I would have asked for his superviser myself and filed a complaint against him. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to road safety in the USA. As rigorous as it is, I think the UK system is better and safer in the long run. He pointed to a Ducati Monster parked nearby and said it was a shame that I could now legally drive one of those as I would surely kill myself on it. I came back to where he stood, he said I passed but that as I didn't ride a real motorcycle he didn't think I deserved a "real MC license". During that time he was talking to someone and didn't seem to be paying much attention. Then he said go to the parking lot next door and do a right figure 8 and a left figure 8. When I met him he asked me to show him hand signals, beep the horn, turn on the indicators, and use the hand brake.
#Ca motorcycle permit test 2015 registration#
The state trooper who conducted the test saw on my registration that I ride a Vespa and said "Oh, not a real motorcycle." He told me to go into the parking lot and meet him there. I scheduled (online) my road test and went in this morning to RMV. So that means you can drive a motorcycle legally for two years without ANY training. The permit is good for a period of two years. I didn't study for it, but passed (common sense). All that was involved was answering about 20 multiple choice questions. I got my GTS 300 a few years ago and at that time got my Mass Motorcycle Permit. Very bizarre, and you Brits will be shaking your heads. I took my Mass MC road test this morning and wanted to share my experience. Admittedly it's not nearly as comprehensive a test as you'd get in the EU, let alone the UK, but I reckon they've taken those to extremes. However you don't have to have a car licence to get a m/c licence - but I'm pretty sure if you can do the CA lollipop test you are capable of riding and controlling your machine. It doesn't test for road sense, or for any on-road stuff, as it's assumed you have a car driving licence. It does demonstrate how you can operate a PTW at slow speeds though, and that's probably the best quick test for ability to control it - as anyone can ride at speed in a straight line. It isn't that easy on a scooter - a small m/c would be better IMO, as you'd have direct clutch control rather than having to use the back brake continuously for slow speed manouvers - heating up the brake and centrifugal clutch in the process.
I have taken the CA m/c test - and recently (January this year). Perhaps for a DMV test, they should follow you on the road and observe. When was the last time you rode a two-wheeled vehicle twice in a circle?įortunately, the California test greatly favors vehicles such as scooters. though slow speed handling, and high speed handling are two different things. They appear hard-pressed to come up with a test what will compactly fit at the DMV. I haven't taken the California test, but from any indication the test is not one of motorcycle/scooter road ability, but instead a test of motorcycle parking ability.
