Newfoundland and Labrador publishes no separate motorcycle manual. Its motorcycle content is the Motorcycle Safety chapter of the Road Users Guide, which begins on page 137 and runs about eighteen pages: licensing and the balance test, protective gear, riding position, turning, braking, shifting, dangerous surfaces, night riding and emergencies. Read it alongside the rest of the guide, which the motorcycle knowledge test also draws on.

Why motorcycle riders should read the Newfoundland and Labrador handbook once
Every question on the Class 5 knowledge test comes from what Motor Registration Division (MRD) publishes in this handbook. Our 143 practice questions for Newfoundland and Labrador 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.
