Muharraq General Directorate of Traffic Motorcycle
Practice mode· Motorcycle skillsMuharraq General Directorate of Traffic - Bahrain Motorcycle Control Practice Test
Focused practice on motorcycle handling: balance, braking, cornering, gear use, positioning and low-speed control. Build the machine skills the theory test expects.
When riding at speed and you want to turn right, which steering input correctly initiates the turn?

- Q11Motorcycle control
What should a pillion passenger do to help the rider maintain control?
- ALean opposite to the turn to help counterbalance the motorcycle
- BHold firmly to the rider or grab handles, keep feet on the footpegs, and lean with the bike in corners
- CGrip the rider tightly around the neck to stay secure
- DPut their feet down at every stop to help stabilise the bike
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q12Motorcycle control
What happens to ground clearance as the lean angle of a motorcycle increases in a corner?
- AGround clearance increases because the bike rises on the outside tyre
- BGround clearance is unaffected because the frame geometry stays the same
- CGround clearance decreases; at high lean angles, footpegs or fairings can touch the road
- DGround clearance decreases only on the inside of the turn, not the outside

- Q13Motorcycle control
Braking distance increases significantly when:
- ASpeed increases by 10 km/h, which adds only a few centimetres to the stopping distance
- BSpeed doubles, because kinetic energy (and therefore stopping distance) increases fourfold
- CThe road is hot in summer, because heat makes tarmac softer and less grippy
- DThe rear tyre is slightly over-inflated by 5 PSI
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q14Motorcycle control
Why is smooth progressive throttle roll-on important when exiting a corner?
- AIt allows the engine to cool down after the effort of cornering
- BIt gradually loads the rear tyre, maintaining grip while the bike is still leaned over
- CIt signals to following traffic that you are accelerating safely
- DIt keeps the front brake active automatically via the engine management system
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q15Motorcycle control
How does riding with significantly under-inflated tyres affect motorcycle handling?
- AGrip improves because more tyre surface area contacts the road
- BBraking distances shorten because the tyre deforms and grips more
- CThe bike becomes sluggish to steer and more prone to sudden tyre collapse or blow-out
- DThe ride becomes smoother with no noticeable handling change
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q16Motorcycle control
Counter-steering becomes the dominant steering method above approximately which speed?
- AAbove approximately 80 km/h
- BAbove approximately 5 km/h
- CAbove approximately 20 km/h
- DOnly at motorway speeds above 120 km/h
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q17Motorcycle control
During a slow-speed U-turn, how should you manage the throttle?
- AKeep the throttle fully closed throughout and use momentum alone to complete the turn
- BOpen the throttle wide to spin through the turn quickly
- CApply a small constant throttle and use the rear brake to regulate speed, avoiding cutting the power completely
- DAlternate between full throttle and full rear brake in short bursts
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q18Motorcycle control
When you brake hard, the front suspension compresses and weight shifts forward. What effect does this have on steering?
- ASteering becomes lighter, making it easier to turn sharply during emergency braking
- BSteering becomes heavier and the bike wants to run wide; releasing the brakes progressively restores normal feel
- CThe rear wheel lifts, which automatically steers the bike to a stop in a straight line
- DThere is no effect on steering because the handlebars are not connected to the suspension
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q19Motorcycle control
On a hill start, what is the correct sequence of control actions before releasing the rear brake?
- ASelect first gear, release the clutch quickly, then release the rear brake
- BRelease the rear brake first, then bring up the clutch to prevent stalling
- CSelect first gear, squeeze the clutch, bring the clutch to the friction point until drive is felt, then release the rear brake while opening the throttle
- DSelect second gear for a smoother hill start, then release all controls together
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q20Motorcycle control
What is the effect of riding in a gear that is too low for the current speed on a highway?
- AThe bike becomes more stable at high speed because of higher engine braking
- BThrottle response improves without any negative effect
- CThe speedometer reads incorrectly because the gear ratio changes its calibration
- DEngine revs become excessively high, increasing fuel consumption, noise, and engine wear
