster

Answer

Neither — both approaches must come to a complete stop

Question 2

What is the most common way that cars and motorcycles collide at intersections?

Accepted Answer

A car turns left across the motorcycle's path — The most frequent car-motorcycle crash happens when an oncoming car turns left across the path of a rider the driver did not see. Slow down, cover your brakes, and stay ready as you approach intersections.

Answer

The motorcycle rear-ends a stopped car

Answer

Both vehicles travel the same way at equal speed

Answer

A car slowly backs out of a driveway

Question 3

Someone is walking across the street inside a marked crosswalk ahead of your motorcycle. What must you do?

Accepted Answer

Stop and stay stopped until they have finished crossing — Riders owe the right of way to people on foot in any crosswalk or intersection. You also may not overtake a vehicle that has already stopped to let someone cross.

Answer

Sound the horn and ride around behind them

Answer

Slow to a walking pace and squeeze past

Answer

Carry on, since a green light gives you priority

Question 4

The acceleration lane is running out as you blend onto an expressway. Who must yield?

Accepted Answer

You must — traffic already on the highway has the right of way — Build speed on the ramp and in the acceleration lane, then blend in when a gap appears. Riders joining the highway give way to traffic already there, and stopping in the acceleration lane is a last resort.

Answer

Highway traffic has to move over for you

Answer

Neither, because merging is always shared equally

Answer

The vehicle in the slower lane must yield

Question 5

An emergency vehicle comes up behind you with its lights and siren on. What must you do on your motorcycle?

Accepted Answer

Pull over to the nearest edge of the road and stop until it passes — Yield the right-of-way: signal, move to the nearest edge of the road, and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. Do not try to outrun it or weave through traffic to get out of the way.

Answer

Speed up to stay ahead of it

Answer

Stop immediately in the middle of your lane

Answer

Ignore it and keep riding normally

Question 6

You are rolling your motorcycle out of a parking lot driveway onto the street. Who has the right of way?

Accepted Answer

Traffic already on the street, plus anyone on the sidewalk — A rider leaving a driveway, alley or roadside waits for vehicles on the main road, and also for anyone walking or cycling across the sidewalk and bike lane.

Answer

You do, once your front wheel reaches the roadway

Answer

Whichever vehicle is moving more slowly

Answer

You do, as long as your turn signal is already on

Question 7

At a two-way stop you are turning while another vehicle is heading straight through. What is the rule?

Accepted Answer

The turning vehicle waits for the one going straight — Where only two of the approaches carry stop signs, whoever is turning gives way to the through traffic.

Answer

The larger vehicle always goes first

Answer

The vehicle on the left goes first

Answer

Both must stop and then move off together

Question 8

At a four-way stop where two vehicles arrive at the same time, a motorcyclist should:

Accepted Answer

Yield to the vehicle on the right — Motorcycles follow the same right-of-way rules as other vehicles. When two arrive together, the vehicle on the left yields to the one on the right. Never simply assume other drivers will give you the right-of-way.

Answer

Always go first because a bike is quicker

Answer

Yield to the vehicle on the left

Answer

Roll through, since motorcycles are exempt

Question 9

A motorcyclist approaching a roundabout must do what?

Accepted Answer

Give way to vehicles already going around — Traffic inside the circle has the right of way, and everything moves counter-clockwise. If there is a gap you may enter without stopping; never stop or switch lanes inside the circle, and signal on your way out.

Answer

Stop completely at the entry line every time

Answer

Ride clockwise around the center island

Answer

Move to the inside lane while circulating
