About the Newfoundland and Labrador Class 6 tests

To ride as a learner in Newfoundland and Labrador you need a Class 6 Level I licence. You pass a balance test, a written test, a sign test and a vision test. The written test covers safe riding, rules of the road, signs and signals, and licensing, from the Driver's Handbook and the Highway Traffic Act. The practice tests on this page cover all of it, with every answer explained. Learning to drive a car instead? Use our main Newfoundland and Labrador page.

What the test covers

Sample questions

A few questions from the practice bank. Tap one to see the answer.

On which highways is a Class 6 Level I rider not allowed?

Where the posted speed limit is over 80 km/h

Highways with a limit of 80 km/h or less are allowed.

How much of a motorcycle's stopping power does the front brake provide?

About three-quarters

That's why the front brake is the more important of the two.

What are the three S's for braking hard in a turn?

Straighten, Square, Squeeze

Get the motorcycle upright, square the handlebars, then brake.

In the straight line brake test, where must your front wheel stop?

Within 60 cm short of the stop line

The front wheel can't go over the stop line.

Approaching two lanes of vehicles stopped at a traffic light, you should:

Stop behind the last vehicle in either lane

Never ride between two lanes of traffic.

If your throttle sticks, what should you do first?

Squeeze the clutch lever right away

If that doesn't fix it, use the kill switch, steer off the road and stop.

The contact patch of your two tires on the road is about the size of:

Your two fists

Weather, the road surface, your tires and their pressure all affect it.

How to study

  1. Read the Newfoundland and Labrador Driver's Handbook: the motorcycle licensing pages, the Motorcycle Safety chapter and the rules of the road and signs chapters.
  2. Take a full practice test: 40 mixed questions on motorcycles, rules and signs, 34 to pass.
  3. Review the questions you missed, then use Smart practice to drill your weak topics.
  4. When you score 34 or more several times in a row, you're ready for the real tests.

Frequently asked questions

Which tests do I take for a Class 6 learner's licence in Newfoundland and Labrador?

A balance test, a written test, a sign test and a vision test, in any order. An approved motorcycle safety course can replace the balance test. Once all are passed and you pay the fee, you get a Class 6 Level I (learner) licence.

How many questions are on the motorcycle test, and what do I need to pass?

Newfoundland and Labrador's written tests need 85% to pass, but the province doesn't publish the number of questions on the motorcycle test. Our full practice test has 40 mixed questions (28 on motorcycles and rules, 12 signs) with 34 correct to pass, the same format as our Class 5 page.

What does the written test cover?

Safe driving practices for motorcycle riders, rules of the road, traffic control signs and signals, and licensing information. The questions are based on the Driver's Handbook and the Highway Traffic Act.

How much does it cost?

A Class 6I licence is $60 and is valid for two years. The Class 6 road test is $78. A Class 6 or 6II licence, valid five years, is $125. These are from the provincial fee schedule (December 2023).

What are the rules for a Class 6 learner?

Ride with a licensed motorcycle driver who has four years' experience, on another motorcycle or in a motor vehicle; zero blood alcohol for both of you; no passengers; no riding from half an hour before sunset to half an hour after sunrise; and no highways where the speed limit is over 80 km/h.

How long until I can take the motorcycle road test?

12 months as a learner if this is your first licence, or eight months with a recognized motorcycle training course. If you already hold a full licence, it's three months, or one month with an approved course.

Are these the real Newfoundland and Labrador test questions?

No. Every question here is original, written from the Newfoundland and Labrador Driver's Handbook and Motor Registration's pages. This site is not affiliated with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

How many practice questions are there?

511: 211 motorcycle questions, 199 rules of the road questions and 101 road sign questions. Practice tests don't repeat a question until you have seen every question in that part.
