Lets’s Start….
This is known as a box junction. To ensure the smooth flow of traffic in all directions, it must be kept clear. You may only stay in this junction if you are waiting to turn right and are prevented from doing so by other vehicles waiting to turn right or by oncoming traffic. [Section 10, “Rules of the road”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Catalytic converters make motorbikes much more environmentally friendly by reducing harmful emissions from the exhaust system. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
If you’re about to undertake a long journey, it’s important that you carry out essential checks before you start. These include oil, water, and tyre checks. These checks reduce the chance of a breakdown occurring during the journey. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
It can feel worrying to have a car close to your motorbike, but don’t be tempted to drive too quickly. Slow down and increase the space between you and the vehicle in front, which will increase your safety margin. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Know your hand signals; you or other drivers may need to use them in poor visibility or if the indicators are faulty. An anticlockwise circular motion with the right arm indicates that the driver in front intends to move in to the left or turn left. [Section 7, “Other types of vehicle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
The tread of your tyre helps it grip the road. On a motorbike, it must be at least 1 mm across 75% of the width of the tread pattern. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
It is a legal requirement to keep your motorcycle roadworthy. Keeping your motorcycle well maintained can help identify or prevent developing faults. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
You should position your motorbike to the left of the centre of the lane well in advance of the exit. This allows for easier access to the exit slip road as well as signalling your intentions to other motorway users. [Section 9, “Motorway riding”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]

ArrayWhile ambulances, fire engines, and police cars have red beacons, a doctor on an emergency call can use a green beacon. You should treat the doctor’s vehicle as you would other emergency vehicles. [Section 13 , “Incidents, accidents and emergencies” , The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Indicators should be used only before executing a manoeuvre and then cancelled immediately afterwards. Failure to do so can confuse other road users, which can lead to serious or even fatal road accidents. [Section 2, “Attitude”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
When it is hot, it is tempting to wear cooler clothing, but you should always put your safety first by wearing your normal protective equipment. [Section 1, “Alertness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Nobody has right of way if the traffic signals are not working. Look both ways and ride on cautiously when it’s safe to do so. Be prepared to stop if required. [Section 10, “Rules of the road”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Carbon emissions from road traffic account for 20% of total emissions. This can have a significant impact upon our environment, so try to ride your motorbike in as economical a fashion as possible. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
The wheel alignment should always be checked after a new wheel has been fitted to a motorbike. Incorrect alignment can lead to poor grip and handling and increased fuel consumption. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
In rainy weather, you should leave at least four seconds between you and the vehicle in front. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]

Your engine cut-out switch or kill switch should only be used to stop the engine in an emergency; for example, if your motorbike has been in a road traffic incident. Do not overuse the switch or put a strain on it. [Section 13, “Incidents, accidents and emergencies”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
A reflective jacket or clothing with reflective stripes is especially important at night or in times of poor visibility. [Section 8, “Road conditions and motorcycle handling”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
A red traffic light will be followed by red and amber lights illuminated at the same time. Do not move off until the traffic light turns green. [Section 11, “Road and traffic signs”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
In good conditions, the typical braking distance at 50 mph is 125 feet (38 metres). The typical stopping distance, however, is 175 feet (53 metres) because it includes both thinking distance and braking distance. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
The painted areas of mini-roundabouts can be slippery, especially if it has been raining. Avoid riding along them. [Section 8, “Road conditions and motorcycle handling”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
For a cable-operated clutch to work effectively, the cable should always be kept adequately lubricated. Failure to do so can result in it becoming stiff and unresponsive. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
It is important to optimise your vision when you are riding at night. Do not wear anything that could impair your vision at night, such as dark glasses, visors, or lenses. [Section 8, “Road conditions and motorcycle handling”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Your motorbike should only be in the outside lane if you are overtaking another vehicle. Once you have done so, you should move back into the inner lanes when it is safe to do so. [Section 9, “Motorway riding”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Lack of experience can lead to poor judgement on the road. Even after you have passed the motorcycle driving test, it may be worth taking advanced driving lessons to build up experience. [Section 1, “Alertness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
When approaching a bend, you should position your motorbike towards the left of the road, giving you a better view of the road ahead and allowing better planning. [Section 5,”Hazard awareness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
You should only use your horn to alert other road users to your presence if danger could otherwise occur. Do not use your horn in a built-up area between 11.30 p.m. and 7.00 a.m., and do not use it when you are stationary unless there is danger from a moving vehicle. [Section 2, “Attitude”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
As the rider of the motorcycle, it is your duty to ensure that junctions are clear before you proceed. Never rely on a passenger without double-checking for yourself. The passenger may have a poor view or may not know what a suitable gap in traffic should be. [Section 14, “Motorcycle loading”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Snow can have an adverse effect on a bike’s handling and stopping distances. Think about whether you can postpone the journey for another day. [Section 5, “Hazard awareness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]

