There is no penalty for riding one-handed, unless it is deemed to be "dangerous riding", for which then you could be awarded 12 or 24 demerit points.

As long as you were in control of your motorcycle and not performing a stunt or weaving in and out of traffic, you should be fine.

But please always keep both hands on the handlebar! Safety is most important!

P.S. The TP didn't chase you down right?

bro, if TP want to catch, they can use any reason. u can lose control or balance if using one hand. Consequences are very serious. what if there is vehicle swayed towards u? Moreover driving centre nvr teach one hand riding bike.

Second that.

Think the main thing is that TP might deem unsafe riding.
