Always keep both feet on the footrests for better control. Motorcyclists must not drag their feet on the ground at any time while driving.

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.

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.

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.

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

Reduce speed when approaching an object or pothole and maintain a firm grip on the handlebars to ensure that the motorcycle stays upright and does not turn. While raising yourself, it is essential to grip the handlebar firmly so that your hands do not slip.

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.

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.

Avoid other drivers’ blind spots whenever possible. Use caution when you have no choice but to drive in someone's blind spot. If possible, avoid having other vehicles drive in your blind spot: slow down, speed up, or change lanes as the situation warrants.

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.
