QLD Motorcycle Knowledge Test study plan

List every Queensland road rule that applies specifically to motorcycle riders (lane position, filtering, carrying passengers, lane splitting legality) and state each in your own words

Explain the difference between lane filtering and lane splitting in Queensland and identify when each is permitted or prohibited

Practise low-speed control (walking-pace straight line, figure-eight, slow U-turn) in a quiet car park for at least two sessions

Identify the primary riding position and when to adopt a secondary position within a lane

Describe give-way rules at intersections, roundabouts and uncontrolled crossings and apply them to motorcycle scenarios

Practise emergency braking from 40 km/h and 60 km/h and record stopping distances

Practise countersteering and explain the physics of why it initiates a turn at speed

Map out three local routes that include roundabouts, T-intersections and multi-lane roads for on-road practice

Identify the top ten crash configurations involving motorcycles (e.g. car turning across path, rear-end at lights, wet-road loss of traction) and describe a countermeasure for each

Explain the concept of a safety bubble and how following distance should change with speed and conditions

Scan for and record five real-world hazards on a familiar route, noting what made each hazardous

Describe how alcohol, fatigue and distraction affect rider hazard perception

Demonstrate head checks and mirror checks in a consistent scan pattern during a practice ride

Practise swerving around an obstacle at 40 km/h and explain when to brake versus when to swerve

Analyse three real Queensland motorcycle crash scenarios and identify the point where the rider could have intervened

Describe how road surface, weather and visibility change your riding plan

Explain how protective gear (helmet standards, abrasion resistance, impact protection, high-visibility clothing) reduces injury severity

Inspect a helmet, jacket, gloves and boots for fit, damage and expiry and document the findings

Describe how rider fatigue, dehydration and cold affect decision-making and plan rest breaks

Identify the main causes of single-vehicle motorcycle crashes and how to avoid them

Explain the Queensland motorcycle licence progression (learner approval, learner licence, provisional and open licence) and the conditions attached to each stage

List the documents, eligibility requirements and knowledge test format for obtaining a learner licence

Describe motorcycle registration, compulsory third party insurance and helmet legal requirements

Explain the rules for carrying a passenger and for riding with a learner or provisional licence

Practise riding in rain or on a wet surface and describe how braking, throttle and cornering change

Ride a route containing highway speeds, tight corners and heavy traffic while narrating hazards aloud

Practise group-riding etiquette and explain staggered formation and its limits

Review and correct all errors from the week 4 mock test

Complete two full-length timed practice tests and score at least 90% on each

Review every missed question and link it back to the specific rule or technique involved

Re-test the five low-speed manoeuvres from week 1 and the emergency braking from week 2

Confirm test-day logistics including booking, location, required documents and identification
