More Changes To Florida Motorcycle Laws

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Mandatory Motorcycle Safety CourseDid you know in less than a year, there will be two important changes to the Florida Statutes that will involve motorcycle riders?  These new changes will take effect July 01, 2008:

- All applicants for a motorcycle endorsement must show proof of completion of the motorcycle safety course

- A motorcycle, motor driven cycle or moped registration may not be issued unless the registrant has a motorcycle endorsement on their driver license

I don’t disagree that it is a good idea for applicants to take the motorcycle safety course prior to applying for a motorcycle license.   What I do disagree with is that it will become mandatory.

After all, it is not required of all applicants wishing to drive a four wheeled vehicle to complete a driving safety course.

Is this discrimination? Is the government once again invading on our right to choose?  What do you think? Share your opinion in the CurvesAhead.net poll…
