TRENTON – Legislation Assemblyman Sgt. Bob Andrzejczak sponsored to make it easier for those serving in the military to receive authorization to operate a motorcycle was advanced by an Assembly committee.
The bill (A-3829) would allow military personnel serving outside of the state to receive a motorcycle endorsement for a valid New Jersey driver’s license without having to return to New Jersey to retake a written exam or road test or complete another motorcycle safety course, provided they present proof of completion of a basic motorcycle rider course similar to the one required by state law and approved by the armed services.
“The U.S. military takes motorcycle safety very seriously,” said Andrzejczak (D-Cape May/Atlantic/Cumberland), an Army veteran who served in Iraq. “Anyone who has successfully completed military motorcycle training certainly is qualified enough to meet state standards.”
All residents operating a motorcycle in New Jersey must have a motorcycle endorsement on their existing driver’s license or a separate motorcycle license. Service members are required by the military to perform accident avoidance and motorcycle safety training that exceeds MVC standards, Andrzejczak noted.
The measure was advanced by the Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee.
