How to get a Nebraska Motorcycle License

Ready to take your motorcycle on the open road? This article will take you through the steps to get your NEBRASKA motorcycle license with an extra emphasis on safe driving.

The Rules

Under Nebraska DMV guidelines, anyone who drives a motorcycle must have a Class M motorcycle license or motorcycle instruction permit. A Class M License authorizes a license holder to operate a motorcycle or three-wheeled motor vehicle.

Applicants must be 17 years of age, pass the motorcycle knowledge test, a sign test and a vision screening. The final step is to pass the motorcycle skills test where you will demonstrate your competency in motorcycle operation.

Prepare for the Written Exam

The Nebraska DMV requires that all applicants must pass a written motorcycle knowledge test on traffic signs, motor vehicle laws and safe driving techniques.

If you fail the exam, some states require you to wait until at least until the next day to take the test again and charge a re-examination fee.

All motorcyclists are encouraged to study for this written test so you don't take a chance on standing in line at the DMV Office only to go home empty-handed. Online practice tests are available that provide real sample questions from the Nebraska DMV Motorcycle Exam. Take the Nebraska motorcycle sample test now and test your driving knowledge.
