Florida Requires All to Have a Motorcycle Rider Class Before Grasnting License

As of July 1, 2008 all new motorcycle riders in Florida will be required to take and pass a 15 hour motorcycle riding class before taking their knowledge and skills test. The class is broken down to 5 hours of classroom reviewing rules of the road and particular hazards that motorcyclists face every day. The other 10 hours is practical riding skills practicing cornering, swerving and emergency stopping. I say about time. One of the most interesting comments was that after having taken the class that the students found themselves more watchful of motorcycles while they are driving their cars. Perhaps we should incorporate some education in the driving classes about the hazards that motorcyclists face.

 ... written by a guest , January 06, 2010 Agreed! I think this is a very good idea. It's interesting that the students were more aware of motorcycles after the course. I would support incorporating some motorcycle-awareness, or like you said, teaching about the hazards motorcyclists face, into driving classes. Great post.
