A motorcycle training course designed and/or authorized by the Ministry will ensure new drivers learn the necessary skills and develop the know-how to drive safely. Most courses provide the Level 1 exit test as part of the course and reduce the length of time needed at the M2 level.

A seized engine means the engine has frozen or become locked. There are usually some warning signs before this happens, so motorcyclists have some time to react before the engine seizes and the wheels lock. It is important to stop and pull over before that happens.

It is important to look far ahead to be prepared for potential problems. This gives drivers more time to react, helps prevent panic, and reduces the likelihood of rash decisions that could result in accidents.

Drivers must ensure that they slow down as much as needed before taking turns. Taking a turn too quickly is dangerous and results in many motorcycle accidents. Attempting to brake during the turn can also result in the driver having an accident.

The newly-purchased vehicle must be registered within 6 days at a Driver and License Issuing Office. At the time of registration, the purchaser must present a Used Vehicle Information package, usually provided by the seller, which includes required details about the vehicle.

The edges of the road collect the most gravel, sand, and debris. Winds and the tires of fast-moving vehicles send the gravel, sand, and debris to the side. Motorcyclists should steer clear of road edges when entering or leaving a freeway or when making turns at intersections.

Always follow the rules of the road when attempting to pass other vehicles. Do not attempt to pass when oncoming traffic is too close to pass safely. Be sure to accurately judge the time and distance required to safely pass other vehicles.

The clutch is the lever on the left handlebar of the motorcycle. You must disengage the clutch when changing gears.

It is always important to carry the required documents when riding your motorcycle.

If these steps are not followed correctly, the motorcycle will most likely not start. Once the engine starts, a motorcyclist should change to first gear keeping feet on the ground. Apply the throttle slightly, releasing the clutch slowly as the motorcycle begins to move forward. Move feet to the footrests, continue to release the clutch, and accelerate as needed to drive forward. Shift to second gear using the clutch and throttle appropriately when the motorcycle reaches the correct speed.
