I had to have someone with a motorcycle license within a 1/4 mile of me, I didn't.

Ah okay from his post, I thought maybe other states didnt have this permit option. If you had a permit, what was the problem?

I know several people here who have been riding 5 or more years and only have permits...lazy I guess.

A quarter mile from you? wow, where do you live? That actually seems dangerous to me for a new rider whose tendency will be to wonder where his "spotter" is to keep looking around for him|her, or to try and take instruction fom him/her. But I could be wrong ... I often am, lol

Seems clear cut from the main post. The law was violated.

There is no "Easy" button to push because for some reason your in a jam. Follow the rules or as Paris Hilton found out, it only gets worse.

just an interesting learners note (i have nothing to add otherwise to this thread)...

i got mine a week or so ago. it was a 25 question test - i have to get at least 20 correct.

my learners allows me to ride anywhere in the state of north carolina at any time of the day as long as i don't have a passenger. not very many restrictions for an nc learners permit.

He either lives in New York state or a state that operates the same way.

Permits require a licensed rider within 1/4 mile and the DMV takes 4 weeks to process the MSF paperwork and send off your road test waiver.

im not sure if there is any state that doesnt require you to ride "with" another liscenced driver. In michigan you have to have a liscenced rider with you (not 1/4 mile away actually within 2 car lengths of) at all times along with your permit.
