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.

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.

Avoid shifting gears on a curve by reducing speed before entering the curve as much as necessary. Shifting gears on a curve may be necessary at times to accelerate or decelerate according to road conditions, but be sure to do so smoothly and carefully.

Mirrors play an important role in keeping track of what is on the road around the motorcycle. Use of mirrors should be combined with shoulder checks for maximum safety; neither should be used as a replacement for the other.

Motorcyclists need to use their mirrors properly to ensure they are aware of their surroundings. Mirrors help motorcyclists see traffic around them, giving them greater safety. Motorcyclists should check mirrors every 5 to 7 seconds. Even after checking the mirrors, it is important for motorcyclists to do a shoulder check to visually confirm the traffic situation in advance of any action, be it turning, slowing down, changing lanes and so on.

Although the front brakes account for three-quarters of the stopping force, it is important to apply both brakes together. Do not apply the brakes too forcefully (do not jam on the brakes): the tires can become locked and result in the motorcycle skidding.
