To help ensure Utah motorcyclists are prepared for the punch a bike can have, the Driver License Division has new rules requiring riders to pass a driving test on new categories of larger bikes.
Riders previously had to qualify on a bike that was either less than 90cc or more than 90cc. Now, those upper divisions include 249cc, 649cc and street-legal ATVs. If a driver owns a smaller bike and uses a friend's, that driver must pass a test to legally ride the larger motorcycle.
Utah lawmakers agreed Wednesday to let the division implement the new rules.
