Missouri Motorcycle Permit Test

Conduct a thorough pre-ride inspection before every ride. It should usually take only a few minutes.

You should wear gear that helps protect you while you ride. It is best to wear a DOT-approved helmet, face or eye protection, and protective clothing.

To reduce the risk of being involved in a crash, you should always ensure that you are visible to others. Communicate your intentions through proper use of your signals, brake light, and lane position. Maintain a space cushion around your motorcycle and consistently scan the road ahead of, behind, and next to your vehicle.

To increase your chances of being seen, wear brightly-colored clothing, use your headlight at all times, and use your turn signals.

You can achieve maximum stopping power by using both the front and rear brakes. You should use both brakes every time you slow or stop.

Always use both brakes any time you slow or stop. It is safe to use the front brake, which is more powerful than the rear brake, as long as you use it properly.
