A printed page of a vehicle code with a single sentence highlighted, and a line drawn down the middle of it splitting granted all of the rights from subject to all of the duties.

Tap every one that is right.

One answer. Look for the sentence that gives and takes in the same breath.

All four. They are the ordinary rules, same as a car.

All of them. They are the same rules you know from a car.

3Where is primary position?

A boy in a buckled helmet riding a straight line along a quiet street, with cars parked along the far side.

Primary is the middle of your lane, where you can be seen.

4Which of these call for primary?

A boy in a buckled helmet riding a straight line along a quiet street, with cars parked along the far side.

Tap every one that is right.

Find all 3. Each one is a place where being passed is the danger.

Junctions, narrow bits, bends. Anywhere passing is not safe.

Primary at intersections, where it narrows, and on bends.

5How close to the edge is too close?

A boy in a buckled helmet riding a straight line along a quiet street, with cars parked along the far side.

Tap the one that is right.

One answer. Four feet is measured from the thing that swings.

Never closer than a foot and a half. The gutter is not a lane.

Never within a foot and a half of the edge. That is where junk sits.

6How wide is the door zone?

A chalk circle drawn on the road around a parked car, with a bike wheel stopped at the edge of it. The rider head is not in this picture.
Remember:

“Four feet, for the whole row.”

Tap the one that is right.

One answer. It is the length of the thing that swings open.

Four feet. Ride outside it for the whole row of cars.

Four feet wide. That is how far an open door reaches.

7Which of these are true of the door zone?

A chalk circle drawn on the road around a parked car, with a bike wheel stopped at the edge of it. The rider head is not in this picture.

Tap every one that is right.

Find all 3. Each one is a duty, not a courtesy.

One line, all the way past. You cannot tell which car has somebody.

Hold one line outside the whole row. Paint does not make it safe.

8What does the keep right rule really say?

A printed page of a vehicle code with a single sentence highlighted, and a line drawn down the middle of it splitting granted all of the rights from subject to all of the duties.

Tap the one that is right.

One answer. The half everybody quotes is missing its exceptions.

Right-ish, unless. The unless is written into the law.

It says as far right as is practical, then lists four exceptions.

9Which of these are on the exceptions list?

A boy in a buckled helmet riding a straight line along a quiet street, with cars parked along the far side.

Tap every one that is right.

One answer. Ask what the door needs, not what the paint says.

Passing, turning left, and a lane too narrow to share.

Passing, left turns and a narrow lane are all exceptions.

10What is the second half of taking a lane?

A boy in a buckled helmet waits at the edge of the street while a van comes through the junction ahead of him.
Remember:

“Control it, then give it back.”

Tap the one that is right.

One answer. You borrowed it, so there is something owed.

Control the lane through the thing, then release it. Both halves.

The release is the half people skip. Give it back when it is safe.
