Topic overview

This section explains restrictions and endorsements, which appear in the lower left-hand corner of a credential and are described on the back. Restrictions limit how you may drive, and the most common ones result from a vision screening.

Common restrictions include B (glasses or contact lenses), F (outside rearview mirrors), and G (daylight driving only). Endorsement L is motorcycle and endorsement 2 is for-hire. To obtain a motorcycle endorsement, you complete a Ride Safe Indiana motorcycle safety course or pass both the motorcycle knowledge and riding skills exams.

A motorcycle learner's permit requires holding a valid Indiana driver's license and passing a knowledge exam based on the Motorcycle Operator's Manual; it is valid for one year and may be renewed one time. A Motor Driven Cycle (MDC) operator must be at least 15 years of age. An autocycle requires only a valid Indiana driver's license, with no motorcycle learner's permit or endorsement needed.
