All about permit practice tests and MOTO driver's licence in Arizona

1. Meet the Age Requirements:

• In Arizona, you must be at least 16 years old to apply for a motorcycle license (Class M).
• If you are under 18, you must hold an Arizona instruction permit for at least six months before applying for your full license.

2. Get a Motorcycle Instruction Permit:

• If you’re between 15½ and 18 years old, you can apply for a motorcycle instruction permit.
• To obtain the permit, you'll need to pass a written knowledge test that covers motorcycle-specific traffic laws and safety guidelines.
• You’ll also be required to take a vision test to ensure you meet the eyesight requirements.

3. Practice Riding:

Once you have your instruction permit, you can practice riding. However, there are restrictions:

• You must always wear a helmet (mandatory for those under 18).
• You cannot ride on freeways or ride at night.
• You are not allowed to carry passengers while using the permit.

4. Complete a Motorcycle Safety Course (Optional but Highly Recommended):

• Arizona offers a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course, which can waive the skills test requirement at the DMV.
• The course includes both classroom learning and on-the-bike training, covering important riding skills and safety techniques.
• For riders under 18, the completion of this course is mandatory.

5. Pass the Motorcycle Skills Test (If You Didn’t Take the MSF Course):

• If you choose not to take the safety course, you’ll need to pass a motorcycle road skills test at the MVD.
• During this test, you’ll be evaluated on your ability to control the motorcycle, follow road signs, and safely maneuver in traffic.

6. Submit Required Documents and Fees:

Once you’ve passed the required tests (or completed the safety course), head to the MVD to submit:

• Your instruction permit.
• Proof of identity and residency.
• The completion certificate if you took the safety course.

You’ll also need to pay the necessary fees, which may vary based on your age.

7. Helmet Law and Safety Gear:

• In Arizona, helmets are required only for riders under 18, but it’s highly recommended for all motorcyclists to wear a DOT-approved helmet for safety.
• Eye protection is mandatory for all riders unless the motorcycle has a windshield.

8. Other Considerations:

• Arizona does not have a separate motorcycle endorsement; instead, a Class M license is issued specifically for motorcycles, either as a standalone license or added to an existing driver’s license.
• The state also offers a three-wheel motorcycle endorsement if you're riding trikes or other three-wheeled motorcycles.

By following these steps, you’ll be ready to ride safely with your motorcycle license in Arizona!
