"Prescription drugs need the advice of a doctor or pharmacist before you take them, and they may have unwanted side effects that affect your ability to control a vehicle

It's always an offence to refuse a breath test."

"You should avoid all alcohol when taking medicine, and you should also check with your doctor that it is OK to drive when taking a specific medication."

You should also pay particular attention to white lines and patches of oil as they will be even more slippery. Metal grates and manhole covers will also be like ice"

"Avoid making sudden movements. Brake in a straight line using both brakes and use your feet as outriggers for extra balance and to keep yourself upright."

You will be able to see up the road in case there is emergency braking ahead of the car in front of you, as well as see the brake lights of the car in front."

Building up your skills in a safe environment is best when learning to ride."

"Stay centre-left to give yourself a buffer and to help you stay visible in the vehicle ahead's wing mirrors if it doesn't have a rear-view mirror. Don't ride on the hard left of your lane, though, as there may be looser surfaces there that can be slippery or contain sharp debris that might puncture your tyre."

Don't ride on the hard left of your lane, though, as there may be looser surfaces there that can be slippery or contain sharp debris that might puncture your tyre."

"Using both brakes together provides the best stopping performance. Just be careful not to over-apply the rear brake as the weight is transferred to the front wheel when braking, as this is increases the risk that you will skid"

"Try to brake in a straight line. If you end up in the sand, don't make sudden movements. If you have to brake, do so gently and use your feet as outriggers for extra balance and to keep yourself upright."

. Keep control over the bike - don't let it control you. Let the motorbike slow down as naturally as possible

The Australian Standards AS1698 means the helmet is approved for use and will protect your head to the standard required. You can research specific helmets and their performance by looking for the SHARP rating in the UK"

"If you are indicating, drivers may think you are turning and might pull out in front of you."

"When the passenger is seated correctly, behind and as close to the rider as possible, the balance of the motorcycle will be preserved

"You should also pay particular attention to white lines and patches of oil as they will be even more slippery. Metal grates and manhole covers will also be like ice"

 "You must always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle."

"Downshifting shifts the balance of the bike temporarily and therefore should be done before the turn so that you are in the correct gear while in the turn."

Because motorcycle turning is effected using countersteering, and the balance of the bike through the corners is created by the rider, the passenger should lean in the same direction as the rider."

"This gives you time to learn the characteristics of your motorbike and become more comfortable with riding on the road"

 "Also, you don't have to hold a driver licence to get a motorcycle licence."

"You don't know whether a second hand helmet has been in an accident or has been exposed to solvents or other chemicals that might have weakened it. You can't tell by looking at a helmet whether it has microscopic cracks that might weaken it."

Stay centre-left to give yourself a buffer. Don't ride on the hard left of your lane, though, as there may be looser surfaces there."

You cannot always tell by looking at a helmet whether it has been damaged in a crash. It may have microscopic cracks that weaken its protection, therefore you should always replace it."

"This gives you time to learn the characteristics of your motorbike and become more comfortable with riding on the road"

"Use both front and rear brakes in normal stopping conditions to give the most effective braking performance."

 "Keep control over the bike - don't let it control you. Let the motorbike slow down as naturally as possible."

. The rider is in control of the motorcycle when it stops. The pillion passenger's feet should remain on the footpegs."

"A pillion passenger must be able to ride safely, therefore separate footrests and a pillion seat are essential."

Allow time to become familiar with the bike's performance. This also applies to your acceleration power for overtaking, and the amount of grip and maneouvrability you have in corners."

"When the passenger is seated correctly, behind and as close to the rider as possible, the balance of the motorcycle will be preserved."

Your turning ability will be compromised and you may experience a front wheel washout if you try to turn. Use the back brake gently and try to brake in a straight line."

"Tiredness, alcohol, drugs and distracting clothing can take away your ability to concentrate on the road. Also, if you are too cold, too hot or have had recent bad news you are more likely to be distracted."

Even better are boots that provide shin protection as well as ankle protection, ensuring that the boots cover the bottom of the trousers and don't leave any skin exposed in an accident"

 "Downshifting shifts the balance of the bike temporarily and therefore should be done before the turn so that you are in the correct gear while in the turn

"An approved helmet will meet Australian standards for safety to protect your head in the event of an accident."

 A jacket with built-in protection for your spine and kidneys can help prevent back injuries. You should also be wearing boots with ankle (and preferably shin) protection, gloves, abrasion- and tear-resistant pants, and eye protection if your helmet doesn't have a visor."

Headlights are essential not only to see at night, but also to keep you visible to other drivers. If your stop light isn't working other vehicles may run into the back of you."

"Downshifting helps with your braking and ensures that you remain in the right gear should you need to accelerate again."

 Adopting the correct riding posture means you will stay more alert for longer and you will have better control over your bike."

