We provide the motorcycles, you need to bring:

To get the most out of this course, you use your own motorcycle.  The drills are progressive, so don’t worry about dropping your bike.  You progress at your own pace.  You need to bring and wear all the appropriate safety gear and also bring your license and insurance.

Private lessons for driving a car are 90 minutes. If you wish to use a SafetyNL vehicle for your road test, you must book a minimum of 2 lessons. The first lesson will be an assessment of your driving. If, at the conclusion, the instructor agrees that you are ready for the road test, the second lesson will consist of an hour of review and the use of the SafetyNL vehicle for the road test. The instructor will arrange the date and time. Motor Registration Division requires a $78 non-commercial road test fee for any road test done in the province. This can be paid through the student’s MyGovNL account or at the local MRD office. Students will need to have a digital or paper copy of the receipt when they go for their road test. Students must have a valid permit from Newfoundland & Labrador in order to book lessons.

Private motorcycle lessons are 1 hour with an instructor. Lessons are only available between mid-May and the end of October. You must provide your own gear (see Learn More under Learn to Ride for a list of what is required) and to be on the road, you must have your permit. The balance test is only done as part of the Learn to Ride course and cannot be done during a private lesson. Please note that our instructors are not permitted to conduct road tests for anyone who has not completed our Learn to Ride program.
