Did you know that in Massachusetts, eye protection is mandatory for all riders unless the motorcycle is equipped with a windshield? The strong wind can cause your eyes to water or dry out, leading to blurred vision. Rain, snow, or even bright sunlight can interfere with your ability to see clearly. A face shield offers the best protection for your eyes from dust, dirt, insects, and the wind. Goggles are less effective. Most eyeglasses and sunglasses will not protect your eyes adequately.

Becoming a safe and responsible rider in Massachusetts starts with studying the official RMV motorcycle operator manual (Massachusetts Motorcycle Manual). This valuable resource explains the various aspects of riding theory in detail, including licensing requirements, avoiding collisions, and keeping a safe distance from other vehicles.

The official motorcycle knowledge exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions based on this manual. We’ll help you obtain a score of at least 72% on your first attempt, but you must be consistent in your study. Our Massachusetts RMV motorcycle permit practice tests are designed with efficiency in mind. Featuring a simple and straightforward interface, each practice test is available 24/7. You get unlimited attempts to train as often as you want. We have omitted any timer from this tool to let you learn at your own pace. Focus on mastering the material and use the available features to personalize your experience. The voice-over function can be found in the “Test settings” menu on the left side of the page. Once you activate it, an artificial voice will read the questions and answer choices aloud. You can also change the font size by using the slider from this menu. Make the text bigger or smaller until it becomes easier to read from an arm’s length distance from the screen.

We understand you’re eager to ride your favorite motorcycle on Massachusetts’s roads. The Bay State has a lot to offer riders, regardless of their experience or preferences. However, safety is a priority for every road user, and all riders must take extra care to protect themselves on the road.