"Because motorcycle turning is effected using countersteering, and the balance of the bike through the corners is created by the rider, the passenger should lean in the same direction as the rider."

"Regular spectacles don't provide enough protection against objects that might be thrown up into your eyes, like stones."

"You must always carry your licence with you."

"You must always carry your licence with you when riding."

"Squeezing the clutch will stop the motorcycle accelerating. Turning off the engine will stop it over revving. Then you can apply the brakes."

"Also, you don't have to hold a driver licence to get a motorcycle licence."

"Maximum braking effort is achieved by using both brakes together. However, be careful braking on a wet road as there is less friction and you can skid much more easily."

The Australian Standards AS1698 means the helmet is approved for use and will protect your head to the standard required. You can research specific helmets and their performance by looking for the SHARP rating in the UK"

"Avoid making sudden movements. Brake in a straight line using both brakes and use your feet as outriggers for extra balance and to keep yourself upright."

"Braking in a straight line is the safest way to brake. Braking while in the turn is asking the tyre to do additional work - not only to cope with the forces of turning, but also braking forces, and that increases the risk of a sKID

"You must always carry your licence with you when riding."

The mirrors will cover half the lane behind you each, giving you whole lane visibility. You also then need to be able to see as much of the adjacent lanes as possible so you can keep an eye on traffic. Remember that you will still have a blind spot and will need to look over your shoulder before changing lanes"

Wearing protective clothing with built in back and kidney protectors can mean the difference between walking away from an accident relatively unscathed, and not walking away from an accident."

A jacket with built-in protection for your spine and kidneys can help prevent back injuries. You should also be wearing boots with ankle (and preferably shin) protection, gloves, abrasion- and tear-resistant pants, and eye protection if your helmet doesn't have a visor.

"The rear of the motorcycle may start to fishtail. Close the throttle, try to bring the bike back under control, and brake gently using the front brake only. Use your feet for balance."

You cannot always tell by looking at a helmet whether it has been damaged in a crash. It may have microscopic cracks that weaken its protection, therefore you should always replace it

"You will be able to see up the road in case there is emergency braking ahead of the car in front of you, as well as see the brake lights of the car in front."

 "Even better are boots that provide shin protection as well as ankle protection, ensuring that the boots cover the bottom of the trousers and don't leave any skin exposed in an accident"

"A passenger must be at least eight years old, but doesn't have to hold a licence."

Cracks and loose padding will reduce the effectiveness of the helmet in a crash."

"Your turning ability will be compromised and you may experience a front wheel washout if you try to turn. Use the back brake gently and try to brake in a straight line."

 "Use both front and rear brakes in normal stopping conditions to give the most effective braking performance."

"An approved helmet will meet Australian standards for safety to protect your head in the event of an accident."

Your eyesight can be seriously damaged if you are hit in the eye by an object when riding at speed, therefore you should always wear a helmet visor or goggles."

You don't know whether a second hand helmet has been in an accident or has been exposed to solvents or other chemicals that might have weakened it. You can't tell by looking at a helmet whether it has microscopic cracks that might weaken it

If you remain on your seat you may be bounced off it, leading to loss of control."

 "Wearing protective clothing with built in back and kidney protectors can mean the difference between walking away from an accident relatively unscathed, and not walking away from an accident."

"Loose clothing can be dangerous if it gets in the moving mechanisms of the motorcycle. Very tight clothing could restrict your movement."

"Tiredness, alcohol, drugs and distracting clothing can take away your ability to concentrate on the road. Also, if you are too cold, too hot or have had recent bad news you are more likely to be distracted."

 "Allow time to become familiar with the bike's performance. This also applies to your acceleration power for overtaking, and the amount of grip and maneouvrability you have in corners."

You should never pay a bribe."

Explaination: "You will forfeit the test fee and have to reapply and pay the fee again"

You should never pay a bribe."

Turning up the radio and opening the windows have negligible effect on tiredness. Stopping and resting until you are not tired, or changing drivers is the best solution."

 "Driving long distances can be tiring and you increase your risk of falling asleep at the wheel."

"Your stopping distances will increase in the wet, and if visibility is impaired it may take you longer to react to an emergency situation. Other vehicles will not be able to see you as easily, therefore headlights are important."

Slow down, look at the left hand edge of the road and wait until your eyes recover until you speed up again."

If you don't have anti-lock brakes heavy braking may lock the wheels, causing a skid. Once you are skidding you are out of control. If you do have anti-lock brakes, someone behind you could run into you

"Be especially careful when braking as oil and rain create a very slippery surface. Slow down to give yourself time to react, and also to allow for safe cornering and stopping."

"Riding a motorcycle is more tiring than driving a car. You should stop immediately and take a break."

"Staying three seconds or more behind the vehicle in front will give you time to react in an emergency. If the conditions are wet, then you should increase this distance."

Riding a motorcycle is more fatiguing than driving a car. Take a break at least every two hours, and ensure your clothing is appropriate for the weather conditions."

