Can anyone tell me what the DMV riders skill test is like in Virginia?

Sorry... I haven't a clue, but I bet that you can get a lot of information from Virginia's DMV website...

I did go to the site and I downloaded the pdf's showing the skills tested for a motorcycle. There is a guy that my husband works with that told him him that Trikes basically have to accelerate to least 30 MPH and then have an emergency stop. This does not seem like a very hard or good test, so I just wanted confirmation that it is true.

I have only been riding for 6 days now and even I can get up to 30 and then stop. Just trying to judge my possibility of failure.

Just do your bit with ryding and developing your skills and you'll have no trouble at all with whatever they throw at you!

Confidence is perhaps the biggest wildcard in test-taking... Go into it knowing that you're a safe and skilled rider, and that alone is about 90% of the battle. Can you call a local DMV office and ask them what is specifically included in the testing process? They nay not give you specifics, but if they can allay your fears...
