ProcedureEdit

  1. Take the M1 Knowledge Test. After passing the M1 Knowledge Test and the Vision test, you will be given an M1 (Level 1) License. M1 (Level One) License lasts at least sixty days and is valid for up to ninety days.
  2. At the end of M1 license (just like with G1 license) you will have to pass a Ministry-approved M1 Road Motorcycle Test in order to get your M2 (Level 2) motorcycle license. M2 license, in its turn, lasts twenty-two months, or eighteen months if you take a Ministry-approved safety course. Presumably, with M2 license you should now have enough skills and experience to carry a passenger with you and ride at any time (day or night) on any Ontario road. Please remember that you must still not drink any alcohol if you will be riding.
  3. It takes at least twenty months from when you start in M1 license until you can take your M2 Road Motorcycle Test to earn a Full M License.

InstructionsEdit

  • To drive a motorcycle, you will need an M Class license. The type of license you get will depend on the type of motorcycle you want to drive. The three main types are:
    • M (includes M1 and M2): for full-speed motorcycles.
    • M with condition L (includes M1 and M2-L): for mopeds and motorized scooters (also called limited-speed motorcycles).
    • M with condition M (includes M1 and M2-M): for three-wheeled motorcycles.

Learn to drive: graduated licensing
After you pass your eye and written tests, you get an M1 license. Before you get a full M license, you have to:

  • Finish two learning levels:
    • M1 and M2 (for full-speed motorcycles)
    • M1 and M2-L (for mopeds and motorized scooters)
    • M1 and M2-M (for three-wheeled motorcycles)
  • Pass two road tests.

Once you get your M2 license, you have up to five years to finish the learning process. After five years, if you do not get your full license, you will need to start over.

M1 license
By law, if you have an M1 license, you must:

  • Maintain a zero blood alcohol level (no alcohol in your blood)
  • Ride only during daylight hours ( hour before sunrise to hour after sunset)
  • Wear an approved helmet
  • Not drive on roads with speed limits over 80 km/hour except highways 11, 17, 61, 69, 71, 101, 102, 144 and 655
  • Always drive alone. You may not carry passengers.

You need to wait at least 60 days before you can take your first road test. Your M1 license is valid for 90 days. If the license expires, you will need to start over.

M2 license
After you pass the M1 road test, you get an M2 license. You can now ride at night and on any road. You must still wear a helmet and maintain a zero blood alcohol level.

After 22 months, you can take the second road test. If you pass, you get a full M license.
If you take a recognized Motorcycle Safety Course, you can take the test after just 18 months.
If you have an M2 with condition L license (M2-L)
If you have an M2 with condition M license (M2-M)

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.
