So you just got a motorcycle and cannot wait to take it for a ride through town, but first you should probably get your motorcycle license.
Luckily getting your motorcycle license is not all that hard and if you have a motorcycle or are thinking about getting one then you have most likely already considered getting a license. You may also have found out that it is required in every state that you have a Class M motorcycle license before you can operate your motorcycle.
When you are on your motorcycle it is simple fact that you are at a higher risk of being in a fatal crash than individuals in a car. Also keep in mind that about a quarter of motorcycle accidents involve cyclists with invalid licenses. So you can see how important it is to be prepared and comfortable when on your motorcycle.
To get your motorcycle license there are a variety of steps that you must go through and they vary somewhat from state to state but the basics are the same. For example if you are less than 18 years old you usually have to get a motorcycle permit just like you would if you were driving a car. You must be at least 15-16, complete a driver’s education course, pass the written motorcycle exam, and pass the vision screening.
These steps are just like they would be for someone getting their first driver’s license for their car.
The next stage is the license stage and you generally have to be at least 16 years old but it differs state to state and in some states you only have to be 14. You must also pass a vision screening and complete a motorcycle safety course or in some states you just have to pass a motorcycle road test and knowledge exam.As each state is different one of your first stops should be to your state’s official government website to find out what is exactly required of you in order to receive your motorcycle license.
