I want to get a motorcycle. Can you tell me the rules and laws for legally riding a motorcycle on the road in California?

If you've never had a motorcycle and want to start riding, you want to ride safely and legally. Knowing the rules and laws for riding your motorcycle in California is a great place to get started toward your goal.

 

I won't talk excessively about the benefits of riding or why so many people enjoy riding motorcycles, because I'm not writing a magazine article. The point of this writing is to get you the information a new rider needs to know before jumping on their motorcycle for the first time and rolling down a public road or highway.

 

First, you do need a valid driver's license or endorsement to operate/drive a motorcycle. You can view that California law by looking up Section 12500(b) of the California Vehicle Code. Look to Section 12804.9(b) (4), which states that a motorcycle dirver's license, known as Class M1, may be granted by endorsement on a class A, B, or C driver's license upon completion of an appropriate examination. The "appropriate examination" includes set of tests - a driver knowledge test, a motorcycle knowledge test, and a motorcycle skills test. If you have a Certificate of Completion of Motorcycle Training, you may be allowed to skip the motorcycle skills test.

 

As a new rider in California, or somebody who has never riden a motorcycle and wants to, you want to learn how to ride safely and also be a legal rider. What better way than signing up with the California Highway Patrol's California Motorcyclist Safety Program (CMSP). 

 

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is statutorily responsible for California's official motorcyclist safety and training program. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Sections 2930-2935, the CHP administers the CMSP through a primary contractor, currently Total Control Training Inc.  As of 2019, over 1,200,000 motorcycle riders have received training at one of the CMSP's many training sites since the program began in July 1987.

 

This is really an awesome way to obtain your skills in a safe manner, while learning the necessary information to pass your other tests.

 

Two Ways To Be Safe & Learn The Latest Skills

 

The Motorcyclist Training Course (MTC) is a 15 hour course which includes 5 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of actual riding. The MTC is mandatory for those under the age of 21, but is also recommended to those 21 and older who are seeking to obtain a motorcycle endorsement on their California driver license.  

 

The CMSP also offers the Premier Program which is an extended Motorcycle Training Course (MTC) consisting of 7.5-hours of classroom and 13.5-hours of riding. The CHP and its partners encourage all riders to be life-long learners and seek additional training beyond the MTC and Premier programs.

 

Benefits of Taking The Course:

Upon completion you’ll get a skills waiver that allows you to skip the riding skills test at the DMV

Passing the class could result in insurance breaks

It will give you and your family peace of mind

 

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) strongly encourages all motorcycle riders to sign up for a California Motorcyclist Safety Course, which is administered by the CHP as California's official motorcycle safety and training program.
