What is Intermediate Rider Training (IRT) for?

• A. For riders 16 and older, and waives both tests.
• B. For riders 21 and older, and only waives the motorcycle skills test.
• C. For riders 25 and older, and waives neither test.
• D. For riders 18 and older, and waives the knowledge test only.

Answer: (B)

Intermediate Rider Training gives riders a recognized level of training so they don’t have to take the on-cycle riding test, but only if they are 21 or older. Completing the program waives the motorcycle skills test, while the knowledge test still must be passed. This is why the option describing riders 21 and older with a waiver for the skills test (and not the knowledge test) is the best fit. The other age options don’t match who can qualify, and the different waivers (for both tests or for the knowledge test only) don’t reflect how IRT works.
