Do I Need to Bring My Own Motorcycle for the Test?
2 Answers
Driving schools provide motorcycles for the test, but you can also use your own motorcycle for the exam. Basic motorcycle test items include: Stake test, hill start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turn, speed-limited passage through narrow gates, continuous obstacle crossing, hundred-meter gear shifting, and bumpy road driving. Classification of motorcycles: According to regulations, there are three types of motorcycle licenses, each with its corresponding code. Light motorcycles are classified as F, ordinary two-wheel motorcycles as E, and ordinary three-wheel motorcycles as D. Motorcycle license levels: Among motorcycle licenses, the D license is the highest level, allowing not only the driving of three-wheel motorcycles but also all vehicle types permitted by E and F licenses. The E license comes next, permitting the driving of all vehicle types allowed by the F license.
I just got my motorcycle license. I remember on the exam day, I didn't bring anything and went straight to the test site. Driving schools usually provide motorcycles for the test, unless you didn't enroll in their training and took the test independently. Many test centers also have standardized bikes, so you don't need to prepare your own. A reminder: it's best to check with your driving school or local DMV before the test, as some rules vary by location. Also, you should be familiar with motorcycle operations for the test, otherwise unfamiliar bikes might cause mistakes. Actions like acceleration and braking are crucial during the exam, and using your own bike might feel more comfortable. But generally, you don't need to bring your own bike—testing institutions provide motorcycles and helmets.
