PURPOSE: This rule sets forth the standards for student admission into the motorcycle training school.
(1) Student Requirements.
(A) Motorcycle entry-level training courses
are open to any person who is at least fifteen and one-half (15 1/2) years old
on the day the course begins. The student must provide proof of identification
in the form of a state-issued driver license, graduated driver license (GDL),
driving instructional permit, or identification in order to obtain a license
testing waiver.
(B) A prospective
student younger than eighteen (18) years of age seeking admission to an
authorized motorcycle training school must provide the motorcycle training
school with a letter or form consenting to the student's participation as a
student in the course and to receive medical treatment for any injury that may
occur at the motorcycle training school executed by the student's parent or
legal guardian.
(C) Prior to
admitting an individual to an entry-level course, a motorcycle training school
must inform the individual that-
1. A student
whose riding performance creates an unmanageable danger on the range, as
determined in the sole discretion of the instructor, will be removed from the
course and is not entitled to additional attempts to successfully complete the
riding skills test; and
2.
Experienced rider courses are restricted to individuals with a current
motorcycle Class M driver license or motorcycle endorsement. Each student must
provide his/her own motorcycle that meets the requirements of subsections
(3)(A)- (E) of this rule, below.
(2) Verification of Course Completion.
(A) A motorcycle training school must issue a
division-approved course completion certificate to students who successfully
complete an entry-level course. The certificate must be signed by an instructor
who taught the course or a designated representative of the motorcycle training
school.
(B) A motorcycle school
must issue a division-approved course completion certificate that is restricted
to the operation of a three- (3-) wheeled motorcycle if the student-completed
entry-level course is specific to the operation of a three- (3-) wheeled
motorcycle.
(C) The division may
issue a duplicate course completion certificate to a student to replace a lost
certificate for up to three (3) calendar years from the date the course was
completed. The duplicate certificate must bear the same certificate number and
course completion date as the original certificate.
(D) A course completion certificate for an
entry-level course may only be issued to a student who has successfully
completed a written examination and riding skills test required by the approved
course curriculum.
(3) Motorcycle Requirements.
(A) The lead course
instructor must reject a motorcycle for use if it fails to meet the
requirements of this section or if the motorcycle is unsafe for the rider, an
instructor, another student, or any other person permitted in the training site
as determined by the instructor in his/her sole discretion. A motorcycle may be
deemed unsafe because of, but not limited to, modification, damage, lack of
maintenance, nonstandard configuration, or any other substantial safety concern
as determined by the instructor in his/her sole discretion.
(B) Any student-owned motorcycle used in
training must-
1. Meet all the requirements
for operation on public highways;
2. Have proof of minimum liability insurance,
as required by section
303.190, RSMo, available for
inspection by the lead course instructor;
3. Be intended by the manufacturer for street
use; and
4. Meet all other
requirements of this rule.
(C) A student may use a borrowed motorcycle
if the student presents written permission from the motorcycle owner permitting
the student to use the motorcycle to participate in the motorcycle training
course and if the motorcycle meets all other requirements of this
rule.
(D) A motorcycle with an
engine displacement of over 500 cubic centimeters (cc)-
1. May not be used in the entry level course;
and
2. May be used in the advanced
course only if it meets all other requirements of this rule.
(E) No motorcycle training school
may provide a motorcycle for student use in a non-license-waiver course. If a
motorcycle training school provides a motorcycle for student use in the
entry-level course, the motorcycle must-
1.
Meet the safety requirements of subsection (3)(A) of this rule;
2. Not be prohibited by subsection (3)(D) of
this rule;
3. Be inspected and
insured; and
4. Be intended by the
manufacturer for street use.
