Find answers to your legal question.





Do you have to have a valid state driver's license to drive a moped on the road?

I don't have a driver's license and I am looking for alternative ways to get places. Do you need a license for a road-legal dirtbike? ( I live in the state of Maine)

Mopeds and scooters do require regular driver licences. It depends on the size and speed. Most places require the motorcycle licence for anything 50cc and over, capable of more than 30 mph, and the driver licence for the units under those numbers. What dirt-bike do you have that is street-legal? I have never seen one, unless you are referring to a dual-sport bike.

Depends on the state. Ontario, yes, you need a licence, and the moped has to have a licence plate and be covered by insurance.

It may vary from state to state but when I asked the same thing here (oklahoma) they told me you had to have a valid license to drive anything that required a tag (and anything motorized has to be tagged to be driven on public roads).

Check www.dmv.org for requirements to operate a motor vehicle on public thoroughfares.

Yes, a valid driver license is required. Insurance may be required, check your state's website for insurance regs.

JUST CALL YOUR STATE DMV OFFICE AND THEY WILL HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
