Use the right tire track. This ensures other drivers on the road can see the motorcyclist clearly and will help keep them from entering the lane in which the motorcyclist is driving at the time.

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.

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.

Special care should be taken when towing a trailer with a motorcycle. The trailer must have a mandatory white plate light, two red reflectors on the rear and a red tail light.

It is essential to understand that while all controls are important in the overall usage and functioning of a motorcycle, the essential controls are the ones listed here and this list also includes front brake, handlebars and clutch.

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.

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.

If a motorcycle does not have indicator signals, or if they fail to work, motorcyclists must use proper hand signals to communicate with other drivers on the road.

Communicating well with other drivers is essential for safe driving. In any given situation, motorcyclists must use appropriate methods to communicate with other drivers; in most cases, more than one method must be used to communicate well.

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.
