One of the most famous rides in Tennessee is the Tail of the Dragon, an 11-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 129 that features 318 curves. This famous road challenges even the most experienced riders, but it also rewards the daring ones with breathtaking views. Although you may already have this journey on your bucket list, you should practice and improve your riding skills in a safe environment. The Tennessee Department of Safety (DMV) issues the official motorcycle operator manual (Tennessee Motorcycle Manual) and advises every aspiring rider to read it at least once.
Our Tennessee DMV motorcycle permit practice tests can also be used for educational purposes. Each practice test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions based on the official motorcycle operator manual. To promote an efficient learning environment for beginners, we don’t punish mistakes. Instead, we point them out as soon as they occur and help you learn from them. If you miss a question, immediate feedback will be provided to help you understand why your answer was wrong. Pay attention to this detailed explanation and note it down in a notebook or notebook app. As you train with our practice tests for several weeks, you’ll master the various aspects of riding theory through repetition.
Use the "Shift + ?" key combination to display a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. Use these shortcuts whenever you find them convenient during your training sessions. Our practice tests are not timed, so you won’t have to rush through the questions. Learn at your own pace and ignore your score during your first few attempts.
Anyone can pass the official motorcycle knowledge exam, but this shouldn’t be your final goal. These practice tests are designed to make you a safe and responsible rider, so you should keep using them even after obtaining a motorcycle license. With non-stop access and unlimited attempts, you can refresh your memory and stay updated to the latest changes brought by DMV rules or state law at any time.
What to review before adding a motorcycle endorsement or taking the rider knowledge test
Based on recent Driving-Tests.org answers for this test family.
Practice choosing lane position for visibility, escape routes, group riding formation, and hazards near intersections.
Review lane choice, headlight use, reflective gear, signals, and ways to stay out of drivers' blind spots.
Review controlled stops, use of both brakes, stopping distance, and how to brake without locking a wheel.
Focus on being seen, scanning for turning vehicles, covering the controls, and leaving a space cushion in traffic.
Rules that are specific to Tennessee or often differ from other states
Tennessee law requires every motorcyclist and passenger to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.
Title 55, Chapter 9, Part 3 of the Tennessee Code lists a variety of other motorcycle equipment-related offenses that are also considered Class C misdemeanors, such as riding without wearing eye protection on a motorcycle that lacks a windshield.
A motorcycle needs a full lane width to maneuver safely. A motorcycle should never be ridden between lanes of traffic, even if it looks like there is room.
Under Tennessee law, to carry a passenger, your motorcycle must have footrests and seat room for the person. The passenger must wear a helmet.
Use this test as a quick diagnosis, then review the rider topics you missed before another full run.
