What the Motorcycle Ohio Motorcycle Operator Manual says about Ohio licensing and laws
Temporary Instruction Permit Identification Card (TIPIC)
To get a motorcycle TIPIC you first pass Ohio's knowledge test: 40 multiple-choice questions based on the manual (road rules, safe riding, vehicle regulations and signs), with at least 75% correct to pass. Section 2
Test Failure
After failing the knowledge test you wait at least 24 hours before retesting; in-person attempts are unlimited, but online testing is limited to two attempts in six months. Section 2
Age 18-20
Riders aged 18 to 20 who haven't completed Ohio's Graduated Driver Licensing requirements can earn only a motorcycle license, not an endorsement on a regular driver license; for an endorsement they finish GDL first, then pass the skills test or an approved course. Section 2
Under Age 18
Ohio's helmet law: US DOT-approved helmets are required for novice riders (the first year after getting the motorcycle license or endorsement), for riders and passengers under 18, and for any passenger, whatever their age, when the operator must wear one. Section 2
Mandatory Insurance / Proof of Financial Responsibility
Ohio requires insurance or other financial responsibility for any motor vehicle, with liability limits of at least $25,000 for injury to one person, $50,000 for injury to two or more, and $25,000 for property damage; you affirm coverage when applying for a license or registering a vehicle. Section 19
Operating a Motorcycle without a Permit or Endorsement
Riding without a TIPIC, license or endorsement is an unclassified misdemeanor the first time (up to a $1,000 fine and/or community service) and a first-degree misdemeanor the second time (up to a $1,000 fine and/or up to 6 months in jail). Section 19
