ALTERNATE MOTORCYCLE OPERATOR SKILL TEST
The test consists of seven exercises that evaluate your ability to perform basic
vehicle control, riding judgment, and hazard-response skills. Throughout the entire
test you will be scored on time and distance standards, as well as path and ‘foot
down’ violations. The test may be terminated due to point accumulation, falling or
dropping the motorcycle, disregard for instructions, committing an unsafe act, or
failure to understand or follow instructions. If at any time you feel an exercise is too
difficult you may stop the test. However, you must complete the entire test to pass
it.
