  1. 1 Cargo Loading

    The length of items carried on a motorcycle, extending beyond the rear of the vehicle measured from the rear axle, must not exceed

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    A long load swings and can strike traffic behind you, so it may stick out no more than 0.5 metres, measured from the rear axle.

  2. 2 Prohibited Misconduct

    If a driver refuses to undergo a blood alcohol concentration test, in addition to a fine of NTD 180,000, the driver shall:

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    Refusing an alcohol test is punished severely so that nobody gains by refusing, which is why besides the 180,000 NTD fine the licence is revoked, not just suspended.

  3. 3 Other

    When driving through a waterlogged road section, you should

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    Water can hide potholes and reduce grip, and at speed the tires can ride up on the water. Going slowly keeps you in control and avoids splashing others.

  4. 4 Driving Precautions

    When overtaking on a two-way two-lane road with lane divider markings, is the time spent in the opposing lane related to the risk of an accident?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Every moment spent in the opposing lane is a moment an oncoming vehicle can appear, so the longer you stay there, the greater the chance of a crash.

  5. 5 Accident Prevention & Handling

    Which of the following methods is NOT used to observe whether a patient is breathing during CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Feeling for a neck pulse checks circulation, not breathing. To check breathing you watch the chest rise and feel for air coming out.

  6. 6 Other

    If a driver's license is suspended and the suspension period has not yet ended, regarding taking driver's license exams, which statement is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    While a suspension runs, the person is still under penalty, so no licence of any kind may be applied for until the period ends and the original licence is returned.

  7. 7 Vehicle Inspection

    When inspecting the brakes of a motorcycle, how much free play should there be when lightly pulling the brake lever?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A brake lever should have 1 to 2 cm of free play. With none the brake may drag, and with too much it bites too late.

  8. 8 Other

    After receiving a notice of violation for a traffic management incident, the offender may pay the fine directly at the designated location without adjudication within how many days to close the case?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Within 30 days of receiving the violation notice, you may pay the standard fine at the designated place without going through adjudication, and the case is closed.

  9. 9 Prohibited Misconduct

    If a motorcycle rider tests with a blood alcohol concentration exceeding the legal limit, but does not cause injury or death, in addition to a fine, what penalty should be imposed on their driver's license?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    Drunk riding is dangerous even when nobody is hurt, so besides the fine the licence is suspended for 1 to 2 years and the motorcycle is impounded on the spot.

  10. 10 Vehicle Inspection

    If a motorcycle produces abnormal noises when braking, which of the following statements regarding handling is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Strange noises when braking can mean worn or faulty brakes. A qualified mechanic should find and fix the cause, because brakes are too important to guess about.

  11. 11 Proper Use of Lights

    When a motorcycle starts moving from a parked position on the roadside, how should the rider proceed?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Pulling out from the roadside cuts into moving traffic, so signal and check ahead, behind and both sides, and move off only when it is safe. Low speed or a signal alone does not make it safe.

  12. 12 Vehicle Inspection

    Which of the following is NOT a necessary action before starting to ride?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Lights and tire pressure are safety checks that must be done, while a modern motorcycle does not need to warm up before riding off. Warming up is not a required step.

  13. 13 Vehicle Inspection

    At night or in dark places, which lighting tool should NOT be used when checking the battery fluid?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A battery can give off flammable gas, so an open flame like a lighter could set off an explosion. Use a flashlight or an electric work light instead.

  14. 14 Turning

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    A blue square board with a single straight white arrow marks a one-way street, where all traffic moves in the direction of the arrow.

  15. 15 Other

    A person penalized for violating road traffic regulations who cannot pay the fine in full at once

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Someone who cannot pay a traffic fine in one go may apply to pay it in installments. The licence is not suspended for this, and items are not taken as security.

  16. 16 Proper Use of Lights

    When meeting another vehicle at night and the oncoming vehicle does not switch to low beam headlights, how should you respond?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Answering high beams with your own high beams leaves both drivers blinded, and honking does not help. Keep your low beam on, slow down and look toward the right edge of your lane.

