The Connecticut Motorcycle Operator Manual (R-217, Rev. 10-25): Connecticut's endorsement, permit and motorcycle laws, then the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's rider text on gear, controls, lane position, intersections, crash avoidance, passengers, group riding, alcohol, three-wheelers and the T-CLOCS check. Connecticut Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3–6
What do the knowledge and vision tests cost in Connecticut?
The DMV charges a fee for the motorcycle knowledge and vision tests together and another for the learner’s permit; the M endorsement itself has its own fee. Check the DMV permit page for current amounts. (Connecticut DMV: Get a Motorcycle Learner’s Permit)
Can I skip the course in Connecticut if I pass the tests?
No. Connecticut requires a DMV-approved novice motorcycle course with classroom and riding training before the M endorsement is added; the knowledge and vision tests alone only qualify you for the learner’s permit. Connecticut Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3
