The above link will take you to the Pennsylvania DMW Motorcycle practice test. There are only 25 questions so it won't take you that long. Be honest and post your results and opinions of the test in your answer. Also, be respectful....be honest. I scored a 22 correct out of 25. I got question number 1, 13 & 22 wrong for a grade of 88%
I totally disagree with the correct answer given for # 22.

Nice one Ellwood!
I managed to get 5 wrong.
#1 Wear a helmet? We'll leave that one alone. BTW it's been said that most accidents occur close to home. Goes for autos too.
#8 Slow down? Being able to stop within your headlight is standard driving practice. Why should you have to slow down if you can still see?
#10 I'm not riding the grease strip because someone wants to pass. I'm not making any sudden, unexpected moves. I'm a vehicle too, and have a right to my own lane. That's why they pull out to pass.
#13 90 degrees? I prefer 45. My ride is safely parked, can be seen, and is less likely to stick out / get hit than at 90.
#19 I may be wrong, but isn't there a direct relationship between veering wide and improper braking? Seems that way to me when I ride. When I brake wrong, I go through the curve wrong.

Wow. I strongly disagree with what's presented as the "correct" answer for #21. NEVER NEVER NEVER drag your feet on the ground while you're moving! Not only can your feet get caught on any debris on the roadway, if your feet are on the ground that means they aren't on the pegs and therefore not covering the rear brake (and of course on a slippery surface you need to use more rear brake than would be necessary on a dry road).
Also, why the heck shouldn't a passenger talk to you? That doesn't make any sense. Communication between rider & copilot is necessary for a safe & enjoyable two-up ride IMO.
Best eye protection? A face shield, if and only if it is closed and part of a full-face helmet, otherwise it's goggles.
Oh, 19/25 per this "test", though I think with the answers as presented it has absolutely zero credibility.

ohh fun, I'll be right back. Darn, I got 19 out of 25. But I don't have a motorcycle so I guess I did pretty good.
1, 10,13,18,19,24
On all of those except 24 I was going to pick the correct answer at first, but especially 18 I can't believe they say the word "swerve" I know in Ca tests if they use the word it's automatically the wrong answer. hmm.

You got 21 correct out of a possible 25. You scored a 84%.
I got 10, 12, 13 (I don't know from degrees), and 21 wrong.

This test sucks...
I got #2 wrong. Goggles ARE better eye protection than a face shield - ever had a bee fly UP your face shield and sting you on the gace? I have. And, it was CRAWLING across my eyes!! But, this test claims a face sheild is better protecctiopn for the eyes. BOGUS!
#11 - lane sharing is perfectly acceptable - In Cali where I live. It isnt dangerous...not anymore than regular ridding if done safely and properly.
#21 - you should NEVER drag your feet on the ground when riding! You could get your foot caught on something and thus get ripped right off your bike or your leg broken. Not cool that they advise that!

I got two wrong, 19 and 25. #19: The main cuase of crashing is improper braking " especially when over shooting the corner", not veering to wide in a corner. #25 Always put begginers in the saddle of a ride not at the front, ride in a staggered position, and its best to keep groups small.
I have been riding for 30 plus years and have put over 400,000 miles on.

19 out of 25. It's been awhile since I took the test. There were a few questions that I wasn't sure about and had to guess. I can honestly say I have never been in an accident with my bike and hope to never have one.

Well I missed 2 of them. (21 & 22). 22 is weird. And I just guessed at 11. Some places lane sharing is acceptable.

I only got 17 correct... crazy! and I have been riding for 33 years... but then again I have not taken a test in years....
some of the questions ask what would you NOT do... like the speed wobble one... so you have to read them close...
I missed about all of lane sharing and lane changing ones...
also read a couple of them incorrectly... but I really need to study before my license is up...
