How To Get A Delaware Motorcycle License
Delaware law dictates that anyone who drives a motor-driven vehicle that is two or three-wheeled need a motorcycle endorsement. If you are over the age of 18 you must pass both a written examination and road skills test first. Those under 18 can also get their license but they will have to jump through a few more hoops such as completing a Driver Education class, have written permission from a parent or guardian, and complete 12 months of supervised driving experience with a motorcycle permit. A good first step to practicing on a motorcycle is first obtaining your permit. Passing the written portion of the exam is the only part required. Permits are valid for six months and can be extended once for another six. Multiple restrictions are put on these permits such as no passengers, no night driving, and an approved helmet must be worn.
Delaware motorcycle safety classes can help you pass both portions of the motorcycle exam. These range from novice to more experienced, with special classes dedicated to 3-wheel drivers. In these courses, you will go over all the bits of how a motorcycle works, what you need to do as a driver, and some important considerations when driving. You'll learn both in the classroom and out of it. Those who complete this course will get a certificate that can be turned in proving that you passed the examination needed for the motorcycle endorsement. Look over the list of classes to see which one fits you best.
If you just moved to Delaware and already have your motorcycle endorsement from another state you can waive the knowledge and skills portion of Delaware's motorcycle license testing. Contact your local DMV for more information.
