Q1. What is a 'lifesaver' check on a motorcycle?
A. Testing both brakes as soon as you move away
B. A final check of your mirrors before setting off
C. A quick look at your instruments to confirm your speed
D. A glance over your shoulder into the blind spot before changing direction
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: D. A glance over your shoulder into the blind spot before changing direction
The lifesaver is a look over your shoulder into the area your mirrors cannot show, made just before you change direction. Mirrors alone leave blind spots large enough to hide a car or another motorcycle, so the shoulder check is what actually confirms the space is clear.
Q2. Your CBT certificate runs out before you've passed your full motorcycle test. What must you do to keep riding on the road?
A. Apply for a one-year extension from DVSA
B. Pass the theory test to renew it automatically
C. Retake and complete CBT again
D. Nothing, provided you display L-plates
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C. Retake and complete CBT again
There is no extension or renewal system — once the two-year certificate expires you must complete the full CBT course again to ride legally as a learner. A theory test pass doesn't validate an expired CBT.
Q3. What emissions standard do brand-new petrol motorcycles sold in the UK currently have to meet?
A. Euro 6d for motorcycles
B. Euro 5
C. There is no emissions standard for motorcycles
D. Euro 2
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B. Euro 5
New motorcycles must meet the Euro 5 standard for two-wheelers, which limits pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Euro 6 applies to cars, not motorcycles - the two-wheeler standards are numbered separately, and motorcycles are certainly not exempt (updated to the Euro 5+ revision for new type-approvals from January 2024).
