Chapter Trans 129 - Motorcycle licensing and courses
Section Trans 129.03 - Student requirements for waiver

Current through February 26, 2024

(1) As a requirement for a waiver of skills test under s. 343.16(2) (cm), Stats., a person shall meet all of the following requirements:

(a) Hold a valid motorcycle instruction permit.

(b) Provide proof that the person has completed a basic rider course. The proof may be in the form of a waiver authorization form meeting the requirements of s. Trans 129.13 or other proof from another jurisdiction showing the person is entitled to a waiver under s. Trans 129.07. The waiver shall be valid for one year from the date of rider course completion. The waiver validity period may be extended for a person serving in the military and unable to apply for a license within the one-year period. Waivers shall be original documents.

(2) A person who takes and fails a motorcycle skills test after completing a basic rider education course is not eligible for the motorcycle skills test waiver.

A driver who has demonstrated incompetence despite having attended a basic rider course will not be licensed. This provision is adopted to avoid issuing a license to a known incompetent driver and then requiring an examination for cause under s., 343.16 (6), Stats.
