Nebraska DMV Motorcycle Permit Practice Test 2024

If you brake too much using your brake pedal, your brakes may overheat and stop functioning. A low gear will allow for your vehicle to engine brake, and thus avoid overheating.

Keep an eye on your surroundings (e.g. if you have a large vehicle behind you). Your vehicle will pick up speed on its own when driving downhill (due to gravity), so also check your speed every now and then to see if you’re riding faster than is safe.

Motorcycle clothes are there to protect the rider in case of an accident, regardless of the weather conditions. Do not exchange your clothes for summer clothes as you'll lose all protection - it simpy isn't worth the risk.

The climate is likely to be much colder in the mountains due to the higher altitude. Warning signs are placed on many roads that tend to freeze a lot, but not on all of them. Remember that the roads may be icy even during summer... so make sure to look for spots of ice on the road ahead!

Drunk driving is one of the main causes of road fatalities. Alcohol affects your riding and driving abilities (such as your reaction time and judgment) and will make you overconfident. Intoxicated drivers will almost certainly collide at a higher speed than sober drivers.

Watch out for how other vehicles are acting (e.g. slowing down or turning), and don’t believe blindly in turn signals. Other drivers may signal too early or forget to turn off their turn signal after turning.

There are many factors which will influence how you should be positioned in a curve, such as traffic and road conditions, and the shape of the curve. For example; you may want to move to the inside of the curve as you enter the curve, and then to the outside as you exit the curve. It all depends on the conditions of the curve.

Find the source of the bleeding. Make a pad using some kind of available clean cloth, and apply firm pressure. Raise the injured area if possible - it may reduce the bleeding.

All riders and passengers must use a U.S. DOT compliant motorcycle safety helmen when riding a motorcycle. A majority of all serious and fatal motorcyclist injuries are head injuries - and a helmet will greatly reduce head injuries.

At uncontrolled T-intersections, traffic on the terminating road must yield to traffic on the through road.

The motorcycle skills test is a pass/fail test that requires the rider to demonstrate several skills. The purpose of the motorcycle skills test is to determine your ability to maneuver in normal traffic situations. One skill you will be asked to demonstrate is to do a serpentine ride, i.e. weaving through a row of traffic cones spaced 12 feet apart.

Remember that you must never stop on the road in extreme fog - if you decide to stop, do so COMPLETELY away from traffic.

You are NOT allowed to drive faster than the speed limit at any time, even if other traffic is doing so.

If you are group riding in a staggered formation, pass one at a time. Each rider has to decide when it is safe to pass and when the space cushion in front of the passed vehicle is large enough. Do not pass many at a time as it will greatly increase the risk of an accident when passing, and will require far more time to make a complete pass.

Treat out-of-order intersections like a 4-Way Stop i.e. like all vehicles approaching the intersection are facing STOP signs This means you must first come to a complete stop, and then apply the ‘right-of-way’ rules.

When a person isn’t breathing, you may need to give CPR to maintain circulation. Pump at the rate of 100-120 times per minute.

By shifting down as you slow down or stop, you will be in a correct gear for your speed. As you come to a stop, you should remain in first gear so you can move out quickly if needed.

Always use both brakes at the same time to come to a stop, especially if you have to stop quickly.

Before pulling out into traffic, you must check that the road is clear. Do this by checking your mirrors, and then giving a left signal to warn other road users of your intention to pull out.

In this case, signal left and then check the blind spot by looking over your left shoulder.

If you front wheel locks while braking, you should immediately release the front brake and re-apply the brake when the lock is removed. Don't let go of the rear brake.

Alcohol will affect each rider in a different way, but in general you will begin to feel affected almost immediately. Alcohol affects your coordination, judgment, reflexes, and much more. It will make you an unsafe rider within minutes of consumption. Do NOT ride if you have been drinking - even if you are below the legal BAC limit.
