Motorcycle School - How to Pass a Driver's License Test

The completion of a motorcycle training course can usually eliminate the need to take the driver's test. The course will teach you how to spot other drivers, keep a safe distance behind them, and to ride at a safe levels of competence.

The classroom instruction as well as the riding time are part of the course. Make sure you arrive on time. Late arrivals could cause disruption to the course schedule.

Classroom Instruction

Whether you're brand new to riding or want to sharpen your skills and improve your skills, the MSF Basic Rider Course (BRC) is ideal for you. This course is a combination of classroom instruction and real motorcycle/scooter operation training in an off-street, controlled environment. The BRC is designed for beginners and will help you avoid the MVC road test. It also teaches street strategies such as maximum braking efficiency, maneuvering in tight situations and lane changes, passing and avoiding hazards.

The five-hour ePackage 1 (eP1) is an eCourse that can be completed as a stand-alone course or as a prerequisite to the hands-on portion of the full BRC. The eCourse includes videos, interactive lessons and graphics that will assist you in understanding the fundamentals of motorcycling. You could qualify for insurance discounts if you successfully complete the course.

The ePackage 1 must be completed in 30 days from the start date of your BRC course in order to receive a certificate and participate in the riding skill evaluation. No refund will be given when the eCourse is not been completed. For participation in the hands-on BRC, participants must have an VALID driver's license.

The CLASS program is a two-day rider training class which allows you to improve your riding skills in the safety and security of a riding setting using a street legal scooter or motorcycle supplied by the school. The class is taught by MSF Certified Instructors. The focus is on building your confidence, skills and understanding of the motorcycle/scooter operating systems. The class consists of instruction in the classroom as well as riding exercises, and a ride-skills assessment.

The course is based upon the teachings of 3 time AMA Superbike Champion Reg Pridmore and his hand picked team of instructors. Their philosophy is the result of more than 50 years of racing and riding, as well as teaching. These concepts are presented in simple language to make them simple to grasp and apply. The result is a more confident rider who is more confident, competent and secure.

Practice Range

A significant part of your motorcycle school will take place at a practice field which allows you to refine and test your riding skills in a controlled setting. The site will usually be blocked off from traffic so that you can practice in a safe area. Your RiderCoach will guide you through the basic controls of your vehicle and the steps to follow before taking you on the range. At the end of each session on the range, your RiderCoach will score you on five skill-based evaluation exercises that focus on limited-space maneuvers as well as braking and cornering. If you get through the riding-skills evaluation, you will receive a BRC Road Test Waiver Completion Card (a license waiver).

You must bring your motorcycle safety equipment to class. Your RiderCoach can provide helmets for students who don't already have one. However, make sure to wear a DOT approved helmet. Wear long pants made of a non-flare material, full-finger gloves and ankle-high boots, or shoes, and eye protection.

In the course of an instructor-led motorcycle safety class, you will likely spend approximately five hours in the classroom, learning the fundamentals of your bike and its operation prior to when you head out to ride on the range. When you arrive, your instructor will help you develop your riding skills by guiding you through straight-line riding as well as turning and shifting as you progress to more advanced maneuvers, such as emergency brakes and swerving. The course will end with a final riding-skill evaluation at which point you'll receive an award of completion and may be eligible for a discount on motorcycle insurance.

In many states, a motorbike safety course is required to get a license. Check with your local DMV office to find out if it is mandatory or recommended. Also, be sure to enroll in an approved program by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation that can be used as a road test waiver by the DMV.

The MSF's Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginners and can be taken at a variety of locations across the United States. It combines about five hours of instruction in the classroom with 10 hours of riding and is the fastest path to a motorcycle permit and also a possible insurance discount.

"The instructors were extremely professional and knowledgeable. They truly take care of their students and it does show. They will teach you the fundamentals of riding on a motorbike. This class is highly recommended for every rider, regardless of age or previous experience.

The classroom instruction was informative and thought-provoking. The riding instruction was a combination of the theory and the practice, but the real highlight was the feedback from the instructor. They did not simply say "OK" they would tell you exactly what went wrong, like for instance, "You were looking down at the handlebars" or "You did not give it enough gas" or "Your wrists were bent" or "You switched gears too quickly" or "You were not pushing down on the foot peg". They then explained how to fix the issue.

This kind of personal coaching is the price you pay for a high-quality training session and what sets this course apart from other. Some riders may find this unnatural, but I believe it is essential to give students the best chance at passing the test and riding safely.

I've attended other courses in the past and there was no individual feedback from the instructor. There's no reason that instructors should have the final say in whether a student can pass a course unless they are clearly threatening or hindering others in the class.

I believe that any school offering moto without personal coaching is missing an essential component of their curriculum, and doesn't deserve the high marks they receive in student reviews. The most efficient way to learn quickly and safely is to take the Basic RiderCourse followed by private lessons. You can learn from an expert learn from a professional, avoid bad habits and start riding with confidence and the skills you will use for the rest of your life. Most states do not require written and riding license endorsement tests for students who have completed a specialized RiderCourse and a few insurance companies offer discounts to those who have completed the course.

Final Exam

In the second portion of the class, you'll learn road skills, like braking and acceleration, shifting gears, turning and turning and swerving. This portion of the course will last until you have passed the riding skill test. This portion of the class will determine if you'll be granted a motorcycle license waiver card. The test will include the maneuvers that a DMV driver's examiner is looking for during the driver's license exam. It's fine if you don't pass the test. Just work hard to pass the next time around and keep up the good work.



If you pass the test the instructor will issue you a certificate of accomplishment which can be used to get a motorcycle insurance reduction. You are now a certified motorcyclist, and you can legally ride your bike on public roads.

The MSF 3-wheel BRC is a scientifically-based and action-oriented core curriculum designed to teach beginning 3-wheel motorcyclists of all ages physical and mental abilities required for safe riding on the street.
