Ontario M1 Motorcycle Test - Signs 1

Motorcycle safety courses - When you take a motorcycle safety course, you will get a course certificate. If you bring this certificate to a DriveTest centre, within six months, you do not need to take the M1 road test – you move directly to the next level (M2). You also will be able to take the second road test sooner, after 18 months instead of the standard 22.

Question 6

B	Intersection ahead
C	Narrow road ahead
D	Bridge Ahead

Question 6 Explanation: 

Pavement ends; slow down and drive with caution. Gravel roads can be dangerous, especially if the road has been freshly “graded” (grading a road involves spreading a fresh layer of gravel on the road to level it out). Driving at high speeds on a thick layer of gravel could cause the vehicle to fishtail or spin, and could result in an accident.

B	You must come to a complete stop
C	Stop sign 150 meters

Question 7 Explanation: 

Drivers must stop the vehicle completely by applying the brakes firmly and ensuring that the vehicle has stopped moving. "Pausing" the vehicle by braking slightly, then continuing through the intersection without stopping completely (also known as a "rolling stop") is not considered a complete stop. Drivers who do not come to a complete stop can be charged by the police. Once the vehicle is fully stopped, drivers should wait until the way is clear before entering the intersection.

A	Need no stop for stop signs in the direction of arrows
B	Vehicles approaching from the angle shown must stop

Question 15 Explanation: 

Two-lane section of highway ahead. Slower drivers should keep to the right.

Smaller highways often have passing lanes at regular intervals to allow faster traffic to pass under safer conditions. Drivers should be aware that oncoming traffic may also use the extra lane to pass if conditions permit and are safe. “Keep Right Except to Pass” is the general rule when travelling in any situation where there are two or more lanes of traffic travelling in the same direction.

Before you submit a motorcycle loan application, consider taking a look at your credit report. Lenders see motorcycles as risky because bikes are frequently stolen or crashed. As a result, lending requirements are more strict with motorcycles then with cars.
