DRIVER PERFORMANCE TEST
The skills test may be waived if you have a motorcycle skills test Certification for Waiver issued by the Hawaii Motorcycle Safety Education Program or a valid motorcycle license or endorsement from another state.
You must provide a motorcycle in safe operating condition with a current safety inspection certificate and liability insurance identification card. All vehicle safety defects must be corrected prior to taking the test.
An off-street skill test is required prior to the issuance of a motorcycle or motor scooter license. Practicing the illustrated maneuvers of the “MSF Rider Skill Test – Motorcycle and 3-Wheel Motorcycles” will make the test easier for you. The maneuvers can be seen in Exhibit E of 19- 122, Hawaii Administrative Rules on web site:
