Idaho motorcycle rules to know

• Idaho law lets a motorcycle instruction permit holder ride only during daylight, never on an interstate highway, and never with a passenger. The permit is valid for up to 1 year, and you must pass the motorcycle knowledge test before you can get it.

• Idaho's motorcycle instruction permit is valid for 1 year and costs $15. Use that year to practice and take the skills test, because taking the skills test while the permit is valid waives the endorsement fee.

• The motorcycle instruction permit is available to anyone with a valid Idaho driver's license, and everyone must pass the written motorcycle knowledge test before applying. The permit then lets you practice before you take the skills test.

• Anyone under 21 must pass the knowledge test and successfully complete an approved motorcycle rider training course before getting the M endorsement. Training is recommended for older riders too, because it teaches control and hazard-avoidance skills in a safe setting.

• Failing the motorcycle knowledge test means waiting 3 days and paying the $5.00 fee again. The short wait gives you time to restudy the handbook before your next try.

• Passing an approved rider training course can waive the motorcycle skills test, but not the knowledge test. The waiver has a time limit: the handbook says to get the endorsement within 25 months of the course, while ITD's endorsement page says the course must be dated within 2 years of your application, so apply soon after finishing.
