How the Maryland motorcycle test works

  • Class M on your licenseMaryland adds a Class M to your driver’s license, or issues a stand-alone motorcycle license if you have none. You must be at least 16, pass the motorcycle knowledge test first, then the skills test or an approved course. (Maryland MVA: Motorcycle License)
  • A course can replace the testsRiders under 18 must complete the Motorcycle Safety Program’s Basic Rider Course. With a valid completion certificate, a Maryland license holder adds the Class M without the knowledge or skills test; the certificate is good for six months. (Maryland MVA: Motorcycle License)
  • Learner’s permit rulesPermit riders practice only under the immediate supervision of a motorcyclist 21 or older licensed at least three years, the only passenger a learner may carry. Maryland Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 5
  • Maryland gear and lanesEvery operator and passenger wears an FMVSS 218 helmet and approved eye protection (or rides behind a proper windscreen), the motorcycle carries the full required equipment, and lane sharing is prohibited. Maryland Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 8

Based on the Maryland Motorcycle Operator Manual (DL-001 (03/22)). Official licensing agency.

25 questions, with 88% (22 correct) to pass and 20 minutes to finish. If you fail, you can retest the next business day if an appointment is open; after two or more failures you wait at least seven calendar days. (Maryland MVA: Knowledge Tests)

What does this Maryland motorcycle practice test cover?

The Maryland Motorcycle Operator Manual (DL-001, 03/22): licensing and the skill test, required equipment and gear, controls, lane position, SEE, intersections, crash avoidance, dangerous surfaces, passengers and loads, group riding, and alcohol and fatigue. (Maryland MVA: Motorcycle Training & Education)

How much does a Maryland motorcycle permit and license cost?

Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) lists the current fees for the motorcycle permit, tests and license on its official fee page. (Maryland MVA: License & ID Fees)

What happens after I pass or fail Maryland's FAST TRACK riding test?

Pass both tests and you get a FAST TRACK Completion Certificate, good only that day at that branch; an MVA agent then adds Class M to your license. If you fail the riding test, you leave with a Class M learner's permit instead. Fees are paid at licensing. (Maryland MVA: Motorcycle Training & Education)
