Regards electric bicycle operation, education, and traffic safety
HB 948 updates Ohio laws to improve electric bicycle safety by requiring driver's license exams to include knowledge of how to operate vehicles near electric bicycles. The bill also allows individuals who complete an approved motorcycle safety course within the last 60 days to skip the practical riding test for their endorsement. Additionally, it clarifies that a motorcycle endorsement permits the owner to operate a motor-driven cycle or motor scooter. These changes aim to standardize testing procedures and promote education for riders and drivers alike.
