Free Tasmania motorcycle learners test practice starts here. The 11 motorbike licence practice tests draw from 70 original questions in 11 topics.
Tasmania's filtering rule can be cited to a numbered provision, rule 151A of the Road Rules 2019 (Tas), and to the instrument that inserted it, statutory rule SR 2017 no. 109. Its exclusion list is the only one that names buses alongside heavy vehicles, and it ties the school zone ban to operating hours rather than a fixed clock. The 80 km/h cap on a learner and a first year P1 rider is a figure this site could not confirm at the source on 3 September 2026. The original questions here cite the Tasmanian motorcycle rider handbook and the Australian Road Rules. Service Tasmania publishes no rider question bank.
Where these questions come from
Service Tasmania does not publish a motorcycle question bank. The 70 questions here are original practice questions written for this site against the current Tasmania road rules for riders, with the rule cited on every answer. They are not the official questions and nothing on this page says otherwise.
The road sign questions, and the sign artwork with them, were written and drawn for this site as well.

Rule 151A and Tasmania's exclusions
Tasmania limits lane filtering to a full motorcycle licence holder travelling at 30 km/h or below. Learner and provisional riders cannot filter. The location bans cover school zones during operating hours, the space between the road edge and vehicles, positions beside parked cars and places marked by no filtering signage. Filtering near heavy vehicles or buses is prohibited, as is filtering when conditions are unsafe.
The legal trail is unusually specific. The provision sits at rule 151A of the Road Rules 2019 (Tas) and was inserted by the Road Amendment (Motor Bike Lane Filtering) Rules 2017. Of the eight jurisdictions, Tasmania is the only one whose filtering rule could be traced here to both a numbered rule and the instrument that inserted it.
An 80 km/h cap on learners and first year P1 riders
Learner speed. A learner rider must not exceed 80 km/h. We could not open the Tasmanian licensing page from here on 3 September 2026, so confirm that figure there before you rely on it.
First year P1 speed. The same 80 km/h maximum applies through the first year of P1, and it carries the same caution.
Filtering status. Neither a learner nor a provisional rider may use the full-licence filtering permission.
No Tasmanian approved motorcycle figures published
No Tasmanian learner approved motorcycle list, capacity ceiling, power to weight figure or output limit has been checked here, so this page states none. The filtering rule turns on licence status, speed and what is around you, and the learner speed figure sits apart from it as something to confirm at the source.
Where the Tasmanian rule is firm and where it is not
Trace a filtering answer to rule 151A and test it against the Tasmanian exclusions, especially operating school zones, road-edge positions, parked cars, heavy vehicles, buses and no filtering signs. The Road Safety Advisory Council filtering page was read on 3 September 2026, so that part does not carry the caution the learner speed does.
Treat 80 km/h as a figure to check at the source before you use it. No Tasmanian rider test name, question count or pass mark has been confirmed, so this page attaches no test format to any of it.
The amending instrument is registered as statutory rule SR 2017 no. 109, which is why Tasmania is the only jurisdiction in this comparison whose filtering rule can be cited to both a numbered rule and the instrument that inserted it. Its exclusion list is the only one here that names buses alongside heavy vehicles, and it ties the school zone ban to operating hours rather than to a fixed clock, so both belong in a Tasmanian answer.
