our training motorcycles for use during the course or students may choose to
ride their own motorcycles/scooters as long as it meets the requirements. A
motorcycle riding jacket is required to take this course.

Successful completion of both the riding and written portions of the course will
earn the rider a DMV DL389 skills test waiver. Per California regulations, you

POSSIBLE
INSURANCE BREAKS

be involved in an accident, most insurance companies offer discounts to these
riders. In some cases, the discounts can be significant. Check with your
insurance company for more information.

Motorcycles are 38 times more dangerous than driving a car in terms of
fatalities per miles traveled; which is why motorcyclists in particular need to
minimize their risks. The more skilled of a rider you are, the less of a chance
you have of being involved in an accident.

on the road.

INFORMED

Be aware of proper riding techniques and rules of the road – like avoiding blind
spots of other vehicles and lane splitting guidelines.

DISCIPLINED

Make informed decisions and choices before and during every ride. Never ride
under the influence and consider postponing your trip if weather is bad or roads
are icy.

EQUIPPED

Many studies indicate that the head, legs, and arms of a rider are most likely
to be injured in an accident, which is why wearing the proper gear makes a
difference. Always wear a DOT-compliant helmet, pants, jacket, boots, gloves and
eye protection.
