Ch. 8 · Motorcycles

When a general moped makes a right turn at an intersection with three or more traffic lanes that is controlled by a traffic light, the right-turn signal should be given when reaching a point 50 meters from the near edge of the intersection.

[True / False · Hard]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road state that "give the right-turn signal when you reach a point 30 meters from the near edge of the intersection." The correct distance is 30 meters, not 50 meters. When making a two-stage right turn, the signal should be given 30 meters before the intersection.

Oh! I mixed up the numbers — 30 meters it is.

Easy mistake — just remember thirty for the turn signal on a moped's two-stage right.
