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.

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.

The test must be taken while the M1 licence is still valid, which is for 90 days from the date it was issued. People taking a Ministry-authorised 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.

Every vehicle using public roads in Ontario must have a legal license plate. Drivers are required to carry proof of insurance as well as the vehicle permit for the vehicle being driven.

Make sure you can stop safely, if not clear the intersection if you can do so safely.

Mirrors only give a partial view of the road; there are blind spots even with motorcycles. It is important to perform a shoulder check before changing lanes, even if the mirror suggests the lane is clear.

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

Staying the legal speed of traffic is a way to travel safely. However, condition of the road like rain should always be considered. Travel safely at all time.

Railway crossings are potentially hazardous due to the fact that trains travel much faster than they seem, and cannot stop quickly. It can take 2 km or more for a train to stop even when brakes are fully applied. Never depend on a train to be able to stop on time to avoid you, and drive on only once the train has passed. Other hazards at railway crossings may include having to stop for other vehicles, and the loss of traction which can occur because train tracks are slippery at all times, and more so when they are wet.

Motorcyclists should only drive in a right or left lane in order to have a blocking position. Blocking positions are important because they prevent other drivers from driving too close to the motorcycle.
