New Jersey Motorcycle Licensing, Gear and Checks Practice Test

What the New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual says about licensing, gear and checks

• Apply Without a Basic Rider Course

  For the MVC motorcycle road test you bring your own registered and insured motorcycle, a helmet and eye protection, and you must be at least 18 to take it. p. 166

• Step 3: Get Motorcycle Endorsement

  To get the endorsement after the course, bring the completion documents to a driver testing center, pass the 6-Point ID Verification, apply for a motorcycle permit, pass a vision test and pay the fee; you must be at least 17, with parent or guardian consent under 18. p. 166

• How to Get a Motorcycle License Without a Driver License

  Applicants with no driver license start with a motorcycle permit and must practice at least six months if under 21, or three months if over 21, without any suspensions or postponements. p. 167

• Step 6: Get Probationary Motorcycle License (Class E)

  After passing the road test, applicants without a driver license get a probationary Class E motorcycle license, ride at least one year under probationary restrictions, and then, if at least 18, get an unrestricted motorcycle license. p. 168

• Practice Riding and Road Test

  The cone weave tests low-speed control through cones set 12 feet apart with a two-foot offset, followed by a U-turn, without touching lines or cones or putting a foot down. p. 171

• Helmet Use

  An approved helmet still gives enough side vision: a study of over 900 crashes, where 40 percent of riders wore helmets, found no case of a helmet impairing vision or hiding danger. p. 173
