6. Why take a course with Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training?

Upon successful completion, you’ll have learned how to become a safe and responsible motorcyclist. You will receive your completion certificate right at the end of class, which normally waives the requirement to take the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) written exam and road test, in order to have the M endorsement placed on your license. Also, you may be eligible for a discount on your insurance. Note, The State DMV examiner reserves the right to retest anyone, but this is very rare.

7. Do I have to be a resident of Sarpy County to take a course with Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training (NMST)?

Anyone holding a valid driver’s license or permit can take a class with us. If your Driver’s License is from Nebraska, upon successful completion of the course, take your completion certificate to the Nebraska DMV office of your choice. The DMV will place the motorcycle endorsement on and remake your license. You will be required to take a vision test. Once this is complete and barring any further testing requirements your license will be reissued with the endorsement. The note above applies also. If your operator’s license was issued in another state you will need to contact your home state for instructions. Military personnel on orders fall in a different category and should contact their unit admin and or the local JAG office for special instructions.

8. Will I get a license after the course?

Upon successful completion, the RiderCoach will award your completion card. Take the completion card (proof of course completion) to the DMV, and they will re-issue your Nebraska driver’s license with an "M" endorsement, normally without any further testing at or by the DMV.

9. What is a motorcycle endorsement?

An "M" or motorcycle endorsement authorizes the license holder to operate a motorcycle, 3-wheel motorcycle, or scooter. An "M" endorsement with a "Z" restriction further limits the license holder to the operation of a 3-wheel motorcycle or scooter only. This restriction is used when the individual takes the Scooter Basic RiderCourse (SBRC) and not the Basic Rider Course (BRC).

10. Do I need to get a motorcycle learner’s permit before I take the course?

A motorcycle learner’s permit is not required for any of our classes.

11. What if I am 16 or 17 years of age? Can I take a class with Nebraska Motorcycle Safety Training (NNST)?
