Motorcycle Riding Test - What Should I Do/Not Do

    If you're stopped on an incline, you need to use your rear brake to keep the bike from rolling. You can use the front brake, but when you need to get going, it's not easy to release the brake while accelerating with the same hand, so you need to be using that rear brake.

    That is one instance, so I suspect the rule is to ensure that you're accustomed to not using that right foot.

    They mark it down as LOSS OF CONTROL, i know its a stupid rule, hell as soon as one passes the test, every MOFO puts both feet on the ground after getting the license.

    Your motor bike should always be in a gear and your right foot on the brake so that you are in control of your motorbike is what the explanation is. still doesnt make sense but its the rule. LOL
