Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Legislation Pa riders.Drivers test requirements question

Are there any pa riders here who have recently taken the pa cycle riders test?I want to know what the requirements are.
I am currently practicing the fig 8,right and left cirles,emergency stopping and slalom.i would greatly appreciate any and all info.

I took the MSF New rider's course to get my license in PA about 2 years ago. PA is one of only 2 states to offer it for free, and when you "graduate" you have your license. It was spread out over four days so it may not be convenient, but it was good course. I highly recommend it. As a side note, I took the "Experienced" rider's course this spring. Also free. There were people in the class who still had their permit and upon completion of this course also received their license. That course is only one day, so if you're comfortable and don't want the four day course I'd say do that. And don't worry if you're not "experienced" enough, there were some definite newbies in the class, and none of the manuevers were difficult. I should add that with the beginner's course you use their bikes, little Suzuki 250's (figure 8's and tight turns easy), and the experienced rider course is on your bike. Here's a link to get started : PA MSP

Wendy took the course too and you get your lic after passing as Pete said. Be ready for any and all weather conditions when you sign up though. They don't cancel for weather.

I appreciate the info.Im well read on the safety course but have no desire to spend 15 hrs doing it.My work hrs are a complete mf and the course is closed for the year till I think may of next year.If I blow the test Ill try the course.

Is the course closed to practice on?

That course also gives you a break on ins. and allows you to go without a helmet if you choose once passed.
