Why You Need a Motorcycle Permit

Obtaining a motorcycle permit is crucial to becoming a safe and responsible rider. In Connecticut, you must legally have a motorcycle permit before operating any two-wheeled vehicle.

A motorcycle permit allows you to practice riding on public roads while under the supervision of a licensed motorcycle rider. It also serves as an interim license until you can take the official Connecticut motorcycle license exam.

You risk facing fines and penalties for riding without proper authorization without a valid permit. More importantly, having a permit ensures you possess the necessary knowledge and skills to ride safely.
