If you are found guilty of falsifying your motorcycle's insurance documents, you may face which of the following penalties?
- Loss of your vehicle for up to 3 months
- Loss of licence for up to a year
- A fine of between $5,000 and $25,000
- One or more of the above ✓
Answer: D. One or more of the above
You may face one or more of these penalties: a fine of $5,000 to $25,000, loss of your licence for up to a year, and loss of your motorcycle for up to three months.
Why this is the answer
The motorcycle handbook says that if you do not tell the truth about insurance or show false documents, you can be fined $5,000 to $25,000. It also says you may lose your licence for up to one year and have your motorcycle taken away for up to three months. Because the handbook lists all of these as possible results of the same conduct, the correct answer is that you may face one or more of them, not just a single penalty.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Loss of your vehicle for up to 3 months — Losing your vehicle for up to three months is only one possible penalty, and the handbook says a fine or licence loss may also apply.
- B. Loss of licence for up to a year — Losing your licence for up to a year is only one possible penalty, and the handbook says a fine or vehicle loss may also apply.
- C. A fine of between $5,000 and $25,000 — A fine of $5,000 to $25,000 is only one possible penalty, and the handbook says licence loss or vehicle loss may also apply.
Remember it
Think fine, licence, then bike: falsifying insurance papers can bring all three, so pick the choice that allows one or more.
