Utah Motorcycle Permit Test

Motorcycles are allowed to use high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes in Utah.

To keep proper balance, your feet should be placed firmly on the footpegs and not dragged. Do not point your toes downward, as this may make them catch on the road. Keep your feet near the controls so that you can reach them quickly if you need to.

You should select a helmet that meets U.S. Department of Transportation and state standards; fits snugly all the way around; and has no obvious defects like cracks, loose padding, or frayed straps.

While a staggered formation is usually best, a group should switch to single file when taking curves, turning, or entering or exiting a highway.

Smaller vehicles, like motorcycles, can visually seem to be farther away and moving more slowly than they actually are. This can make it difficult for others on the road to accurately judge your location and speed.

A riding jacket and long pants should still be worn when riding in hot weather. In addition to their other safety benefits, in hot weather they can protect you from heat exhaustion and dehydration.
