Ontario M1 Test case studies

Ontario M1 Test · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The M1 is Ontario's entry-level motorcycle licence, issued after you pass an eye test and a written knowledge test at a DriveTest centre. It is for new riders aged 16 or older who want to begin Ontario's graduated motorcycle licensing process, which runs M1, then M2, then a full M licence. The written test covers two areas: the rules of the road and traffic signs. Passing it grants an M1 licence valid for 90 days, during which you ride only in daylight, always alone, with zero blood alcohol, and not on roads with speed limits over 80 km/hour except the highways the province lists. The Ontario M1 Test case studies are 5 cases and about 2,503 words.
