A Florida car driver wants to ride a conventional 500cc motorcycle on public roads. What must be added to the license?
Correct answer: A motorcycle endorsement
Ordinary car-driving privileges do not authorize this motorcycle. Florida records motorcycle authorization on the license after the applicant meets the requirements.
