motorcycle endorsement

[whitjim10]

I live in south carolina I have a motorcycle endorsement that i got when I had MY HARLEY. SOUTH CAROLINA DOES NOT REQUIRE ENDORSEMENT FOR THE SPYDER.
My question is if you live in a state that does not require endorsement what is the law when traveling through other states.:dontknow::dontknow::dontknow:

The requirements of your home state (where your license was issued) should be acceptable in any state. If you ever move, of course you would have to comply with the requirement of your new state. That said, I would think a full motorcycle endorsement would satisfy the requirements for a Spyder in any state, although I've not researched that.

I also live in SoCar.... and I wrote my State Senator, Larry Martin, about just this issue... he has assured me (in writing) that anyone from SC that rides a 3 wheeled vehicle in any of the 50 States, (or is it 57 States), they are legal. Any 2 wheeled motorcycle with a 'side-cart' is considered a 3 wheeled vehicle...

Dan,
DON'T get me started... :gaah:

I'd be careful on that one and double check with the specific state your in or passing through. The way we were always told is that you are required to abide by the laws of the state your in, no matter where your from.

 

[DrewNJ]

Also, I happen to know for a fact that if you hold an OH drivers license at 16, and get pulled over in NJ where you are required to be 17, you will be ticketed. We've already had a family member go through that....so be careful...

The states have reciprocity regarding the license, however remember that does not apply to the helmet requirements. Each state is different.

 

[Bob Denman]

Check the Statutes in New Jersey...
They will abide by the rules in the State that you come from.
It can cause some interesting questions to pop up at times... :shocked:
Kansas doesn't require a license plate on certain trailers; the 622 falls under this rule...
A very good friend of mine showed up with a "plateless" 622 for SpyderQuest... No problems! :2thumbs:
It has to do with reciprocity agreements among the States... They kind of have to "Go along, to get along"...
Accidents and violations end up getting reported to your Home State, Your registration and insurance are recognized; even if they don't meet the visited State's requirements***


*** It's not a bad idea to make sure that your insurance limits are high enough to cover where you're going. You can till end up in a lawsuit if your insurance won't cover an Out-of-State claim.

Guns... :gaah: The rules concerning motor vehicles do NOT apply to them. :sour:

Bob;
again... SoCar does not require a plate (TAG), for a utility/boat trailer 16 feet and under... however, if i tow my trailer behind my TUNDRA into North Carolina without a TAG on it... BINGO, they win the $$$.... strange how these things work...

And to add to it...if you have a PA boat license and get pulled over or boarded piloting a vessel registered in NJ your cooked. NJ does not in any way, shape or form recognize a PA boat license UNLESS you are on a vessel registered in your home state. Been around that one too...

Yea, just better to double check because there are some screwy state specific laws that may not make sense.

As for guns, we have a local woman from PA get pulled over in NJ and facing 5 years for "weapons violations". Dont know all the details, but from my understanding she was totally legal in PA but not in NJ....crazy!

I have a motorcycle endorsement on my license, and I MUST carry a card saying" Restricted to Riding A Three Wheel Motorcycle Only.

" This card is By: Vermont Agency of Transportation Dept. of Motor Vehicles. IMPORTANT: Must be carried with License/Permit!!!!!! The state of Vermont started this 2 years ago?? about the above info.

And we have a helmet law. I live in Vermont. I hope this helps.

...interesting thread!

...I agree that it's worth checking out from State to State to see which rules might or might not apply. Back in the 80's, the State of Vermont has license "classes". Most states back then designated Class 1 as being an endorsement for Commercial Trucks. In Vermont, the standard Class 1 driver could drive anything but a School Bus or a Motorcycle. In other States, Class 1 was a "Chauffer's" License. When they came out with the National CDL License, Vermont drivers merely had to take the CDL written test, and not an actual driving test. I went, took the tests, and was endorsed for Trucks over 18,000 lbs. GVWR, Busses (except School), doubles, triples, and Hazardous waste. At the time, I was responsible for setting up a 25-State dealer network for a Trailer Manufacturer, and from time to time would deliver said trailers. I'm betting you'll find out that you will be fine in all 50-states without an endorsement. Please let us know what you find out. Bob..

Vermont has made a lot of changes over the years. I was a driver license examiner in Vermont in the 70s, testing everything on wheels. I was always amazed when someone would bring in a friend's bike because it was smaller. :gaah:They usually clumsily, rode the course, often failing. I told anyone who scheduled a test bring Your own bike, the course was big enough for Harley, BMW so etc. Bring the bike you Ryde. Much better.

You need a license to drive a boat?

You're good in any state you drive through.

As far as being ticketed for an unlicensed trailer, I hauled one back from SC to NC for a friend. Towed it from Anderson, SC to Greenville, NC. Never had a problem. There are so many unlicensed trailers being driven around NC it's laughable. Especially the junky ones that don't even have working lights. If you bought it in SC and live in SC and the tow vehicle is registered in SC the ticket is invalid.

Yup, In NJ you need a NJ approved safety certification for tidal waters. You need both a safety certification and boat license/endorsement for non-tidal waters. Kayaks and canoes and such you don't....
