Free Australian Capital Territory motorbike licence practice test

The Australian Capital Territory sets four conditions that must all hold before a rider can filter: a full motorcycle licence, a motorbike under 30 km/h, vehicles in both adjacent marked lanes moving slower than the motorbike, and a posted limit above 40 km/h. It is the only jurisdiction that tests the speed of the traffic beside the rider, and a Canberra street signed at exactly 40 km/h fails the last condition. The original questions here are written around rule 151A of the Road Transport (Road Rules) Regulation 2017 (ACT), cited to the ACT motorcycle rider handbook and the regulation. The ACT Government publishes no rider question bank.

Filtering eligibility. The first condition requires a full motorcycle licence. A rider without that status cannot satisfy all four conditions for lane filtering.

Motorbike speed. The motorbike must be travelling under 30 km/h, not at 30 km/h.

Adjacent traffic. Vehicles beside the motorbike in both marked lanes must be moving slower than the motorbike.

Posted road limit. The road speed limit must be more than 40 km/h. A 40 km/h road does not meet this condition.

What has been checked for the territory is rule 151A and nothing further. No ACT learner approved motorcycle list, capacity limit, power to weight limit or output figure has been confirmed, so this page states none rather than borrowing one from a neighbouring jurisdiction.

Work through rule 151A cumulatively. Confirm the full motorcycle licence, then compare the motorbike's speed with the under-30 km/h threshold, compare it with vehicles in both adjacent marked lanes, and finally inspect the posted limit. Only after all four hold should the three prohibited locations be checked.

Pay close attention to the strict wording of the two numerical conditions. Under 30 km/h excludes 30 km/h, while more than 40 km/h excludes a road posted at 40 km/h. No ACT rider test name, question count or pass mark has been confirmed, so none of this is a test format.

The wording is drawn from the Road Transport (Road Rules) Regulation 2017 (ACT) as reproduced on austlii.edu.au. A Canberra street signed at exactly 40 km/h fails the posted-limit condition, and because the rule tests the speed of the vehicles in both marked lanes beside you, a gap in stationary traffic does not satisfy it on its own. Those two checks are the ACT specifics a rider from another state has never had to make.
