   It is a criminal offence to have a blood alcohol concentration of 80 mg or more in 100 mL of blood. Many provinces set lower limits, and new riders often must have zero.

   Full-fingered riding gloves protect your hands in a fall and give a better grip. Saskatchewan, for example, requires finger-covering gloves for riders in its graduated program.

   • AClose it fully in the middle of the curve
   • BPull in the clutch and coast

    • BAs you leave the curve

    • DIt uses more fuel
