Directions: To earn your motorcycle license, you must pass a knowledge test and a skills test. Drivers age 16-17 must also pass a motorcycle driving course approved by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Persons age 18 and older who successfully complete an IDOT Motorcycle Rider Education Course are not required to pass a written or driving examination at a Driver Services facility. Questions on the written test come from the Illinois Motorcycle Operator Manual. On the knowledge test, there are 15 questions, including both True/false and multiple choice questions. A score of at least 12 is required to pass the knowledge test. The test may only be taken in English. The rider skills test measures vehicle handling skills in an off-street paved area. Prior to the rider skills test is an equipment check.
