Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Question: 1 / 400

In countersteering, to initiate a turn, PUSHING the right handgrip will allow the motorcycle to:

Go straight

Turn left

Turn right

When countersteering on a motorcycle, pushing the right handgrip will actually cause the motorcycle to lean to the right and initiate a turn to the right. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but it is a technique commonly used by motorcyclists to effectively navigate turns at higher speeds. By pushing on the right handgrip, you momentarily create a slight imbalance that allows the motorcycle to lean in the desired direction and start the turn smoothly.

Pushing the right handgrip will not make the motorcycle go straight, turn left, or slow down. The correct answer is turning right (Option C) because by pushing the right handgrip, you are signaling the motorcycle to lean in that direction and initiate a right turn.
