QUESTION 23 / 25
Why should a rider learn to use both brakes smoothly?
Choose one answer below.
A
The rear brake alone provides the shortest controlled stop because front braking always locks the wheel
✓
B
The front brake should be reserved for highway emergencies and avoided during ordinary lower-speed stops
✓
C
Using both brakes appropriately gives better controlled stopping than relying on one brake
✓
D
Using both brakes is an examination technique; after licensing, normal stops should use one brake at a time
✓
QUESTION 24 / 25
Your motorcycle has linked brakes. What should you do before assuming which lever or pedal applies which brake?
Choose one answer below.
A
Treat the controls exactly like an unlinked motorcycle because every linked system distributes pressure identically
✓
B
Disconnect the linked system before the road test so the examiner can assess front and rear braking separately
✓

Check the owner's manual and practise because linked systems may apply both brakes from one control
