A motorcycle permit or endorsement allows you to operate a motorcycle, motorbike, scooter, or moped on public roads.

The traffic signs test examines your ability to identify signs by shape, color, and meaning. You must score at least 80 percent to pass. The motorcycle rider skills test assesses your ability to handle normal and hazardous traffic situations. If you fail a test, you may have to wait between one and five days to retest.
