- Licence: M1
- Authority: MTO / DriveTest
- Test: 64 questions (practice standard)
- Pass: 80%
The M1 test has sections on road signs, rules of the road, and motorcycle knowledge, and you need a total score of at least 80% to pass. Results are valid for one year — if you retry within that year, you only rewrite the sections that didn't meet MTO's standard. Source: MTO / DriveTest
Ontario sample questions
1. Rider training courses in Ontario are:
- A waste of time
- Optional, but an approved course lets you take the Level One road test in the course and cuts M2 from 22 months to 18
- Only for racers
- Illegal
Show answer
Answer: Optional, but an approved course lets you take the Level One road test in the course and cuts M2 from 22 months to 18. An MTO-approved rider training course lets you take the Level One road test as part of the course, and completing an approved course cuts the M2 stage from 22 months to 18.
2. Practising for your knowledge test with this app:
- Replaces the official test
- Is unofficial practice — verify current rules with DriveTest (for the MTO)
- Guarantees a pass
- Counts as rider training
Show answer
Answer: Is unofficial practice — verify current rules with DriveTest (for the MTO). This is an unofficial practice tool. Confirm current rules and test details with DriveTest (for the MTO).
3. Learner-stage restrictions for new riders exist because:
- Learners cannot read maps
- New riders face their highest collision risk early on
- Insurance companies require passengers
- It is a tradition
Show answer
Answer: New riders face their highest collision risk early on. Crash risk is highest in a rider's first months — learner conditions manage that risk.
4. Riding outside the conditions of your M1 stage can result in:
- Nothing if you are careful
- Penalties and a delayed progression to your full licence
- A free retest
- An automatic upgrade
Show answer
Answer: Penalties and a delayed progression to your full licence. Violating learner conditions brings penalties and can restart or delay your graduated licensing progress.
5. While in the M1 stage, carrying a passenger is:
- Encouraged for balance practice
- Generally prohibited
- Required for the road test
- Allowed only on highways
Show answer
Answer: Generally prohibited. M1 riders may not carry passengers.
