Always slow down as much as possible whenever possible before reaching a slippery spot. Slippery surfaces can be dangerous because they cause tires to lose traction on the road and increase the possibility of skids and accidents.

The test must be taken while the M1 license is still valid, which is for 90 days from the date it was issued. People taking a Ministry-authorized training program can do the M1 exit test any time but may not acquire the M2 permit from the Ministry until a period of 60 days has passed.

Although the front brakes account for three-quarters of the stopping force, it is important to apply both brakes together. Do not apply the brakes too forcefully (do not jam on the brakes): the tires can become locked and result in the motorcycle skidding.

It is dangerous to ignore other drivers or allow them to share a lane with the motorcycle. Maintaining proper blocking position is the most reliable method of discouraging other drivers from trying to share lanes. When driving in the right lane the blocking position is the left tire track under normal conditions; when driving in the left lane, the blocking position is normally the right tire track. It is unsafe to drive in the centre lane because there is no effective blocking position.

The Ministry of Transportation authorizes inspection stations to examine and verify motorcycles. The Safety Standards Certificate is documented proof that the vehicle has passed the inspection. The certificate is valid for 36 days.

In addition, the existing M1 license must be taken to the M1 exit test.

M2 holders by law must have 0.00 blood alcohol level, and must not drive after having consumed alcohol. It is dangerous to operate a motorcycle after consuming alcohol.

M1 holders by law must have 0.00 blood alcohol level, and must not drive after having consumed alcohol. It is dangerous to operate a motorcycle after consuming alcohol.

The motorcycle rider must ensure that the motorcycle is secure, comfortable and the correct size in order to ensure a safe ride. Before driving, be sure to sit on the motorcycle seat and check to see if both feet can rest flat on the ground. If they cannot, the motorcycle is probably the wrong size.

Tires are just one of the controls that must be inspected regularly to ensure safety when driving a motorcycle. It is important to inspect these parts because motorcyclists are at greater risk if breakdown occurs.

Reduce speed when approaching an object or pothole and maintain a firm grip on the handlebars to ensure that the motorcycle stays upright and does not turn. While raising yourself, it is essential to grip the handlebar firmly so that your hands do not slip.

Downshifting while reducing speed prevents sudden jerking of the motorcycle. In addition to downshifting, applying both sets of brakes to reduce speed or come to a stop is important because brake lights help motorists behind the motorcycle realize that a change in speed is occurring.

Fatigue, ill health, mental strain or disturbance all hamper one's judgment, concentration and alertness. It is important not to drive under these conditions.

The category of the motorcycle used in the M1 exit test determines the type of license that will be issued. Use of a limited speed motorcycle in the M1 exit test will result in an M2 license with the L condition.

The throttle is located on the right handgrip and helps control the speed of the motorcycle. When twisted inward towards the rider, the throttle releases fuel which flows to the engine.

The rider must also wear a helmet at all times. The motorcycle must be registered. The rider must have valid liability insurance.

The front and rear brakes should ideally be applied together every time, even though front brakes exert greater stopping force.

The passenger (pillion rider) should hold onto the motorcyclist securely and not move needlessly or do anything to distract the driver.

Driving alongside another motorcyclist when entering or leaving freeways, or on curves and turns in the road must be avoided. If there is an unexpected problem on the road, there will be no room to maneuver in order to avoid the problem.

One should never secure the cargo to the back of the seat since this changes the weight and balance of the motorcycle by changing the centre of gravity.

Footrests ensure the passenger's position is stable; without them, the passenger could fall or even cause the driver to fall.

A number of nighttime accidents occur because motorcyclists are not visible to other drivers on the road. Bright colours and reflective gear can help counter this problem.

Mirrors play an important role in keeping track of what is on the road around the motorcycle. Use of mirrors should be combined with shoulder checks for maximum safety; neither should be used as a replacement for the other.

The driver must have an M2 or M license; M1 drivers are not permitted to carry passengers.

According to the Highway Traffic Act, mopeds are not considered to be motorcycles, but in order to drive a moped on a public road, drivers are required to have an M1, M2, or M license.

It is essential to have fully functional horns on motorcycles; the horn is one way a motorcyclist can communicate with drivers of other vehicles.
