Section 19-123-353 - Test administration

The skill test shall be administered to evaluate the rider's control of the motorcycle while maneuvering the motorcycle through a variety of successively more complex exercises. Painted lines and cone markers shall delineate the test exercises, which are superimposed on the practice riding area.

(1) The instructor shall score the student with the aid of a stopwatch and timing distance chart similar to that used in administration of the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Rider Skill Test for Motorcycles and 3-Wheel Motorcycles licensing test procedures;
(2) The instructor shall utilize a clipboard and an individual score sheet for each student to be tested. A copy of the score sheet is shown at the end of this chapter;
(3) Four-inch traffic cones shall be used to mark specific points on the test exercises, and to clearly delineate the exercise path. Cones should not encroach onto the path of travel;
(4) A passing score is 0-20 penalty points-assessed. The student is scored on his or her ability to perform the skill test without incurring assessment of penalty points.

(B) Foot-down errors, improper riding techniques, and failure to achieve performance standards also result in the assessment of penalty points; and
(C) The student's errors are scored objectively using specific scoring procedures, and penalty points are assessed on a standard score sheet.
(5) All primary instructors who are qualified to issue the skills test shall be subject to random examinations, inspections and audits, without prior notice, by the state or the licensing authority within each county to assure that test integrity is maintained; and
(6) The skills test shall be stopped by the primary instructor if the student becomes a hazard to him or herself or the other students, or commits an unsafe act during the testing procedure.