  17. 17 Driving Precautions

    When passing through sections marked with curves, steep slopes, narrow bridges, tunnels, intersections, railroad crossings, or road construction zones,

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    In curves, on steep slopes, narrow bridges, tunnels, intersections, railway crossings and roadworks you cannot see far or have no room, so overtaking is banned there, horn or no horn.

  18. 18 Driving Precautions

    An appropriate following distance can prevent accidents because

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    A proper following gap gives you enough time to notice a problem and enough space to brake or steer around it before you reach it.

  19. 19 Other

    After a driver has been fined and assigned demerit points due to a violation, he/she should

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Penalties are meant to change behavior. The right response is to obey the traffic rules from then on, not to ignore the penalty or try to dodge the police.

  20. 20 Vehicle Inspection

    When a motorcycle rider and passenger wear a safety helmet, regarding the fastening of the chin strap, which of the following statements is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A helmet only protects you if it stays on in a crash. Wear it facing forward with the strap properly fastened so it sits firmly on your head.

  21. 21 Other

    If a license plate is lost and not reported to the highway authority for reissuance, and the vehicle is still driven after being cited, the penalties are:

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    If you keep driving after being cited for a lost plate you never replaced, you are both fined and stopped from driving. Both penalties apply.

  22. 22 Accident Prevention & Handling

    What is the effective artificial respiration method for adults?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    For an adult, mouth-to-mouth breathing delivers air into the lungs most reliably. Pinch the nose shut so the air does not escape.

  23. 23 Other

    Since January 1, 2013 (ROC Year 102), is it necessary to apply for the replacement of the motorcycle registration certificate?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Since that date, the motorcycle registration certificate no longer has to be renewed, so no replacement application is needed.

  24. 24 Large Vehicles

    When a motorcycle rider notices an ambulance performing an emergency mission, what should they do?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    An ambulance on a call is racing to save a life, so move aside and let it through. Overtaking it or tailing it gets in its way and is dangerous.

  25. 25 Other

    If a driver causes an accident but no one is injured or killed, yet fails to handle the situation according to regulations and flees the scene, in addition to a fine, the driver shall also:

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Fleeing after a crash without handling it properly is running from your duty, even if nobody is hurt, so besides the fine the driver's licence is suspended.

  26. 26 Driving Precautions

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    A blue circle gives an order, and the arrow pointing straight to the left means the only movement allowed is a left turn. A keep-left sign uses a diagonal arrow.

  27. 27 Driving Precautions

    The yellow double solid line in the picture indicates:

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A double solid yellow line in the centre means no passing for both directions. Traffic on either side may not cross it to overtake.

  28. 28 Accident Prevention & Handling

    When performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), which of the following statements regarding the victim's position is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    Compressions only work if the chest is pushed against something solid, so the person must lie on their back on a firm, hard surface. A soft bed absorbs the pressure.

  29. 29 Other

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    The loaded goods truck inside the red slashed circle stands for heavy freight vehicles, so large trucks and articulated vehicles may not enter.

  30. 30 Driving Precautions

    When passing through an uncontrolled intersection without traffic signals, the safer practice is:

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    In Taiwan traffic keeps to the right, so vehicles from your left are in the nearest lane and reach you first. Look left, then right, then left again before crossing.

  31. 31 Other

    If a motorcycle driver does not carry their driver's license, vehicle registration, and compulsory automobile liability insurance card while riding:

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Officers can now check licences, registration and insurance in their computer system, so riders are no longer fined for not carrying these documents.

  32. 32 Accident Prevention & Handling

    Maintaining an open airway is the primary task in first aid. However, if the casualty has a cervical spine injury, which method is appropriate to maintain the airway?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    The jaw thrust opens the airway by pushing the jaw forward without bending the neck, so it protects an injured cervical spine. Tilting the head back would move the neck.

  33. 33 Intersection Safety

    The diagonal stripes in the picture indicate:

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    The block of diagonal zebra stripes across the road marks a pedestrian crossing, where people on foot have priority.

