Stopping on a freeway is dangerous. Backing up or driving in the wrong direction is illegal, unless under the direction of a traffic officer. If an exit is missed, continue driving until the next exit, where it is safe to pull off the highway and plan an alternate route. In most places where there is an off-ramp, there is a corresponding on-ramp for the opposite direction, providing a safe way to travel back to the missed exit. Alternatively, local roads can be used to get back to the correct exit.

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

Passengers should also be instructed to keep their feet on the footrests, to lean when the driver leans, to refrain from the sudden movement, and to avoid talking to the driver.

A staggered formation allows motorcyclists to drive close to each other in a group but prevents them from driving too close or alongside one another. Using staggered formation, motorcyclists ensure they have enough room in which to safely maneuver.

Any time an uneven road surface results in a feeling of loss of control or shakiness, it is important to maintain a strong grip on the handlebars and avoid sudden movements or rash reactions.

Motorcyclists should always apply both brakes smoothly at the same time. This ensures safer, more efficient stopping. Do not apply the brakes in a sudden, jerky manner.

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.

Motorcyclists should always adjust lane position according to road conditions. When driving around a blind curve, keep an eye out for slick spots, road ruts, debris or bumps.

Driving in heavy fog is dangerous, especially for motorcyclists, so it is best not to continue driving in heavy fog. It is important not to stop in the left lane, or any part of the road that is used by traffic, since vehicles approaching from behind may not be able to see you in time to stop.

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.
