West Virginia motorcycle rules to know

  • West Virginia's motorcycle knowledge exam has 25 questions. Because you need a grade of 80% or better, you can miss only a handful, so study the whole manual rather than just the riding tips you already know. West Virginia Driver's Licensing Handbook, page 24
  • You must score 80% or better on West Virginia's motorcycle knowledge exam. On a 25-question exam that means about 20 correct answers, so a few careless misses can mean a retake and another fee. West Virginia Driver's Licensing Handbook, page 24
  • West Virginia's motorcycle instruction permit is valid for 6 months from the day it is issued. Plan your practice and your skills test or rider course within that window so the permit does not lapse first. West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles website
  • West Virginia charges $7.50 every time you take the motorcycle knowledge test. Failing means paying again, which is one more reason to study until you can pass on the first try. West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles website
  • The motorcycle instruction permit costs $5.00, and the knowledge test is a separate $7.50 per attempt. Knowing both fees helps you budget for your visit to the DMV. West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles website
  • West Virginia's restriction table lists code G as "Trike with 'F' Endorsement," a restriction tied to riding a three-wheel motorcycle (trike). Restriction codes appear on the front of the license, with the explanation on the back, and operating a vehicle in violation of a restriction is a serious offense that can lead to suspension or revocation. West Virginia Driver's Licensing Handbook, page 22
