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

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.

Driving in rainy conditions is dangerous. There is less traction on slippery roads, and rain hampers visibility; these facts result in motorcyclists having less control, which increases the risk of accidents. Always drive safely, using smooth, careful movements

Placing the helmet on the ground near the bike is a universal signal to alert other drivers that help is needed.

M1 drivers are barred by law from carrying passengers. Even M2 motorcyclists are advised to avoid carrying heavy cargo or passengers as much as possible.

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.

Checking mirrors frequently helps motorcyclists keep track of what is going on around them so they avoid surprises. It is essential to check the mirrors regularly during poor weather, when visibility is poor, on highways and while slowing down or turning.

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.

It is important to ensure that you are clearly visible to all the other drivers on the freeway. Using the turn signal at the entrance ramp ensures that freeway traffic can see the motorcycle, and you, as early as possible.

Lane splitting refers to driving between vehicles in adjacent lanes (ie. along the white line between lanes). It is very dangerous because the slightest shift in position from any of the other vehicles can result in an accident since there is very little room for the motorcyclist to maneuver.
