Just my opinion --nothin more, nothin less. |
It's not required in Iowa either. In fact, I was "lucky" enough to have to take the DMV driving test regardless of me passing the MSF course (Iowa works on a lottery system, where, if you were born on a certain date, you have to take the driving test - I had the choice of taking the test or waiting until the next quarter - I didn't want to wait that long!). I knew this ahead of time and still took the course. If it would have been harder, that would not have affected my decision. I took the course to be sure that motorcycles was something that I wanted to deal with. So, I'm going to have to kinda, disagree with you, there, Poe-boy - but just a little.
