How the Massachusetts motorcycle test works

  • Permit first, then Class MMassachusetts riders start with a Class M learner’s permit at 16 (a 25-question test, 18 to pass), then pass a road test or an MREP course; riders under 18 must take the MREP basic rider course and hold a Junior Operator’s License. (Mass.gov: Apply for a motorcycle (Class M) learner's permit)
  • Permit limitsPermit holders ride only from sunrise to sunset and carry no passengers. Fail the road test twice and you must complete an approved rider course before testing again. Massachusetts Motorcycle Manual p. 7
  • Helmets for everyoneMassachusetts law requires every rider and passenger to wear a DOT helmet (FMVSS 218), and eye protection unless the motorcycle has a windshield or screen. Massachusetts Motorcycle Manual p. 9
  • Massachusetts lane rulesEvery vehicle may use the full lane: no riding alongside another vehicle in a marked lane or between lanes, and no more than two motorcycles abreast. Massachusetts Motorcycle Manual p. 27
