Motorcycle Endorsement - Vermont Castings MOTORCYCLE Manual

OBTAINING A MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT
HOW TO OBTAIN A MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT ON A
VERMONT DRIVER LICENSE:
Every Vermont resident who operates a motorcycle on the highway in
Vermont must hold a valid Vermont Operator, Commercial Driver
License or Junior Operator License with the proper motorcycle
endorsement. The Commissioner may, upon request, issue a restricted
endorsement for the operation of a 3-wheel motorcycle
NOTE: DMV motorcycle endorsement knowledge and skills tests
will be waived to anyone who has successfully completed the VREP
Basic Motorcycle Course, Intermediate Course or Experienced
Rider License Waiver Course
Any Vermont licensed individual with a Motorcycle Learner Permit is
required to successfully complete a skills test before the endorsement
will be issued. There is a fee of $2.00 per year for the motorcycle
endorsement. An explanation of the skills test, complete with diagrams,
is contained in Part I of this manual.
You will not be permitted to take the skills test unless the motorcycle
you furnish for this purpose is properly equipped, registered, inspected
(if required), insured, and in good mechanical condition. If an applicant
fails the skills test a one-week practice period is required before another
skills test may be taken.
Any motorcycle used for the skills test portion of the exam must be
legally transported to the exam site. For example, you can have another
licensed motorcycle operator ride the bike to the exam location for you.
In this instance that operator would be required to show a valid license
that is endorsed for motorcycle operation to the examiner. If you have a
Motorcycle Learner Permit you may ride the bike to the exam location.
You may also transport the bike in another registered and insured vehicle
such as a trailer, truck or van.
Any applicant using a three-wheeled motorcycle when taking the
motorcycle skills test will receive a motorcycle endorsement restricted to
three-wheeled operation only upon successful completion of the test.
