Ch. 8 · Motorcycles

When walking while pushing a motorcycle, you are treated as a pedestrian even if the engine is running.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The text clearly states that "when pushing one with the engine running, you are not treated as a pedestrian." This statement is incorrect because having the engine running is an exception where you are not treated as a pedestrian.

Nope, that's false — if the engine's running while you push it, you're not treated as a pedestrian anymore.

It does! Engine on is an exception — you lose pedestrian status, so always turn it off when pushing.