  34. 34 Other

    A cyclist's hand signal indicates an upcoming

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    The cyclist holds the left arm bent with the forearm pointing down, which is the signal for slowing down or stopping.

  35. 35 Other

    When a driver uses a forged, altered, or fraudulently obtained driving license to drive, the penalty shall be

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Driving with a forged, altered or fraudulently obtained licence brings a fine, and the licence is confiscated so it can never be used again.

  36. 36 Intersection Safety

    When a motorcycle rider runs a red light at an intersection controlled by traffic signals in order to rush through, what amount of fine shall be imposed in accordance with the regulations?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    Rushing a red light at a signal-controlled intersection is fined NT$1,800 to NT$5,400, the heaviest range here, because it is one of the most dangerous moves at a crossing.

  37. 37 Driving Precautions

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    The symbol shows stairs going up on both sides to a walkway above, which is a pedestrian overpass. An underpass would show steps leading down.

  38. 38 Driving Precautions

    Which of the following is NOT a correct behavior when riding a motorcycle?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    At a roundabout, vehicles already circling inside have priority, so vehicles entering from outside must yield to them, not the other way round.

  39. 39 Driving Precautions

    When driving through curves, steep slopes, narrow bridges, tunnels, intersections with signs, railroad crossings, or road construction zones,

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    In curves, on steep slopes, narrow bridges, tunnels, intersections, railway crossings and roadworks you cannot see far enough or have no room to pass, so overtaking is banned there.

  40. 40 Intersection Safety

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    One palm held up stops the traffic in front, while the other arm swings in an arc from the right side, waving vehicles from the right through into a left turn.

  41. 41 Driving Precautions

    Regarding the guidelines to avoid collisions, which of the following is appropriate?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A safe following distance changes with speed and conditions. A fixed single vehicle length ignores speed, and matching the speed ahead does not help if that vehicle brakes suddenly.

  42. 42 Prohibited Misconduct

    When a motorcycle rider passes through a road section marked with school or hospital signs without slowing down, and is stopped by a traffic police officer, if there is no serious threat to traffic safety or order and the offense is minor, what is the legal penalty?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    When the offence is minor and does not seriously endanger traffic, the traffic officer may simply give advice instead of issuing a citation.

  43. 43 Intersection Safety

    The horizontal solid white line in the picture indicates:

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    A solid white line drawn across the lanes just before the crossing is the stop line, the place where vehicles must stop when required.

  44. 44 Turning

    When a motorcycle approaches an intersection and intends to turn, it should follow the regulations of signs or road markings. If there are no signs or markings, and the inner lane has a no-motorcycle sign or marking, the rider should:

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    If the inner lane is closed to motorcycles, a rider cannot get there to turn left, so the left turn has to be made in two stages.

  45. 45 Driving Precautions

    When meeting another vehicle on a narrow road, you should:

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    On a narrow road, forcing your way or honking only risks a crash. Judge early whether there is room, then pull over as far as you can and let the other vehicle pass first.

  46. 46 Other

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    A blue shield with a white number marks a provincial road route number.

  47. 47 Prohibited Misconduct

    When a motorist drives a car past a police station where a notice for conducting breathalyzer or drug tests is posted, if the driver fails to stop as instructed for inspection or refuses to undergo the test, the penalty shall be

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Refusing to stop or to be tested at a posted checkpoint cannot be a way to escape a drunk-driving check, so the law applies the fine, on-the-spot impoundment, licence revocation and the safety course together.

  48. 48 Other

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 1

    Why

    An old steam locomotive in a red warning triangle warns of a railway crossing without barriers, where you must check for trains yourself.

  49. 49 Intersection Safety

    Which option is correct?

    CorrectThe right answer is 2

    Why

    The red triangle with a person pushing a small cart on rails warns that carts may cross or use the road ahead.

  50. 50 Other

    On which of the following road surface conditions is a motorcycle more likely to slip?

    CorrectThe right answer is 3

    Why

    Painted road markings and steel plates over roadworks are both smooth surfaces with little grip, especially when wet, so a motorcycle can slip on either.
