M1 written test is far too simple

It's all pretty basic knowledge if you grew up in this country, at least that's how I felt doing the G1. I never had to do my M1 or M2, I bought a bike and they govt gave it to me free with restriction then I did a safety course and M2 exit and got my full G license in about 6 months. Legal loopholes ftw.

What's the issue?

You want a written ENTRY test to be harder??! Strange... if you want to learn to ride a motorcycle, go and do it.... why do you need the ministry to hold your hand and make sure you know every little thing before you even get on it and experience it?

No but you can answer that a yield sign means that you have the right of way, when approaching a stop sign you honk your horn and proceed through, a one way sign means that you're allowed to travel in both directions and YOU WILL GET A F****EN LICENSE!
You don't see anything wrong with this?

Hi. Newbie here. I just took the M1 test today (passed) and while sitting there for 2+ hours waiting and waiting, I was shocked at how many people failed their test (all G1). I would say that it was more than 50% of the people who failed. There were even 2 people caught cheating and they were full grown adults. I just don't get it.

It was eye opening and explains a lot.

Kinda puts into perspective what the average driver is like, doesnt it?

I witnessed a truck driver fail the sign portion of a test, the people at the counter couldn't believe that this guy drives for a living and doesn't even know the signs.

Hi Caius,

I could imagined that some newcomers may have trouble, because of the language, but that 50% are failing? I don't know what to think about that. Shocking ... no sad.

Some of the possible answers were almost comical, a monkey couldn't get them wrong. One of my favorites on the M1 portion was (something like this): What should a driver tell his passenger before starting off on a motorcycle (D) How to operate the pedal brake? Really, MTO thinks that someone taking this test would actually select this option? Bizarre.

In my opinion, I think the M1 written test is much simpler then either the Boat Operators license test, or the Non-restricted firearm license test, and I don't think that a car is any less dangerous then the other two.

This is just as a point of discussion, I don't mean to offend anyone, and my opinions aren't cast in stone.

You have the option of writing the test in your own language so that theory kinda goes out the window
