Speed, stopping and physics: practice questions
Our Japan licence conversion (外免切替) bank has 19 questions on this topic. Here are 4 of them with answers; the full mock exam draws from every topic, like the real one.
Question 1
True or false? Centrifugal force on a bend gets bigger as the bend gets tighter (smaller radius).
- True
- False
Show the answer
A. True — Centrifugal force is larger the smaller the radius and grows with the square of speed.
Question 2
True or false? A general motorised bicycle (原付) may not go faster than 30 km/h.
- True
- False
Show the answer
A. True — General motorised bicycles are limited to 30 km/h, or lower if signed.
Question 3
True or false? Drivers of large vehicles tend to leave too long a gap because they sit high and the gap looks short.
- True
- False
Show the answer
B. False — It is the reverse: from a high seat the gap looks longer than it is, so large-vehicle drivers tend to leave too short a gap.
Question 4

- True
- False
