Graduates of the Motorcycle Safety Course
Having successfully completed the motorcycle safety classes, students will be given a MSF completion card confirming that the classes have been successfully completed. This card can be used to waive the skills test portion of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) licensing and can also possibly be used, depending on insurance carrier, to reduce insurance premiums. This card is good for 1 year only. Please note that completing the course does not exempt applicants from taking the NCDMV written motorcycle test.
