Utah’s scenic routes are best explored on two wheels. Here, riders are rewarded with breathtaking views and a sense of freedom like no other. Navigating the winding roads through the towering red rock formations of Zion National Park requires careful handling and a steady throttle, especially at higher elevations. We know you’re eager to explore what Utah has to offer, but you must prioritize safety at all times. Beginners must be especially aware of the steep grades. These inclines can affect braking and throttle control, so it’s important to maintain a steady speed and use engine braking to avoid overheating the brakes. The official DMV motorcycle operator manual (Utah Motorcycle Manual) elaborates on this subject. It also explains other aspects of riding theory, including basic vehicle control, carrying passengers, and keeping a safe distance from other road users.

Our Utah motorcycle permit practice tests are based on this manual. Read its content at least once, and then begin your training. Each practice test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you must score at least 80%, but you shouldn’t be disappointed if you fail at first. It is perfectly normal for beginners to make mistakes, and you can always try again for better results. Since our practice tests are available online 24/7, you can train at home or any other place where you have an active internet connection. Add flexibility to your learning phase and develop a new study routine. You get unlimited attempts to take our practice tests and strengthen your knowledge through repetition. Unlike the official exam, our tests do not have a timer. Learn at your own pace, and only select an answer when you’re confident in your choice.

Stuck on a difficult question? Request a hint from our automated assistant. Its insight will nudge you in the right direction without revealing the correct answer. Train with this intuitive tool for several weeks and ace the official motorcycle knowledge exam on your first attempt. Utah’s open roads await you, but you must be ready to handle its challenges. With consistent training, you will overcome test anxiety and gain the confidence to handle any road, no matter how challenging it may seem.

Utah motorcycle rules to know

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

Helmet rule

Under Utah law, every motorcyclist under 21 years of age and every passenger under 21 years of age must wear an approved helmet while riding a motorcycle.

Eye protection rule

Utah law does not require motorcyclists or passengers to wear eye protection. Still, you should wear eye protection at all times anyway, even if your motorcycle has a windshield.

Permit or endorsement rule

An aspiring motorcyclist must obtain and hold a motorcycle learner permit for at least two months before he or she may take the motorcycle skill test for the motorcycle endorsement.

Lane splitting or filtering

Under Utah law, riding between two lanes of traffic (often called lane splitting) is illegal. Since May 15, 2019, it is legal to ride at no more than 15 mph between two lanes of stopped traffic or pass a stopped vehicle in your lane (often called lane filtering) but only if the speed limit on the roadway is no higher than 45 mph.
