Nevada Motorcycle Operator Manual
This manual gives you information on the special knowledge and skills you need to safely operate your motorcycle on our highways. Nevada gives both knowledge and skills tests before issuing a motorcycle driver license. Those tests are based upon this manual.
You need a Nevada Class M driver license if you live or work in Nevada and you want to operate a motorcycle on our streets and highways. To get your motorcycle license or instruction permit you need to complete a Driver’s License Application at a DMV Full-Service Office. You also need to: Provide proof of your name, age,
• Social Security number and resi- dence address; Be at least 16 years old (15½ for an instruction permit);
• Pass a vision test and a general knowledge test about Nevada’s traffic laws, highway signs and markings, and safe driving practices;
• Pass a specific knowledge test on safe driving practices for motorcycle operators;
• Pass the Motorcycle Operators;
• Skill Test (MOST) for a full license. If you are under 18, you must have a parent or guardian sign the financial responsibility statement on the application in person at the DMV.
INTRODUCTION
The on-cycle skills test includes a pre-trip inspection. You need to know and understand your motorcycle’s controls and equipment such as chock, gear shift, brakes, spark, starter, throttle, ignition, and clutch. The examiner will perform a safety inspection on your motorcycle and check the registration and insurance. You do not have to use your own motorcycle. Your on-cycle test will include normal starts and stops, quick turns, and other maneuvers. When on your motorcycle, you are required to wear a helmet. If your motorcycle does not have a windshield or screen, you need to wear a protective face shield or goggles.
NOTE: If you have a valid motorcycle license or endorsement from a state that uses a MOST course and equipment, the road test may be waived. If you already have another class of driver’s license, your motorcycle license will be shown as an endorsement.
