A.50 km/h

B.60 km/h

C.40 km/h

D.70 km/h

Explanation: The default speed limit in built-up areas (local streets and residential zones) in Queensland is 50 km/h unless otherwise signed. Roads carrying through traffic may be signed at 60 km/h or higher. Always check posted signs, as speed limits can vary.

A.80 km/h

B.110 km/h

C.100 km/h

D.90 km/h

Explanation: The default speed limit on roads outside a built-up area in Queensland is 100 km/h unless a lower or higher limit is signposted. Only a small number of higher-standard roads allow 110 km/h, and only when a sign confirms it.

3What speed limit applies in a Queensland school zone during school zone hours?

A.30 km/h

B.50 km/h

C.25 km/h

D.40 km/h

Explanation: School zones in Queensland operate on school days between 7:00 am–9:00 am and 2:00 pm–4:00 pm, and the speed limit drops to 40 km/h. Some schools display different hours on their signage. Lane filtering is also prohibited in school zones during these hours.

B.Vehicles already on the roundabout must give way to entering vehicles

C.The vehicle on the right must give way

A.0.05

B.0.02

C.0.00

D.0.08

Explanation: Motorcycle learner riders in Queensland must comply with a zero (0.00) BAC — no alcohol at all is permitted when riding. This also applies to provisional/probationary riders and to RE open licence holders for the first 12 months of holding their RE licence.

7Which of the following is a road sign shape associated with giving way or stopping in Queensland?

A.Triangle (inverted) sign

B.Rectangular blue sign

C.Circular green sign

D.Diamond-shaped orange sign

Explanation: An inverted triangle (pointed downward) is the internationally recognised shape for a Give Way sign in Australia. The octagonal sign is used for Stop. Recognising sign shapes allows drivers to act even before reading the text.

A.No motorcycles permitted ahead

B.A motorcycle parking area ahead

C.A hazard or warning relevant to motorcyclists ahead

D.A speed camera zone

A.120 kW per tonne

B.200 kW per tonne

C.150 kW per tonne

D.100 kW per tonne

Explanation: Under Queensland's Learner Approved Motorcycle (LAM) scheme, motorcycles must have a power-to-weight ratio not exceeding 150 kilowatts per tonne (kW/t). The maximum engine capacity is 660 mL. The scheme ensures learners and new RE licence holders ride manageable bikes.

10What L plate display rule applies to RE learner motorcycle riders in Queensland?

A.An L plate must be displayed at the rear of the motorcycle, or the rider may wear a vest showing a capital L on the back

B.An L plate must be displayed on the front of the motorcycle only

C.L plates must be displayed on both the front and rear of the motorcycle

D.There is no L plate requirement if you have completed the Q-Ride course

Explanation: Queensland RE learner riders must clearly display an L plate at the rear of the motorcycle or wear a vest that clearly displays a capital 'L' on the back. Failure to correctly display L plates can result in a fine for both the learner and the supervisor.
