They also provide the information needed for the knowledge test for riding a motorcycle and moped, and for the practical road test to obtain a licence to operate a motorcycle. The information in this guide explains best practices for motorcycle riding, but cannot cover all circumstances. The motorcycle rider must use judgement and a safety-first attitude to make decisions when riding in real on-road situations.
