I have a question for those how have done the M1 Exit without taking an RTI course. I got my M1 licence a couple of weeks ago and booked my M1 Exit test for July 23[SUP]rd[/SUP],I will not be taking the course. My question is, are there differences between the testing procedures at an RTI course vs. not taking the course? Everyone that I know who rides has taken the course and they all tell me the same testing procedure, however, when I do some reading online, there seems to be the “serpentine” cone test that’s not tested in RTI or walking the bike in a figure 8.
Has testing procedure changed from the past 2/3 years?

Thanks

p.s. I've been riding track for 2 seasons, so i'm not a complete greenhorn :)
 
The MTO test is very different from the courses as I recall...I think there was a post in the Archives comparing the 2
 
I did the MTO test last fall - from what I understand it is significantly different from the RTI course. Very simple really. The only complicated part is the serpentine which you might benefit from some practice first. The MTO provided book explains the full test.
 
So I wasn't going crazy haha, I guess I'll need to find a copy of the handbook to borrow and read regarding the full test.

Thanks fellas!
 
You receive an insurance discount after taking the course, as well as all of the stuff they teach you, so you really should do it.

We had a girl drop her bike a handful of times and she still passed if you're worried about failing the course.

Not true there is no insurance discount.

There was an insurance discount for me. approx. 30% when I did it 4 years ago. Not sure if things have changed since then. You can also write off the course on your income tax as continuing education, if you take the course at an approved College.
 
Insurance discounts vary by insurer, and may vary by program or program sponsor. Most insurance companies give a break for Canada Safety Council sponsored courses.

The tax write off is pretty awesome, although the whole cost isn't covered. I took my course at Niagara college which was 460, only 360 could be written off, the other 100 was for materials which couldn't be claimed

I'm not worried of failing the course, I'm actually quite confident I will pass. I called around for insurance rates and the discount I would receive is less than the cost of the course, so it's not that much of an incentive to take the course.

I had no idea you can write off the course to your income tax, that's pretty sweet.
 
If all you're worried about is cost. Look at this way. Cost of course minus (possible insurance discount) minus tax write off percent minus what you would of payed to do the test at the MTO. In the end the out of pocket extra cost is probably less than $100.

Then decide if taking a course is worth it. For me it was an easy decision since I've never been on a bike before.

You can write off the course ? In what means ?
 
When you take the course at an approved College . You can write it off as Tuition fees. Thats the difference between taking the course at something like RTI or say Humber,Durham,Centenial College etc. Call them up to confirm. When I did my course in 2009 I wrote it off on my 2009 taxes. I would confirm to make sure the tax rules haven't changed since.
 
just ask the school if they provide t2202a tax receipts, most schools don't, only the real colleges (humber, centennial) will provide it IIRC

As you said, only the real colleges (humber, centennial) are Canada Safety Council approved
 
Lol course Natzis are out - guy said he is pretty confident and does not want to take the course but yet people keep on pushing

It is a very interesting behavior

Good luck with the test RedDemon
