Motorcycle Theory Test Case Study 2

You ride your motorcycle to a motorcycle show on a single carriageway road. The road surface is damp from overnight rain. You come up behind two horse riders. Soon, you pass them. Near the showground, the traffic volume increases. There's a large vehicle in front, so you drop back. You see a vehicle with a green flashing light in your mirrors, so you make room for it to pass.

You have 10 minutes to answer 5 multiple choice questions based on the case study above. Read this carefully and make sure you understand the scenario before starting the test. You need to score 4 out of 5 to pass.
