To ride as a learner in Nova Scotia you need a learner motorcycle licence (Class LM). You pass a written test on motorcycle safety rules, from Chapter 8 of the Nova Scotia Driver's Handbook, and a practical skills (balance) test on your motorcycle. New riders with no driver's licence first qualify for a Class 7 learner's licence: road signs and rules of the road. The practice tests on this page cover the motorcycle rules test and the road signs, with every answer explained. For the Class 7 rules test, use our main Nova Scotia page.
