MSF and the CA DMV
My daughter just completed the MSF course last weekend. She was surprised though when she took her form to the DMV. They didn't give her the license right away.
Evidently, there is a new policy that they watch you do a road test. It is not the "lollipop". It is an actual road test. They had my daughter ride through down the street and make a U Turn at the next street, comeback and run through the curve and make another U turn.
When I got my license 18 months ago, I just presented the form and they gave me a m/c license.

The scenery only changes for the lead scooterist.

Everyone seems to have a different story of what happened to them when they went to the DMV. Who knows what's going on? When I got my license it was a different experience from your daughter AND from what others had told me.

I can speak for TN.
The state still reserves the right to re-test a MSF graduate, to issue a M endorsment. I have never heard of any MSF grad in the state of TN having to take any written or skills test @ a TN DMV. Most TN MSF grads just have to pass a money test and present there certificate/card.

This is the first I've heard of a change in policy. The CA MSP (our state version of the MSF) site has nothing about it.

My daughter protested and they had to ask 3 different employees. The final word came down, "road test".
It sounds bizarre but it happened. She had to come back the next day for the test. But then again, what sounds bizarre to us is normal for the DMV.

She had her form. But we live across the street from our local DMV. My daughter passed their stupid road test.olhogrider wrote:Stupid bureaucrats! Did she bring her certificate of completion from the course? I would go to a different office, then file a complaint against the incompetent one.
