ON-CYCLE SKILL TEST
Basic vehicle control and crash-avoidance skills are included in on-cycle tests to determine your ability to handle normal and hazardous traffic
situations.
You may be tested for your ability to:
•
Know your motorcycle
and your riding limits.
•
Accelerate, brake and turn safely.
•
See, be seen
and communicate with others.
•
Adjust speed
and position to the traffic situation.
•
Stop, turn and swerve quickly.
•
Make critical decisions
and carry them out.
Examiners may score on factors related to safety such as:
•
Selecting
safe speeds to perform maneuvers.
•
Choosing
the correct path and staying within boundaries.
•
Completing
normal and quick stops.
•
Completing
normal and quick turns or swerves.
To receive a motorcycle license with full privileges, most states require that maneuvers be performed as designed
On-cycle skill tests are not designed for sidecars or three-wheel vehicles. Those vehicles maneuver differently than a two-wheeled motorcycle.
Depending on the state, a driver examiner may follow you on a car test-route. Restrictions (sidecar, three-wheeled vehicle) may be added until
completion of a two-wheel cycle test.
