Motorcycle, scooter laws changing

If you're looking to get a motorcycle or scooter to help overcome high gas prices, you should know Utah law is about to change on how you get a license.

If you're under 19 and want to drive a scooter or motorcycle, you'll have to get a two-month learners' permit before you get an endorsement on your license.

A motorcyclist we talked to said it makes sense to him. "People have to learn how to ride the bikes, you know," he said.

Another change for everyone: You can only drive a motorcycle or scooter with an engine as big as, or smaller than, the one you took your test on at the Division of Motor Vehicles.

A scooter driver in Provo says that's fine with him. He doesn't need a bigger bike. "I actually live in Spanish Fork, so I go to and from Spanish Fork all the time," he said.

These new biker laws take effect July 1.
