Motorcycle instruction permit--Application requirements--Examination and fee--
Restrictions.
Any person who is at least fourteen years of age but less than eighteen years of age
applying for a South Dakota motorcycle operator's license, motorcycle restricted minor's permit, or
motorcycle instruction permit who does not currently hold an operator's license, motorcycle
operator's license, restricted minor's permit, motorcycle restricted minor's permit, instruction permit,
or motorcycle instruction permit that has been valid continuously for one hundred eighty days, shall
apply to the Department of Public Safety for an instruction permit which shall be held for a
minimum of one hundred eighty continuous days. The department may, after the applicant has
successfully passed all parts of the examination other than the driving test and paid a fee which is
equal in amount to the fee prescribed for a license in § 32-12-16, issue to the applicant a motorcycle
instruction permit.
A motorcycle instruction permit is not required to obtain a motorcycle operator's license or a
motorcycle restricted minor's permit if the applicant currently holds an instruction permit, restricted
minor's permit, or operator's license that has been valid continuously for one hundred eighty days.
A motorcycle instruction permit entitles the holder, while having the permit in the permit holder's
immediate physical possession, to operate a motorcycle during the hours of 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. if the
permit holder is accompanied by a licensed motorcycle operator who is at least eighteen years of age,
who has at least one year of driving experience, and who is driving another motorcycle along with
the permit holder. No motorcycle instruction permit holder may carry another person on the
motorcycle. The permit is valid for one year. The holder of an instruction permit or motorcycle
instruction permit may apply for a motorcycle restricted minor's permit or motorcycle operator's
license after holding a valid instruction permit for one hundred eighty continuous days.
