Y'all asked us to compare basic driver ' s license and motorcycle license requirements for 16- and 17-year olds.

Applicants for motorcycle endorsements therefore must first have a basic license.

The permits limit the public roads on which let holders may drive, the number of passengers they may transport, and the hours they may operate their vehicles.
