Missouri is known for its beautiful byways, including the Ozark Mountain roads, Route 66, and Missouri Wine Country. The winding roads are best explored on two wheels, especially during the summer when the sun sets late in the evening. Although the freedom of riding on the open roads of Missouri is a unique experience, safety is the main priority. All riders under 26 years of age are required to wear helmets unless they have health insurance coverage. The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) only issues the class M motorcycle license to aspiring riders who are willing to master this subject.

Become a skilled rider with our Missouri DOR motorcycle permit practice tests. Use this intuitive tool to evaluate your knowledge of the various aspects of riding theory described in the official DOR motorcycle operator handbook (Missouri Motorcycle Manual). Each practice test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on this manual. To pass, you must score at least 80%. Unlike other practice tests that reveal your score at the end, this test updates in real-time as you progress. Mistakes are common among beginners who are unfamiliar with this subject. Do not get discouraged after selecting a wrong answer. A detailed explanation is provided after every question, allowing you to reinforce your knowledge and understand why your choice was incorrect.

We understand that several mistakes in a row can discourage even the most determined students. While we recommend ignoring your score during your first few attempts, you can always start afresh. Use the “Restart test” button at the top-right corner of the page to wipe your current progress and begin a new session with a randomized order of questions. Don’t worry about running out of chances; you get unlimited attempts to train with our practice tests. As the exam day approaches, you’ll replace anxiety with confidence. Consistently training with our practice tests ensures that you’ll become familiar with the test format and ready to tackle every question with ease.

Missouri motorcycle rules to know

Rules that are specific to Missouri or often differ from other states

Eye protection rule

Missouri law doesn't require you to wear eye protection. Still, you and your passenger should still wear safety goggles or a face shield, whether or not the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield.

Passenger equipment rule

You may carry a passenger if your motorcycle is equipped to carry another person. It must have a passenger seat and designated footrests.
