Oklahoma laws regarding obtaining a motorcycle license will be changing next week for those under the age of 17
As of August 26, 2016, riders age 17 or younger who are seeking a license with an M endorsement (motorcycle license) will be required to complete a certified state approved motorcycle basic rider course training course first. According to Oklahoma Highway Safety Office Communications Manager Katie Mueller “Currently the only course approved is a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course.”
Until now all riders seeking a motorcycle license in Oklahoma had the option of either completing an MSF training course or appearing before a Department of Public Safety driver license examiner to take the motorcycle written and drive test exams.
Under the new law, the MSF test must be completed prior to the application for a motorcycle licenseand the motorcycle written and drive tests will be waived; however, applicants for an original license will still be required to take the basic law test and vision screening.
For those riders over 18 seeking a motorcycle license the law remains the same as it is now and they will still have the choice of taking written and drive test exams or completing an MSF training course to receive the M endorsement.
More information on the MSF training courses may be obtained at https://www.ok.gov/okiemoto/Motorcycle_Education/index.html.
