Bonjour Rachid,
En Floride, fonction de la situation (détenteur de permis de conduire ou non, ou si c'est un 3 roues) à partir de 50CC il faut passer une certification.
Si tu as déjà le permis moto en France, il sera convertis automatiquement à ton arrivée (comme moi) donc rien à faire, rien à passer>
Starting on July 1, 2008 the State of Florida requires that new Motorcyclists (regardless of age) must take and pass the Basic Rider Course through the Florida Rider Training Program before they get a motorcycle only license or can have the Motorcycle Endorsement added to their drivers license.
When you have successfully completed the Basic Rider Course the sponsor will submit the results to the DMV electronically.
There are two types of motorcycle drivers licenses in Florida. You must have one of the following if you are going to operate a two or three wheel motorcycle that has an engine over 50 cc.
Motorcycle Endorsement
If you already have a Florida drivers license then you can get a motorcycle endorsement on the drivers license you hold. To obtain your motorcycle endorsement you must show proof that you have completed the Florida Rider Program.
Motorcycle Only License
To get a Motorcycle Only license you must be at least 16 years old and have held a learners permit for at least a year with no traffic convictions. If you are over 18 you are not required to have held a learners permit. You must pass the standard class E operators license test that all drivers take to get a drivers license and complete the Basic Riders Course.
Three Wheel Motorcycles
To operate a three wheel motorcycle you must complete the S/TEP - Sidecar / Trike Evaluation Program. This course provides basic skills for those operating three wheel motorcycles and and side car rigs.
Those who pass the Motorycycle S/TEP course will have an "S" restriction on their license. The S Restriction indicates that the person only has permission to operate a three wheeled motorcycle.
Temporary Instruction Permit To Operate a Motorcycle
As of July 1, 2008 there will be NO temporary permits issued by the State of Florida.
Florida Helmet Laws
If you are 21 years old and covered by an insurance policy with at least $10,000 in medical benefits you can get a Helmet exemption. Note that law enforcement may stop you if you are not wearing a helmet and they believe you are under 21.
