Use the closed-circuit and on-road riding practice time to master the skills needed to pass the Class 6 SAAQ motorcycle road test. Your driving instructor should have focused on all key motorcycle handling skills such as:

• Moving forward and stopping
• Riding at differing speed levels
• Navigating curves and turns
• Carrying out a slalom maneuver
• Carrying out an emergency braking maneuver
• Avoiding obstacles

You are responsible for bringing your own motorcycle to the Closed Track Road Test so make sure your motorcycle is mechanically sound.

• It should a registered, 2-wheel motorcycle with a manual transmission.
• Rental motorcycles cannot be below 400 cc capacity
• Owned motorcycles can have a lower cylinder capacity
• Off-road motorcycles, motorcycles with a side-car, 3 or 4 wheel motorcycles and motorcycles equipped with an automatic transmission are all not acceptable test motorcycles

Before the test can begin, the examiner will ask you to demonstrate the use of major controls such as:

• Headlights, low beams, high beams, rear lights and reflectors
• Turn signals
• Brakes and brake lights
• Horn

The examiner will guide you through a closed track road test and ask you to demonstrate specific motorcycle handling skills. Stay calm, confident and pay attention to your instructor's requests.

Once the test is complete you will be told if you passed or failed along with areas for improvement.

Always arrive 15-20 minutes in advance of your closed-circuit road test appointment. You will be calmer and more likely to do well on the road test if you're not rushing to your appointment.

If you have to cancel your road test appointment, make sure you give at least 48 hours notice or you will be charged a cancellation fee. If the weather is bad, call ahead to confirm that your appointment hasn't been rescheduled.

Always check the major controls on your motorcycle before leaving home, since if your vehicle does not meet test requirements, your closed track road test will be cancelled.

You need to be wearing proper motorcycle safety gear to take the SAAQ motorcycle road test. This includes:

• Ministry approved helmet
• Protective goggles if your helmet does not have a visor
• Long pants made of an anti-abrasive material
• Long sleeve jacket made of an anti-abrasive material
• Leather gloves to completely cover your hands and wrists
• Leather boots with grip soles, flat heels and ankle coverage

• Bring your 6R learner licence or one of the official documents required on the day of the knowledge test, ex. birth certificate.
• Bring the attestation of successful completion of a driving course
• If under the age of 18, bring a completed Consent of a Person Having Parental Authority form.
• Valid motorcycle registration and insurance

If you wear contacts or glasses, wear them for your closed track road test.

The cost of the Closed Track Road Test is $28 and the cost of a Quebec Class 6A Learner License is $6.65. Service outlets do not accept credit card payments so bring payment in cash/debit or cheque/money order.

If you fail the SAAQ motorcycle road test, you will need to wait 14 days before you can re-take the test. A new appointment will have to be booked for the re-take.

You have to hold a Quebec Class 6A learner license for a continuous 11 months before you become eligible for a Class 6A, 6B or 6C Quebec motorcycle license.

A Class 6A licence holder cannot drive a motorcycle between the hours of midnight and 5 am.

A Quebec Class 6A learner license holder cannot carry any passengers on his/her motorcycle.

Your alcohol level must always be at 0 when operating a motorcycle.

Always make sure you are wearing adequate protective gear when handling a motorcycle (helmet, gloves, full sleeve jacket and pants, ankle boots etc).

Quebec motorcycle learners are subject to a 4 demerit point bracket, which means your licence will be immediately suspended for a period of 3, 6 or 12 months (depending on previous demerit point history) if you exceed the 4 demerit point threshold.
