Sunny breaks the New Brunswick handbook into short lessons in plain language, plays them aloud if you like, and checks what you remember before moving on.

Why motorcycle riders should read the New Brunswick handbook once

Every question on the Class 7 knowledge test comes from what Service New Brunswick (SNB) publishes in this handbook. Our 221 practice questions for New Brunswick are written from it too, so reading it once and then testing yourself is faster than doing either alone.

Read it end to end once, then use practice questions to find the parts you have not absorbed.

What the New Brunswick handbook covers for motorcycle riders

These 10 pages are the whole of what the test can draw on. Reading the list below is a quick way to find the parts you have not looked at yet.

  • Getting a motorcycle licence and the stages before a full one
  • Helmets, eye protection and the rest of your gear
  • Pre-ride inspection and what to check every time
  • Riding position and where to sit in the lane
  • Countersteering, cornering and control at speed
  • Braking with both wheels, and what to do when one locks
  • Shifting, downshifting and starting on a hill
  • Being seen: conspicuity, lane position and blind spots
  • Gravel, wet paint, grates, ruts and other poor surfaces
  • Group riding and following distance
  • Emergencies: quick stops, obstacles, wobbles and blowouts

New Brunswick test facts for motorcycle riders

Every figure here is Service New Brunswick (SNB)'s own for the Class 7 knowledge test, not a national average. Provinces genuinely differ, and studying another province's number is a common way to fail.
