1. It’s legal to park your motorcycle
  1. in the yellow striped access beside handicapped parking.
  2. within six metres of a stop sign.
  3. where the curb is painted yellow.
  4. None of the above ✓

Answer: D. None of the above

None of the above — you may not park in a handicapped access aisle, within six metres of a stop sign, or where the curb is painted yellow. The handbook lists parking restrictions for motorcycles, and all three of these locations appear on that list. Parking is not allowed in a space for people with disabilities or in the yellow-striped access aisles beside those spaces, because those aisles are how people in wheelchairs get in and out and your bike could be hit by lift equipment. Parking is also not allowed within six metres of a stop sign or traffic light, and not where the curb is painted yellow or red.
2. Which of the following statements is true?
  1. Coasting is good for control.
  2. It's legal to coast downhill with the clutch in.
  3. It's legal to coast downhill in neutral.
  4. It's illegal to coast downhill in neutral or with the clutch in. ✓

Answer: D. It's illegal to coast downhill in neutral or with the clutch in.

The true statement is that it's illegal to coast downhill in neutral or with the clutch in. The handbook states plainly that coasting downhill in neutral or with the clutch in is against the law, because you need to be in gear to control the motorcycle safely. Keeping the bike in gear means you can use engine braking and throttle to manage your speed on a downgrade, so control stays with you. Any statement that treats coasting as good for control, or as something you may legally do downhill, goes against that rule.
