Graduated licence programs work to save lives and prevent injuries among new drivers and riders.

Every year in Saskatchewan there are more than 300 collisions involving motorcycles, often resulting in serious injuries or even fatalities. As a new rider, you’re more likely to be in a crash, especially during your first three years of riding.

If you’re a first-time motorcycle rider, no matter what your age is, you have to:

• be at least 16 years of age (with parental or guardian approval if you’re under 18)
• hold a Class 5 or higher driver's licence
• successfully pass all stages of the MGDL program

The MGDL program moves new motorcycle riders through increasing levels of risk as they gain motorcycle driving experience. There are three stages that new riders must pass: Learner, Novice 1 and Novice 2.

You have to pay a $500 driver’s licence fee when you get your 6 Endorsement (motorcycle learner’s licence) and another $500 each time you enter the next stage of the MGDL program – Novice 1 and Novice 2 – for a total of $1,500. We don’t charge a fee if you can show proof that you successfully completed an SGI-approved motorcycle training course.
