Alberta Class 6 Motorcycle Test study plan

Map every Alberta rule that differs for motorcycles (lane positioning, passenger rules, helmet and equipment requirements) into a one-page reference sheet

Identify each primary control on a motorcycle (throttle, clutch, front and rear brake, shifter, turn signals) and state its function in writing

Demonstrate the friction-zone start and smooth clutch release in a parking lot for 20 minutes per session

Explain the difference between front-brake and rear-brake stopping power and when each is emphasized

Describe Alberta's lane-position and lane-sharing rules for motorcycles and state where a rider may legally position within a lane

Practice low-speed balance drills (figure-eights and slow straight-line riding) in a controlled lot

Perform controlled emergency stops from 30 km/h using both brakes, ten repetitions

Recite the pre-ride inspection checklist (tires, brakes, controls, lights, chain/belt, fluids) without notes

Interpret the meaning of lane markings (solid, dashed, double, turn lanes) as they affect motorcycle positioning

Read and explain 15 common regulatory and warning signs without reference material

Practice countersteering at speeds above 20 km/h and describe the technique in writing

Execute controlled swerves around a marked obstacle at moderate speed

Identify the three most common collision configurations involving motorcycles (left-turn across path, intersection incursion, rear-end) and state a defensive response for each

Apply the see-think-do hazard scanning routine to five described riding scenarios

Explain right-of-way rules at uncontrolled intersections, four-way stops, and when turning left across oncoming traffic

Describe how to establish and maintain a following distance appropriate for a motorcycle

Explain how surface hazards (gravel, wet paint, metal grates, tar snakes) affect traction and describe the correct response for each

Practice braking on a wet or loose surface at low speed and note the difference in feel and distance

Describe the effects of alcohol, fatigue, and cold on riding judgment and reaction time

State the visibility strategies for riding in rain, at dusk, and in a vehicle's blind spot

Recite the Alberta licensing and equipment requirements for a Class 6 rider, including passenger and helmet rules

Explain the legal and safety considerations for carrying a passenger and for carrying cargo

Describe the risks of riding in groups and state the staggered-formation and spacing rules

List the factors that increase impairment risk on a motorcycle and the legal consequences of an impaired riding charge

Work through 40 right-of-way and sign-interpretation practice items and score at least 90 percent

Explain how traffic signals, pavement markings, and signage interact at complex intersections

Describe the correct positioning and signaling for left and right turns from a motorcycle

Identify situations where a motorcycle may legally use a full lane or share a lane, and where it may not

Complete two full-length timed practice tests and score at least 85 percent on each

Review every missed item from both tests and write the correct rule or technique for each

Re-run the parking-lot skill drills (emergency stop, swerve, low-speed figure-eight) and compare against week 2 ratings

Recite the pre-ride checklist and the top five hazard responses from memory
