  • Wish I saw a video like this before going to take the test so made one hoping it'll help others.
    I rode to the dmv alone with only a permit. The tester made me walk the bike to the testing area so park close to it before going in.
    2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300

    I passed my test! But honestly, despite practicing, I almost failed because of the emergency stop. I took the test in Lynchburg (everyone was very nice there), but the length of the course was VERY short, shorter than I'd been practicing and it was difficult to get up to speed, stabilize and stop short in that length of time on my bikc (ten year old suzuki 250). All the other skills were easy.

    Hello, Do they check if I showed up by myself or if I am with a license holder? What if I go alone and failed? Do they let me ride back home?! lol.

    • @christianbh
      @christianbh 4 года назад +4

      mjshaheed if you’re taking this test you should have a permit. And I’ve never seen anyone actually care if you’re riding with another licensed rider or not. So I highly doubt they’d say anything. And if they do, you’re on a motorcycle, they wouldn’t be able to stop you from leaving if they tried.

      There's a class that will teach you everything and give you a license.
      OR get a learners permit for 30days then take this dmv test.
      Ninja 300 / 400 is a great first bike

    If I'm under 19 but have a driver's license in Virginia, how do I get my motorcycle license?
    I'm 17 years old, live in Virginia, and have had my drivers license for over a year. I'm going to be purchasing a motorcycle and want to get on the road with it as soon as possible! The dmv website was a little confusing and I even called them and didn't get much of an answer either. If I need to get a permit after having a drivers license, and I get my motorcycle permit, can I really not go on the roads without someone assisting me by driving with me on another bike?
    If that's the case and I can't be on the road by myself for 9 months, what can I do to get around that? Is there anything? I was thinking about maybe going to a neighboring state where it would be easier to get it? Less requirements? Can I even do that if I'm not a resident of the state? Please help!!!

      +Dallin Nielsen u only need to hold the class m permit for 30days before you can take the road test. i always still rode alone and if i ever did get pulled over i was told to tell the cop your about to meet up with your riding group/friend and theyll let you go 90% of the time.

    • @Harpazo_to_Yeshua
      @Harpazo_to_Yeshua 8 лет назад

      +Miguel .Giron Reading the manual, it didn't specify if memory is correct. So, if I were to assume, I think anyone at any age must be supervised by someone who is 21+ and has a motorcycle license. I don't know how this is going to be possible for me since I don't know anyone with such a thing. Kind of silly. As I said to another, I might have to just take a training course to get my license, which I don't mind I guess, as I do like training, but still would like to practice alone sometimes...
