Motorcycle Licenses

Part 8: What every motorcyclist must know

Some New Brunswickers enjoy the freedom and exhilaration that comes with driving a motorcycle. However, like any motor vehicle, it must be operated safely and responsibly for the safety of the driver, their passenger, and all those who share the road.

8.1 Motorcycle driver’s licence

The Class 6 licence permits the holder to operate a motorcycle and all vehicles included in Classes 6D and 9 on a street or highway.

In order to obtain a motorcycle licence you must complete all necessary require- ments of the Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL) outlined in Part 1 (pg 13).

If you already have another class of driver’s licence (ex. Class 5), a motorcycle endorsement added to that licence permits you to drive a motorcycle in New Brunswick. To qualify, you must complete the motorcycle graduated drivers’ licensing program.
