Motorcycle Safety Education Program

This Basic Rider Course is certified by the NC Motorcycle Safety Education Program and conducted at a pace that results in successful completion for most novice riders. The course provides classroom and actual motorcycle operator training in a controlled, off-street environment. No experience is necessary; a good sense of balance is required (you must be able to ride a bicycle). If you experience significant difficulty or become a safety risk to yourself or others, you will not be permitted to continue to ride. To receive the NC Motorcycle Safety Education Program endorsement card you must attend one hundred percent of all scheduled course hours. You will learn: • To have more fun by riding your motorcycle safely. • The basics: what to wear, how to start and stop your motorcycle and motorcycle controls. • Street strategies to avoid trouble and stay safe. • How to maneuver your motorcycle in tough situations: swerving, avoiding collisions, special situations, lane changes, passing and avoiding hazards. Reasons why you should take this course: • Licensing Test Waiver – NCDMV waives the skill portion of your motorcycle-endorsement test, if you've successfully completed the Rider

Course. • Insurance Discounts - Many insurance companies offer discounts on motorcycle premiums to students who have successfully completed a

Rider Course. Be sure to ask your insurance agent.
