After you've held your motorcycle learner's licence for a minimum of 14 days, you can take a motorcycle skills test. The motorcycle skills test assesses your basic riding skills.
When you pass this test, you can ride without a qualified supervisor, and the speed restriction is removed.
However, other restrictions of the learner stage are still in effect.
Once you've passed the motorcycle skills test and held a learner's (Class 6L) licence for 30 days, you can take your Class 6 road test.
The test is about 15 minutes long, and takes place in a paved lot at slow speeds. You will be tested on your ability to operate the motorcycle, steer correctly and maintain balance and appropriate speed while performing the following maneuvers:
You will also be asked to identify controls on the motorcycle and to demonstrate hand signals.
The examiner will watch:
Use the hands-on manual for riding practice, Tuning Up for Riders.
Review the Road Sense for Riders manual.
Practise in an empty parking lot or other safe area with your supervisor watching and giving you feedback.
If you attend a certified training school, you may be able to bypass the regular motorcycle skills test. Instead, the school will assess your basic riding skills. If successful, you will be given a Certification Form. With this form you can have the supervisor and speed restrictions removed from your motorcycle learner's licence. Do this by taking the form, along with your Class 6L learner's licence to your nearest driver licensing office.
There is no fee for the motorcycle skills test. You will need to book an appointment by contacting a driver licensing office.
