Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in the Arizona motorcycle handbook?

The Arizona motorcycle handbook covers motorcycle controls and equipment, riding techniques, defensive riding strategies, intersections and turning, carrying passengers and cargo, special riding conditions (rain, night, highways), and Arizona-specific traffic laws for motorcyclists.

Do I need a separate license to ride a motorcycle in Arizona?

Yes. Arizona requires a motorcycle endorsement (M) or separate motorcycle license to legally ride on public roads. You must pass both a written knowledge test and a skills test (or complete an approved safety course).

How many questions are on the Arizona motorcycle written test?

The Arizona (AZ) motorcycle knowledge test has 30 questions, and you need 24 correct (80%) to pass. Practice free at DMVSOS to be ready for every one.

Can I take a motorcycle safety course instead of the written test in Arizona?

Many states allow you to waive the written and/or skills test by completing an approved MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) Basic RiderCourse. Check with the Arizona MVD for current requirements.
