FREE Utah DMV Motorcycle Practice Test 2024 Page 3 of 4
Welcome to the State of Utah's free Motorcycle Endorsement Practice Test. The questions on this test are drawn from the Utah Motorcycle Handbook, which can be found online. Although passing this test will help you prepare for the state exam, it does not guarantee that you will pass the state exam. Our practice questions are all multiple-choice, just like the real test. For each question, you have a choice of four different answers. Read each response thoroughly before making your final decision. When you've chosen the proper answer, you'll go on to the next question. We'll show you the correct answer and explain why if you choose the wrong one. If you get any incorrect answers, it's a good idea to go back over that section of the guidebook. If you need assistance answering a question, read the guidelines provided to help you choose an answer. You will pass our practice exam if you correctly answer 20 of the 25 questions. You can take this practice test as many times as you want to help you prepare for the real test.

13 . When passing a row of parked cars to your right when there is no oncoming traffic to your left, you should:
Use your rearview mirrors more frequently than usual.
When passing a row of parked cars, it is generally best to stay on the side of your lane that is not directly next to the cars. This will help to protect you from potential hazards like car doors being opened or people stepping out from between the cars. If there is traffic coming from the opposite direction, it is a good idea to stay in the center portion of the lane.
14 . When the road is slippery, maintain a following distance of at least:
Ten seconds.
An expanded cushion of space is needed if your motorcycle will take longer than normal to stop. If the pavement is slippery, if you cannot see through the vehicle ahead of you, or if traffic is heavy and another driver may try to squeeze in front of you, open up to a minimum three-second following distance.
15 . Your lane position should:
Hide your intentions from other drivers.
A properly chosen lane position can optimize a number of safety factors. Your lane position should keep you out of other vehicles’ blind spots, increase your ability to see and be seen, help you avoid surface hazards, help you avoid wind blasts from other vehicles, and provide you with an escape route from any hazards that might arise. You should be positioned in a way that discourages other drivers from trying to share your lane.
16 . If your motorcycle is being chased by a dog, you should:
Approach the dog slowly, then speed up.
If you are being chased by a dog, downshift and approach it slowly. Then, as you approach the dog, accelerate and leave it behind. If you encounter a larger animal, brake and prepare to stop.
17 . When riding at night, a motorcyclist should:
All of the above.
Riding at night can be dangerous because a rider’s ability to see and be seen by fellow motor vehicle operators is limited. It is recommended that riders adjust their riding behavior to compensate for this limited visibility by reducing their speed, maximizing their headlight usage, and increasing their following distance.
18 . This road sign means:
Pass only in the right lane.
This sign indicates a merge ahead. It warns that two lanes of traffic moving in the same direction are about to become one.
