• The test lot is a parking lot. The test is conducted entirely at the test site in the parking lot. Allow 30 minutes for the test. Use of an interpreter is permitted, but must be pre-arranged. Individuals who accompany applicants to the test site should be made aware that there is no shelter or waiting area at the test location.

Note

• The Michigan Department of State prohibits practicing at the test site. We cannot test any applicant whom we believe has practiced at the test site. Applicants are welcomed and encouraged to observe a motorcycle skills test prior to taking their test. The course dimensions and layout are included on page 60 of the Michigan Motorcycle Operator Manual so applicants may practice the maneuvers at home.
