Question 1596 in the bank

What is special about the operation of the motorcycle’s brakes?

  1. Correct answer: The rear and front brakes can be operated separately.
  2. Brakes operation is safer in a motorcycle because it is done with the hands only.
  3. In a motorcycle you cannot brake every wheel separately.
  4. The motorcycle can brake at any speed on the spot.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The rear and front brakes can be operated separately.

A motorcycle has two separate braking systems: the front brake is usually worked by a hand lever and the rear brake by a foot pedal. So each wheel can be braked on its own, and the rider must balance the force on each; effective braking uses both together. Braking is not done with the hands only, and no motorcycle can stop on the spot at any speed.
