Description

This guide is about operating a motorcycle, riding one safely, and obtaining a Class 6 (motorcycle) licence. It also has information about mopeds and power-assisted bicycles. This guide is a supplement to the Driver's Guide (cars and light trucks), which outlines the rules of the road for all road users. These two guides contain the information beginner and experienced riders need to ride safely. 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.
