M1 and riding on the highway?

You mean other than having your licence suspended for a month, bike impounded, and insurance companies not touching you with a 10' pole afterwards?

Not much.
 
Why not just wait the 60 days... In reality its not that long of a time vs the consequences.

its a perfectly reasonable question. I didn't know the specific penallties for riding on the "highway"


M1
4. The motorcycle may not be driven on a highway with a speed limit in excess of 80 kilometres per hour other than those parts of the King’s Highway known as Nos. 11, 17, 61, 69, 71, 101, 102, 144 and 655. O.

If the OP is referring to 100km/h max highways ..and I suspect he is ... wouldn't the penalties would be the same as driving a car or riding a bike on any road WITHOUT a licence because he is not LICENCED to do so. There must be a hefty fine too.
but off the record.. almost every rider i know took the risk ...just for the rush.

In not condoning it..but you don't have a big M1 sign FLASHING on your back and if you are not speeding or driving poorly your not likely to be pulled over.
For gods sake get some kms under your belt before you do but its not like your going to be a lot safer on day 2 of your M2 than day 44 of your M1.

If your plate is under your own name, then it's pretty easy to see the license attached. Cop doesn't even need to get out of the car.
 
Improper license class is the charge.
Don't do it. If you wreck on the highway with an M1 license your claim is denied.

If you're ever doing anything on the roads for the rush, do us all and yourself a favour; put your licence in the shredder and purchase a bus pass.

Don't some places have an automated system that scans plates and indicates which should be pulled over?
 
There are specific charges for failing to comply with the conditions of your licence, see O.Reg 340/94. ie. Class M1 licence holder - drive on prohibited highway, etc...

It's not that you have the wrong class of licence, or are not licenced at all, just that the conditions that are imposed upon your novice class are not complied with. These charges are $110 tickets vs. the "drive motor vehicle - no licence" at $325.

My vote is to just wait until you get your M2 under your belt, then get out there and pretend you're God's gift to motorcycling like everyone else with an M2.