A green light is your signal to proceed. However, you must not block the road ahead. If the way ahead is blocked, you must wait at the stop line until the way becomes clear, even if you must wait for the traffic signal to go through its sequence and become green again. [Section 10, “Rules of the road”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
A brown background indicates that the sign is showing the recommended route to a tourist destination. [Section 11, “Road and traffic signs”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]

Your motorbike’s headlight should not be flashed to encourage other vehicles to move, but only to alert them to your presence if necessary. [Section 2, “Attitude”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Always use both mirrors before decelerating to a stop, because traffic could be approaching from both sides, including bicycles approaching on your left. Only stop when it is safe to do so. [Section 6, “Vulnerable road users”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Buses may leave patches of oil after stopping and starting off from bus stops. To reduce the risk of skidding, avoid bus stop zones if possible. [Section 8, “Road conditions and motorcycle handling”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
When your visor becomes fogged up, it will obscure your vision, which can quickly become dangerous. Pull over when it is safe to do so and clean your visor to remove the fogging. [Section 1, “Alertness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
The typical stopping distance at 40 miles per hour is 120 feet (36 metres). This includes 12 metres’ thinking time followed by 24 metres’ braking time. Always plan well ahead. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Traffic could be coming from both directions, so look in both directions. Ride slowly and be prepared to stop if necessary. Be extra vigilant if there are obstacles such as trees obscuring your vision. [Section 10, “Rules of the road”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
On icy roads, your motorbike may take ten times as long to stop, so be extra cautious when driving in icy conditions. It may be worth postponing your journey until road conditions improve. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Heavy braking can reduce your tyres’ grip of the road, resulting in skidding. Look ahead, be aware of dangers, and brake smoothly and in time. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Oil on the front forks could easily get on your tyres, causing you to lose control of your motorbike. Take action if you see oil on your front forks. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
You should slow down before going around a bend. Otherwise, you may have to brake in the bend, which is risky. [Section 5, “Hazard awareness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Lifesavers show you what is in the blind spots that your mirrors can’t show. Always take a lifesaver glance before moving off, as cyclists or other vehicles might be about to come past. [Section 1, “Alertness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
New tyres feature a shiny finish which can have reduced grip until the finish is worn away. Ride your motorbike carefully until this shiny surface has been worn, and avoid riding with new tyres in slippery conditions. [Section 3, “Safety and your motorcycle”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Aquaplaning occurs when water builds up between the tyre and the road, severely reducing the tyre’s grip. Ease off the throttle gently and smoothly until you regain control. [Section 4, “Safety margins”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Helmet visors can become scratched over time. When the visor is scratched, it should be replaced before it can impair your vision while you are riding. [Section 1, “Alertness”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
Greater road visibility leads to greater road safety. Studies show that fluorescent clothing makes a motorbike rider more visible, even during daylight hours. [Section 8, “Road conditions and motorcycle handling”, The Official DVSA Theory Test For Motorcyclists.]
