1. A flashing yellow arrow is showing for your left-turn movement. What does it allow?
Correct answer: Turning left once you have yielded to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians
The flashing yellow arrow permits the turn but gives you no protection at all: drivers coming the other way are still looking at a green light. Make the turn only once they and any pedestrians have gone by.

2. When you reach a crosswalk where a pedestrian is crossing, you must:
Correct answer: Stop and let the pedestrian finish crossing
Pedestrians in a crosswalk have the right of way. Stop and let them finish crossing before you proceed, giving them plenty of room and never trying to squeeze past.
3. A car is coming down an entrance ramp and will merge into the lane you occupy. What is the best response?
Correct answer: Give the driver room — change lanes if you can, or adjust speed to open a gap
Never take it for granted that a merging driver has picked your motorcycle out of the scenery. Move over if a lane is free, and if none is, change your speed so a comfortable gap opens for them.

4. At a High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk beacon, the two red lights begin flashing alternately. What is required of you?
Correct answer: Stop completely, then go once the crosswalk is clear of people
Alternating red flashes follow the pair of steady reds at a pedestrian hybrid beacon. They call for a complete stop; once the crosswalk is empty you may continue, and the beacon goes dark again until somebody presses the button.
5. As you ride up to a roundabout, who has the right of way?
Correct answer: Traffic already circulating inside the roundabout
The ordinary right-of-way rules still govern a roundabout. Give way to anything already going around the circle, enter to the right, and keep curving right until you reach the exit you want.
6. What is the most common type of collision between a car and a motorcycle?
Correct answer: An oncoming car turning left across the motorcycle's path
The most common car-motorcycle crash happens when an oncoming car turns left across the motorcycle's path, often because the driver did not see the motorcycle or misjudged its speed.

7. At an intersection, a rider should never assume that:
Correct answer: Other drivers see you and will give you the right of way
Intersections are the highest-risk location for riders. Never assume other drivers see you or will yield; be ready to slow, cover the brakes, and change position to avoid a collision.

8. The signal facing you is flashing red. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop fully, then go once you have yielded to people and vehicles
A flashing red works just like a stop sign. Halt completely, then move off only after you have let pedestrians and any other traffic at that junction take their turn.

9. What share of crashes between a car and a motorcycle happen because the driver moved into the rider's right of way?
Correct answer: Over half of them
More than half of them. Drivers pulling into space that belonged to the rider are the single biggest source of these collisions, which is why using the full width of your lane to make yourself obvious matters so much.

10. A green arrow pointing left appears as you enter an intersection. Before you complete the turn you must:
Correct answer: Let pedestrians finish crossing and yield to vehicles still in the intersection
A green arrow releases you to travel the way it points, but only after you have stopped for pedestrians and given way to any vehicle still sitting inside the intersection.
