Purchasing Your First Motorcycle? Learn About These Two Laws Before You Hit The Streets

Law Blog

If you are purchasing your first motorcycle, you need to be aware of the laws that pertain to you. This is because motorcycle laws are much different when compared to other vehicles. The exact laws you have to follow do depend on the state that you live in. It is important that you determine what the laws are, as this is vital if you get in an accident, and this will affect your case drastically. If you are in any kind of accident, you must hire a motorcycle accident lawyer to help you. This lawyer can also give you a lot of information about the laws below.

Having the Proper License

If you get a motorcycle, your car drivers license must have an endorsement added to it. This endorsement proves that you can legally drive a motorcycle. If you are stopped or are in an accident and do not have this endorsement, you would likely lose your license. Not having the endorsement will also affect your case.

In most cases, you will have to take a driver's test to prove that you know the motorcycle laws. Depending on the state that you live in, you may also have to take a safety and driver's course and pass the test that is given. This course will teach you a lot about how to properly drive a motorcycle, as well as teach you about safety while you are driving. 

Having the Right Safety Equipment

Along with your license endorsement, you must also have the right safety equipment while driving your motorcycle. What you need does depend on the state that you live in, however. Most states do require that you wear a motorcycle helmet as well as eye protection. You may also be required to wear the right type of shoes, vests that are reflective so you can easily be seen at night, and clothing that has padding inside of it. 

The brake lights on your motorcycle must always work, as well as your turning signals. The headlight on your motorcycle must be on no matter if it is day or night. If you are in an accident, a police officer will likely determine if you have the right safety equipment. If not, you could be held liable for the accident whether it was your fault or not. This means your insurance company will have to pay medical bills of people that were injured, pay to replace vehicles, and more. 

Talk with your motorcycle accident attorney as there are more laws that you will have to follow.
