Hi

Few weeks back I got my M license. Should call my insurance company and let them know or would they get it from the ministry directly.

Thank you.

Likely wouldn't catch it until they pulled your record, might as well let them know.
 
Didn't make a difference on rates when I called my insurance company (TD Meloche). They said it's years of experience that matters.
 
M doesn't expire. thats the only difference with m2. so makes sense not to effect insurance rate
 
Yeah, a buddy who last rode probably 40 years ago had to check his license recently to see if it still had the M next to the G. It did.

Alcohol prohibition is the big one. While riding and drinking is a bad idea to start with, 1 drink violates the zero tolerance rules -- see how insurers view a conviction and licence a suspension for blowing .01.
 

Get a motorcycle licence

If you are at least 16 years old, you can apply for a motorcycle licence in Ontario. If you are a new rider, you will need to practice riding and gain experience over time. Here’s how to get a motorcycle licence.

Question is what is allowed alcohol level for M?

Same as a car.

However you now get warnings (and suspensions? Someone correct me) for being under the legal limit in all vehicles.
 
What counts as impaired driving
Impaired driving means operating a vehicle (including cars, trucks, boats, snowmobiles and off-road vehicles) while your ability to do so has been compromised to any degree by consuming alcohol, drugs or a combination of the two.

Fully Licensed Drivers
Throughout Canada, the maximum legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for fully licensed drivers is to be under 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, or 0.08. Driving with a BAC of 0.08 or over is a criminal offence and the penalties are severe.

In Ontario, you will also face serious consequences if your BAC is between 0.05 and 0.08. This is commonly referred to as the “warn range.”

If police determine that you are driving while impaired by any drug, including illegal drugs, cannabis, prescription and over-the-counter medications, you will face severe consequences and criminal charges.

"Bus" is not listed and has zero tolerance.

I've heard recently M also doesn't allow any alcohol. I don't know and personally I don't care since I drink very rarely and never ride after that.

regarding the insurance, I've heard some companies increase their rate when moving from G2 to G (now driver can have alcohol in blood)!

Anyway, M2 and M, no change.
