Motorcycle riders must always wear DOT-approved helmets and eye protection while riding. One crucial rule specific to motorcycles is lane-splitting, which is not permitted in British Columbia. Motorcycles must stay within their designated lane and may not pass other vehicles within the same lane. It is also important for motorcycle riders to always use their turn signals and extra caution when approaching left-hand turns, as drivers may have difficulty seeing a smaller motorcycle than a larger vehicle. Finally, motorcycle riders must ensure that their motorcycle is maintained correctly, including having sufficient tire tread, working headlights and taillights, and functioning brakes. These steps can help ensure the rider’s and others’ safety on the road.

This online BC motorcycle practice test, with multiple choice questions, is intended to help you prepare for the ICBC Motorcycle driver’s test required before you can get your Motorcycle operator’s license. This free practice written driving test is a lesson that is essential for getting your ICBC motorcycle license at your local licensing office.
