- Q11Motorcycle control
How does adding a pillion passenger affect the motorcycle's cornering geometry and lean angle requirement?
- AThe extra weight lowers the centre of gravity, making the bike more stable and requiring less lean
- BThere is no effect on lean angle; only tyre pressure changes with extra load
- CA pillion passenger always makes the bike safer in corners by adding gyroscopic mass
- DThe combined centre of gravity rises and moves rearward, requiring slightly more lean to maintain the same cornering arc and potentially upsetting balance if the passenger moves unexpectedly

- Q12Motorcycle control
What gear should you normally be in when approaching a roundabout at which you intend to stop?
- AStay in your current gear and rely entirely on the brakes to stop
- BPull in the clutch early, coast to the roundabout in neutral, and stop
- CAlways approach a roundabout in third gear regardless of your speed
- DWork down through the gears to first gear or neutral as you slow, matching engine speed to road speed to avoid stalling

What is the correct body position when performing a slow U-turn on a motorcycle in a limited space?
- ALean your body to the outside of the turn to keep the bike more vertical
- BLean heavily into the turn exactly as you would at high speed
- CSit rigidly upright and do not move your head until the turn is complete
- DKeep your upper body upright or lean slightly inward while turning your head fully toward the exit point

- Q14Motorcycle control
A pothole appears directly in your path on a Saudi expressway at 100 km/h. You cannot stop in time. What should you do?
- AApply both brakes firmly to slow as much as possible, then ride through the pothole
- BSwerve violently to the adjacent lane without checking mirrors
- CApply the front brake only to keep weight on the front for better contact
- DIf unavoidable, grip the tank with your knees, slightly lighten grip on bars, keep the throttle steady, and allow the suspension to absorb the impact rather than braking sharply into the hole

- Q15Motorcycle control
What can happen if you downshift without blipping the throttle, letting the engine revs drop too low for the lower gear?
- AThe engine absorbs the mismatch harmlessly with no effect on the rear wheel
- BThe front wheel lifts off the ground, making it easier to turn
- CThe gearbox is protected because the low revs cushion the engagement
- DWhen the clutch is released, engine braking can make the rear wheel lock momentarily or hop, causing instability especially in a corner
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q16Motorcycle control
Which tyre on a motorcycle provides the majority of braking force under normal conditions?
- AThe front tyre, because weight transfers forward under braking, increasing its grip
- BThe rear tyre, because it is wider and has a larger contact area
- CBoth tyres contribute exactly equally in all conditions
- DThe rear tyre, because applying the front brake first causes the bike to pitch over

- Q17Motorcycle control
How should you adjust your riding line when entering a left-hand bend on a two-lane Saudi road?
- AApproach from the left side of your lane and cut across the centre line at the apex
- BAlways ride in the centre of the lane regardless of the bend direction
- CApproach from the left side and swing wide to the right on exit for greater speed
- DApproach from the right side of your lane to give a wider view of the bend and a gentler arc, then exit toward the right of your lane
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q18Motorcycle control
During an emergency stop, your front wheel begins to skid. What should you do immediately?
- ARelease both brakes completely and allow the bike to roll to a stop
- BEase off the front brake slightly to allow the tyre to regain rotation, then reapply progressively
- CMaintain full front brake pressure because ABS will correct the skid automatically on all bikes
- DSteer sharply to one side to scrub speed while the front is skidding
Answer and explanation in the bank
- Q19Motorcycle control
What is the purpose of looking through the bend rather than at the road directly in front of the wheel during cornering?
- AIt prevents the rider from being distracted by surface hazards
- BIt is a legal requirement in Saudi Arabia to look ahead during cornering
- CLooking through the bend keeps the helmet visor clear of dust
- DIt allows the rider to identify the correct exit line earlier and feed in steering inputs smoothly, producing a flowing arc

- Q20Motorcycle control
What is the main danger of crossing a painted road marking (such as a broken or solid white line) on a motorcycle?
- APaint markings have significantly less grip than bare tarmac, especially when wet or dusty, increasing the risk of a slide
- BPaint markings have raised edges that can catch the tyre and deflect the wheel
- CThere is no grip difference; the risk is purely legal (crossing solid lines)
- DPainted lines cause vibration through the handlebars but do not affect grip
