The MSF course waives the DMV driving test...

So, at 18... I take the MSF, then pass the written and the license is mine?


and for an underage, take the MSF, pass the written, then you have your permit? Then, does the permit just roll over to your license after 6 months?...

 

[Daedalus]

No - if you pass both the written and the MSF, you have your license. The MSF course is the substitute for the driving part of the license test. I got the permit after passing the written, then took the MSF course, and all I had to do was hand the DMV the completion certificate and they upgraded my license to full M1 in about 5 seconds.

So, a 17 year old can get their straight license after taking the msf, and passing the written?

no 6 month permit?

 

[ZxHunteR]

No 6 month permit. No waiting. No hidden interest fees. You may pass go. collect 200 dollars. REALLY!


The permit is if you take the DMV test ONLY.

What, with the facts?

Each state is different. CA has slightly different rules for 16-18, 18-21, and over 21.

 

[ZxHunteR]

I seriously doubt even california would be that strict.

 

[RayOSV]

I seriously doubt even california would be that strict.

All of the above was for under 18. Here's for over 18:

To apply for your motorcycle Class M1 or M2 license, you must do one of the following:

If you are under 21, you must complete a motorcycle rider training course given by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and provide a certificate of Completion of Motorcycle Training (DL 389) to DMV to be issued your license. You will not be required to take the motorcycle driving test at DMV if you currently have a California Drivers License.

If you are over 21, you may either choose to complete the course by CHP and provide the certificate OR schedule an appointment at DMV to take the driving test. You have three chances to pass the test.

:rolleyes

We also now have provisional cage licenses with lots of restrictions for the first year. Traffic injuries and deaths took a dive, fortunately.

Sorry for the slight hijack.

The CHP drivers training = the MSF, right?

Yes, it's sanctioned by the CHP. Whatever course you take must be CHP approved.
