All 70 WA rider practice questions, with answers

No question count and no pass mark for the rider knowledge test have been confirmed against Department of Transport. For a class R-E licence the confirmed order is the Computerised Theory Test, then the Hazard Perception Test, then the Practical Driving Assessment. Motorcycles and mopeds have their own hazard perception test. The sample has three situations. Clip count and numeric pass mark are not stated. The Practical Driving Assessment is from at least 17 for a motorcycle, or 16 for a moped.

Filtering is limited to 30 km/h or less and closed to learner permit holders. A breach is a $100 fine and 2 demerit points, the only fixed penalty on the longest prohibition list of the eight. That list covers children's crossings, marked foot crossings, pedestrian crossings, school zones, shared zones, roads posted at 40 km/h or below, where vehicles merge, where overtaking is prohibited, and roundabouts, plus heavy vehicles of 22.5 tonnes gross combination mass or more, bicycle, bus or other special purpose lanes, and the kerb, road edge or parked cars. A sidecar or three wheeled motorcycle cannot filter. A learner approved combustion motorcycle is capped at 150 kilowatts per tonne and 660cc, an electric one at 25 kilowatts, checked against the Transport for NSW approved list and kept apart.

Of the 70 questions, spend most time on licence rules and learner restrictions (8). Then protective gear and helmets, braking, and road surface hazards (7 each), cornering and counter steering, and lane position and buffering (6 each), learner approved motorcycles, being seen, lane use and filtering, pillion passengers and loads, plus weather, animals and distance (5 each), and riding in a group (4). None of these 12 sections are in the car bank. These are original practice questions written for this site and not the official question bank. The official handbook remains the authority. 61 of the 70 answers cite the Ride Safe handbook, and the rest cite Australian Road Rules and Road Traffic Code 2000 (WA).
