I'm sure different rules apply nationwide...not to mention globally...
I couldn't believe how easy it was to get a learner's permit in VA! Good news for beginners, but now that I'm out and riding, I certainly see a HUGE need for more stringent rules and regulations...like mandatory MSF classes (for every driver, even cagers!)
In VA, I had to go take a 25 question test (multiple choice, one read through the DMV manual was suffice to pass)...BOOM! I've got my learner's permit!
(hey, what is this thing and how does it work?!)
I kept thinking there's be something else to it, but that was it - ready to ride? Learn? Come on...it really needed to be harder...
To get the M endorsement...if you take a MSF class and pass, you just go smile for the DMV camera and get your license...or, you take the DMV road course test after all of your "learning" on your permit...
What do other states do?