"You must report the accident."

Helping injured people is the first priority.

 Horses can be frightened easily by traffic and can become unpredictable. Slowing down and giving them plenty of space is essential."

Road repairs can cause the road to be slippery, and you may come around a corner to find a traffic controller with a handheld sign directing traffic, therefore be prepared to stop."

Pulling over to the left will give the emergency vehicle as much space as possible to overtake you. Don't brake heavily or you risk the emergency vehicle running into the back of your vehicle, or another vehicle behind you running into you."

. Helping injured people is the first priority."

"Trying to merge into freeway traffic too slowly causes a dangerous situation for other drivers who may have to brake heavily. Match your speed and merge into a gap in the traffic."

"Keep your vehicle as visible as possible without compromising other road users."

. 20 metres gives enough room for other vehicles to manoeuvre around a parked vehicle."

You must allow the bus to move into your lane. Also, be aware that passengers (especially children) may be trying to cross the road, so be prepared to stop."

"Trying to merge into freeway traffic too slowly causes a dangerous situation for other drivers who may have to brake heavily. Match your speed and merge into a gap in the traffic."

This ensures that all parties have the correct information for insurance purposes

"Moving to the left will give the ambulance as much room as possible to pass. Don't make any erratic manoeuvres such as slowing down abruptly or you might cause the ambulance to have to swerve dangerously to avoid you"

"Keep your vehicle as visible as possible without compromising other road users."

"The left lane is closed. Merge like a zip (alternate vehicles) into the right hand lane"

Double parking obstructs the road way and causes a hazard for other road users."

: "High beam headlights can dazzle other drivers and make it difficult for them to see the road and any dangers."

Explaination: "Horses can be frightened easily by traffic and can become unpredictable. Slowing down and giving them plenty of space is essential."

A bicycle rider has the same rights and responsibilities as other road users, although there are certain roads where bicycles are prohibited."

Explaination: "The traffic controller will let you know when it's safe to pass through the road works. There might be vehicles coming the other way, or workers or machinery blocking the lane

The bridge may not be wide enough for two vehicles."

. High beam headlights can dazzle other drivers and make it difficult for them to see the road and any dangers."

"Get in the habit of using your indicator every time you make a manoeuvre as it tells other drivers what your intentions are, even if it's the only way you can turn."

This ensures that all parties have the correct information for insurance purposes."

Clearways are designed to help traffic flow smoothly in busier times."

Explaination: "They are smaller and less visible, particularly as you scan up the road, and they do not have the protection that drivers in cars, vans and trucks have."

 If your vehicle is already in the intersection when the lights turn red, the camera will not trigger."

If the lanes are marked so that you can go straight ahead from either, then you can, as long as you stay in the same lane as when you entered the roundabout. Don't signal right if you are going straight ahead."

"If the lanes are marked so that you can go straight ahead from either, then you can, as long as you stay in the same lane as when you entered the roundabout."

 If you block the intersection with your vehicle it will hold up traffic coming from other directions and causes unnecessary dangers."

You always give way to vehicles on your right at an unmarked intersection if you intend on going straight through."

Pedestrians have the right of way if there's a danger of a collision."

: "Even if a train has passed, there may be another train on its way. Always wait for the boom gates to rise and the lights to stop flashing."

Traffic controllers' signals override that of signs and lights at intersections."

You must always use your indicator when making a manoeuvre, even if there are arrows on the road or no other vehicles present."

If the lanes are marked so that you can go straight ahead from either, then you can, as long as you stay in the same lane as when you entered the roundabout. Signal left once you've passed the exit before the one you are taking."

"You should start indicating as you approach the roundabout and only stop indicating once you have made your turn.

Police officers' signals override that of any signs or lights at intersections."

"You must give way to all vehicles on the road you are turning onto."

If the car is leaving the roundabout it will pass across the path of the motorbike."

The line has the same meaning as the sign itself."

Always be ready to stop in these situations, just in case you haven't seen the train coming."

"Vehicle J must give way."

If the car is leaving the roundabout it will pass across the path of the motorbike."

If a pedestrian is already in the road you must give way."

Right turns must only be made from the right hand lane, or any other lane with a right-pointing arrow."

 "You always use the left lane to turn left."

"Vehicle O must give way to all the other vehicles."

"Traffic may appear so you need to be ready to stop if necessary."

If the lanes are marked so that you can go straight ahead from either, then you can, as long as you stay in the same lane as when you entered the roundabout. Don't signal right if you are going straight ahead."

If you cannot cross the intersection then you risk holding up traffic from other directions."

 "If your vehicle is already in the intersection when the lights turn red, the camera will not trigger."

"If you are turning at an unmarked intersection you must give way to vehicles from your right and vehicles coming straight through.

You always use the left lane to turn left."

You must always stop at a stop sign."
