If you’re going to get your SD motorcycle permit or license, you have to pass an exam that goes over the various fines and limits. If you fail to pass this test, you won’t receive your license or permit. What that means is you need to study before the big day. Don’t just waltz into the South Dakota DMV on test day and think you will pass it. Instead, take this Fines and Limits Motorcycle Practice Test so you’ll be prepared.

Test Your Knowledge

Many people go into the practice test with the belief that they already know quite a bit of information. They think they know all there is to know about fines and limits, only to be surprised by their practice test scores. Fortunately, the DMV doesn’t know how you perform on your practice test, so you can get a bad score and then try again.

Use the hints as you go through the practice exam. These hints will provide you with some help you can use as you move from one question to the next. In addition, if you get a question wrong, the test will highlight the right answer and provide an explanation. Read over the explanation carefully so you will be ready to answer that question on exam day.
