Sample Ontario M1 Motorcycle Knowledge Test Exam Questions

Question 1

What is the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for an M1 novice rider in Ontario?

  • A. Strict zero percent (0.00%) BAC at all times when riding on public roads
  • B. Under 0.05% BAC if the rider is at least 21 years of age
  • C. Under 0.08% BAC in accordance with standard Criminal Code
  • D. Under 0.02% BAC to account for minor accidental exposure

Explanation: Ontario sets a blood alcohol concentration of zero, and a zero drug tolerance rule, for all novice drivers and riders in the graduated licensing system.

Question 2

What is the primary safety reason for maintaining the 'blocking position' in your lane?

  • A. To maximize visibility, see ahead clearly, and prevent cars from sharing your lane
  • B. To force oncoming vehicles to move onto the gravel shoulder when passing you
  • C. To align your tires directly with the painted center road marking lines
  • D. To allow trailing vehicles to overtake you without changing into another lane

Explanation: The blocking position establishes your presence in the lane, makes you visible in rear-view mirrors, gives you sight distance ahead, and discourages drivers from crowding your lane.

Question 3

At how many accumulated demerit points is a novice rider (M1 or M2) suspended under Ontario's Demerit Point System?

  • A. 9 or more demerit points
  • B. 2 or more demerit points
  • C. 4 or more demerit points
  • D. 15 or more demerit points

Explanation: Under O. Reg. 339/94 s. 17, a novice driver with nine or more accumulated demerit points is suspended (60 days for a first suspension). Two to five points bring a warning notice and six to eight can bring an interview; 15 points is the threshold for fully licensed drivers.

Question 4

If you pull off the road and need help, what signal do motorcycle drivers use?

  • A. Place your helmet on the ground near the road so it can be seen
  • B. Flash your headlight on high beam repeatedly toward passing cars
  • C. Park the motorcycle across the shoulder to block passing traffic
  • D. Wave your right arm up and down beside the motorcycle

Explanation: If you need help, place your helmet on the ground near the road. This is a signal among motorcycle drivers that a motorcyclist needs help.
