Do I have to take a NJ motorcycle safety course or drivers ed? New Jersey
The New Jersey Motorcycle Safety Education Program
The NJ MVC recommends but does not mandate enrollment in a motorcycle safety course. This course will teach you safe and legal motorcycle riding skills.As extra incentive to participate in a three-day safety course, the MVC will waive your road test requirement if you participate in an approved New Jersey Motorcycle Safety Education Program.
Becoming a Motorcycle Rider in New Jersey
To become a motorcycle rider in New Jersey you must meet many requirements, starting with being at least 17 years old to apply for a motorcycle permit. You must own a permit before you can apply for a motorcycle license.To obtain a permit, visit any NJ MVC driver license office and follow these steps:
- Complete a motorcycle license application.
- Satisfy the state's 6 Point ID Verification system.
- Pass a vision test.
- Pass a knowledge test.
- Pay a $5 permit fee.
To pass the knowledge test, study the NJ motorcycle manual and take at least one online practice test. You can collect a manual, free of charge, from any MVC location.
After obtaining a permit, you must wait at least 20 days before you can take the road test portion of the motorcycle test, the final step towards earning a motorcycle drivers license.
