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.

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.

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

It is always important to yield the right of way to avoid an accendent and to stay safe on the road. This is for you and other drivers.

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.

The expression, "right of way", is a quick way to remember that the vehicle approaching from the right is to proceed first. Some drivers do not observe the 'right of way' rule; always enter the intersection carefully, and be aware of the actions of other drivers.

It is important to be able to anticipate the passing of other vehicles to ensure you are in the prorper lane position.

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.

Slowing down and maintaining a greater distance from vehicles in front is advised, especially when roads are wet and intense glare hampers other drivers’ ability to identify a motorcycle amongst all the traffic.

The M licensing process is graduated, much like the G licence. It begins with a written test for the M1. The M1 exit test to get an M2 may be attempted after 60 days, and must be successfully completed before the 90-day expiration date or a new M1 licence must be obtained (M1 tests may be attempted before 60 days when they are offered as part of a Ministry-approved safety course). Application for the M licence is not permitted earlier than 20 months after obtaining an M2 licence provided a safety course is taken, hence a total of 22 months. If a safety course is not taken, a waiting period of 24 months is required.
