When turning right at a multi-lane roundabout in New Zealand, which lane should a motorcyclist use on approach?
Answer: The right lane
For right turns or going past the halfway point of a roundabout, you should approach and enter using the right lane.
In New Zealand, is a U-turn permitted at an intersection where there is a NO U-TURN sign?
Answer: No, it is prohibited by the sign
A NO U-TURN sign legally prohibits U-turns at that location regardless of traffic conditions or vehicle type.
What should a motorcyclist do to maximise their visibility when stopped at an intersection waiting to turn?
Answer: Position slightly to one side of the lane to be seen in mirrors
Positioning slightly to the side allows following drivers to see you in their mirrors and alerts cross-traffic to your presence.
When proceeding through a green traffic light at an intersection in New Zealand, what should a motorcyclist always do first?
Answer: Check for vehicles that may run the red light
Even with a green light, a motorcyclist should check for vehicles that may fail to stop on red before entering the intersection.
What is the recommended approach speed when entering a roundabout in New Zealand?
Answer: A speed at which you can stop safely if required
You should enter a roundabout at a speed that allows you to stop safely if a vehicle already on the roundabout has right of way.
When two motorcyclists approach a GIVE WAY sign at an intersection at the same time from different roads, what determines right of way?
Answer: The standard give-way rules still apply based on direction of travel
Standard NZ give-way rules apply regardless of vehicle type, so direction of travel and the intersection geometry determine right of way.
Before turning left at an intersection in New Zealand, a motorcyclist should check which area most carefully for hazards?
Answer: The footpath and left kerb area for cyclists and pedestrians
Left turns require checking the footpath and left kerb for pedestrians stepping out and cyclists who may be riding in the left space.
