Summary
This Bill requires operators of three-wheeled motorcycles to take appropriate knowledge and skills tests and obtain a motorcycle endorsement on their driver license. Persons who take a motorcycle endorsement skills test on a three-wheeled motorcycle will have a three-wheeled motorcycle restriction, in addition to the motorcycle endorsement, limiting their operation to three-wheeled motorcycles only. Anyone who holds a motorcycle endorsement without a restriction is permitted to operate a two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle. This Bill includes a grandfather clause allowing anyone who currently operates a three-wheeled motorcycle, whose three-wheeled motorcycle is registered prior to the effective date of this Act to be waived from the required knowledge and skills tests. Those who are grandfathered will still be required to obtain the endorsement with the three-wheeled motorcycle restriction.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 21 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Driver Licenses.
