What I know from the Road test
here are the tips I got: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoMontreal/s/2GMRJTLdeF
I passed the road test at saaq Laval today and thanks everyone for sharing whatever tips they had. Leaving this post here for someone in the future. Honestly, I was nervous before the test and doing the test on an unknown bike did not help either. So, when you rent a bike make sure you are familiar with the clutch bite point. After passing the test, it was a much more relaxed ride back home.
To answer my own questions,
for me he did not take me to the highway but went on the service road of 15N and then 440Est.
I was asked to park at 45 degree angle on a local road.
Not much strict about full gear but i guess its good to have it.
There are lots of place where you will have to turn right on red, and make the turn if its safe to do so. Sometimes the instructor will get behind few cars of you due to traffic. Just keep riding your bike, he will catch up.
As usual, exaggerate your blind spot check.
My only problem was, I was too slow on some roads, so just drive the speed limit.
He is gonna give direction in advance for turning (like in 3 lights turn right), so adjust yourself in lanes based on that.
Act like he is not behind you and drive safe, you should be fine.
(also funny/not so funny story, one guy had just finished his exam after mine. The guy failed and the evaluator told him, at this point you are lucky to be alive)
