Motorcycle Skills Test: Part 3 (cc)

Save time, go online @ dol.wa.gov. This video focuses on the "quick stop." It is the third installment of a 4-part series examining the importance of the motorcycle skills test. The quick stop measures one's ability to avoid a hazard by stopping a motorcycle in the shortest distance possible.

This video is produced by the Washington State Department of Licensing.

@idiotrulz ABSOULELTY! The "best" way to stop, in shorter distances, is by using both brakes fully without skidding either wheel.

The front brake offers the most braking power (some +70%; sportbikes +90%.) Stoppies/endos are a quick(er) application of front brake -lifting the rear wheel.

Fun –but not very ‘effective’ to stop in short distances.

A 'progressive application' of front, and ‘light –to lighter’ of rear will maximize stopping power while maintaining control and traction.

isnt it best too use both front and rear breakes for an emergancy stop because you CAn easily pull a stopie?

@POLE0903 Sorry for the wait. Took a bit of time to confirm. Oklahoma uses a totally different (on-street) test.

The skills represented in these videos all apply to on-street operation. Practice these... you'll be better off for whatever test you take.

Good luck!

@ Tapil Yes, (minimum) speeds are required; speed and distance standards are also needed for the quick-stop.

Not sure what you're talking about with "couldn't access and stop under 2 seconds". ( No aspect of the test requires that. )

Quick-stops and Swerves do require 'steady speed' leading up to the eval.

Most offices test using a 40' run-up to the quick-stop and swerve. Typically plenty of time to 'maintain a steady speed' of @ 15mph.

Please contact me if I can help: motorcycle@dol.wa.gov

@wind8565 Thanks! The 'test' isn't difficult for folks that have an understanding of their bike, balance/lean, control(s) coordination.

The goal of these videos is to help folks understand 'why' we test what we do -and how these skills relate to on-street riding.

Thanks for your comments... ride SAFE! K
