Oklahoma Motorcycle Permit Practice Test

Service Oklahoma doesn’t publish the number. Our practice exam uses 25 questions with 20 to pass (80%), drawn from the MSF Motorcycle Operator Manual that Service Oklahoma links as the study guide.

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Motorcycle Operator Manual (18th edition): gear, controls and checks, lane position, intersections, crash avoidance, hazardous surfaces, passengers and cargo, group riding, alcohol and fatigue, three-wheelers and the T-CLOCS checklist. Motorcycle Operator Manual (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) p. 1–55

You can get a motorcycle permit at 14 if you pass the Class D written test and the MSF Basic course. Everyone 14 to 18 must complete an MSF course; at 18 or older you can take the course or pass the motorcycle written and skills tests.

Yes, an approved MSF course (Basic RiderCourse, Basic RiderCourse 2 – License Waiver or 3-Wheel Basic RiderCourse) lets you add the M endorsement with your completion card, even by uploading it when renewing or replacing your license online.

30 days. After that you can trade the restricted permit for a full motorcycle endorsement.

Yes, for motor-driven cycles over 35 cc (or electric under 1,000 watts) as well as motorcycles of 150 cc or more (or electric 1,000 watts or more).

Not on the motorcycle test alone: with no license yet, you pass the Class D written test as well as the motorcycle one before the endorsement is added.

Proof of identity, lawful presence and residency, your Social Security number, and proof of liability insurance for the motorcycle. If it has no proper windshield, wear a face shield or goggles meeting the ANSI Z87.1 standard for the test.

Right away on paper: you leave with a temporary license, and the new card showing the M endorsement follows by mail.

Riders under 16 get a motorcycle-only license for a motor scooter or motorcycle of 300 cc or less. Riding is allowed from 4:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. only, and no passenger may come along. These limits end at 16, once the motorcycle-only restriction is taken off.

No. Riders under 16 may not use a highway with a posted minimum speed, such as an interstate or turnpike. On a motorcycle between 150 cc and 300 cc they can ride at the posted limit on other roads; under 150 cc they also may not go faster than 35 mph.

A parent, a legal guardian, or anyone 21 or older whose valid Oklahoma license carries the motorcycle endorsement. That person has to keep you in sight while you ride. The permit is marked with restriction A, the motorcycle learner code.

Yes. A custodial parent or legal guardian signs the application, agrees that you will keep to the license's conditions, and takes on financial and legal responsibility if you break the law, damage property or hurt someone while riding.

Only for riders and passengers under 18, who must wear DOT-approved head protection. Eye protection is a separate rule for every operator, whatever their age: either a windshield or DOT-approved safety eyewear.

Yes. Liability insurance is required to ride a motorcycle in Oklahoma at any time, not only on the day of your drive test, when you show proof of it.

No. Service Oklahoma accepts only Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses as qualifying, and those can't be done online because they include in-person training on riding a motorcycle properly.

An 8-hour safety course taught by Highway Patrol motorcycle troopers, ridden on your own motorcycle, for riders who already have the M endorsement and insurance. The bike must meet Oklahoma equipment rules and be registered. Finishing earns a certificate that can bring an insurance discount for up to three years.

No. Oklahoma law bars riders of motorcycles, scooters and other small motor cycles from passing vehicles by riding between lanes of traffic heading the same way. Riders also may not hold on to a moving vehicle to be pulled along.

Wheels at least 12 inches across and a factory design for two: either a double seat with double footrests, or a sidecar with its own seat for each person riding in it. The rider must be 16 or older.

Yes, at all times on any 1978 or newer motorcycle, day or night, along with any other lights built to stay on. Oklahoma law also allows a headlight modulator that meets the federal standard.

Two mirrors, one on each side, at least 3 inches across; a windshield, or goggles, protective eyewear or a face shield instead; a working speedometer; a fender over each wheel; a horn; and a muffler. Motorcycles from model year 2005 on also need flashing turn signals front and rear.

A motor-driven cycle (over 35 cc but under 150 cc) may never go faster than 35 mph, whatever the posted limit and whatever the rider's age. A motorized scooter is capped at 25 mph and may not use roads posted above 25 mph.

No. An autocycle, a three-wheeler with seat belts for each occupant and a car's required equipment, is registered as a motor vehicle, and Oklahoma law says its driver needs no M endorsement on the Class D license.

Only where local rules allow it. A moped (up to 2 horsepower and 35 mph, with a gas engine of at most 50 cc and no clutch or shifting, or an electric motor of at most 750 watts) may use city streets with a moped ordinance, or county roads the county commissioners approve.
