Frequently Asked Questions

What is covered in the Nevada motorcycle handbook?

The Nevada 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 Nevada-specific traffic laws for motorcyclists.

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

Yes. Nevada 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 Nevada motorcycle written test?

The Nevada (NV) motorcycle knowledge test has 25 questions, and you need 20 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 Nevada?

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 Nevada DMV for current requirements.
