Display Your L Sign
All Yukon motorcycle learners must display an 'L' sign when operating a motorcycle.
Supervised Driving
You must drive your motorcycle at the Class 6 learner stage with a supervising/co-rider. The supervising co-driver can be seated behind the learner, however it's recommended that the co-driver follow in or on another vehicle. The co-driver must be fully licensed and maintain a BAC (blood alcohol concentration) level of zero when supervising.
No Alcohol
The learner riders BAC level must also be zero when operating a motorcycle.
