Ontario Bus Driver Knowledge Practice Test

You should always remember that the average car driver probably does not appreciate that you may need how much more stopping distance than them?

1. 50%

2. 100%

3. 75%

4. 25%

The correct answer is: 100%

When driving a motorcycle, you should always remember that other car drivers may not understand the unique rules and safety precautions that apply to motorcycles. As a result, it is important to give yourself enough distance to stop safely in case of unexpected situations. Motorcycles require approximately 100% more stopping distance compared to cars. Option A, 50%, may seem like a significant increase but it is not enough to safely account for the difference in stopping distance. Similarly, option C, 75%, is closer to the correct answer but still does not provide a sufficient safety margin. Option D, 25%, is incorrect because motorcycles require much more than just 25% more stopping distance. As a rider, it is your responsibility to maintain a safe distance and be aware of your surroundings while on the road.
