Driver's License Test Prep
Nevada Practice Vehicle Equipment

You ride a motorcycle that does not have a windshield or screen. What protective equipment does the Nevada manual say you should wear?

  1. A.
    Steel-toed riding boots
  2. B.
    A reflective safety vest
  3. C.
    Long leather gloves
  4. D.
    A face shield or goggles Correct
The Why

The answer is "A face shield or goggles"

The Nevada manual pairs the helmet requirement with a face-protection rule: if the motorcycle does not have a windshield or screen, the rider should wear a protective face shield or goggles. The face shield stands in for the missing windshield and keeps wind, dust, and debris out of the rider's eyes.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. Steel-toed riding boots

Boots protect the feet, not the face; the manual's fallback for a missing windshield is a face shield or goggles. This answer substitutes foot protection for the face-protection guidance in the manual.

B. A reflective safety vest

A reflective vest improves visibility but is not the face protection the manual specifies for a motorcycle without a windshield. This answer reaches for the 'be visible to other drivers' rule of thumb motorcycle riders learn first, missing the manual's specific eye-protection guidance.

C. Long leather gloves

Gloves protect the hands, not the face; the manual says you should wear a face shield or goggles when there is no windshield. This answer substitutes hand protection for the face-protection guidance in the manual.
