NEBRASKA MOTORCYCLE SAFETY TRAINING
The Motorcycle Safety Program operates under the direction of the Sarpy County Safety Board of Directors. In the State of Nebraska, lawful operation of a two- or three-wheeled motorcycle or scooter requires the operator (rider) to have an endorsement on his/her operators license. Successful completion of the BRC (Basic Rider Course) or BRC2 (Basic Rider Course 2) achieves this requirement. These courses provides the rider with risk management and safe riding techniques.
IME (Introductory Motorcycle Experience) course introduces the student to the experience of operating a motorcycle. This will help the student to determine if he/she wishes to proceed with additional training. This is a two-hour course and is designed to introduce the student to the concepts of riding and operating a motorcycle. It briefly discusses the risks of riding, the riding environment, motorcycle controls and moving the motorcycle.
BRC (Basic Rider Course) provides the student with basic formal instruction. This course is accomplished over a weekend and is composed of approximately 18 hours of classroom and range instruction. The course introduces and discusses risk management, the motorcycle environment, motorcycle controls and operation. It teaches the student the basic motorcycle operations. Successful completion of the BRC waives the requirement to take the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) written examination and road test. It qualifies the student for the motorcycle Endorsement "M" on their operator's license.
BRC2 (Basic Rider Course 2) is designed for the rider who has experience with past or current motorcycle riding. The course is approximately a one-day, 8-hour course. The rider practices and demonstrates riding skill by accomplishing a subset of the BRC exercises on his/her own motorcycle. It is an excellent skills refresher and enhancement course. A winter break from riding makes this course a great way to start the riding season. Successful completion of the BRC2 waives the need to take the Nebraska DMV written examination and road test. The course qualifies the student for the motorcycle Endorsement "M" on their operator's license.
Advanced Rider Course - Sport bike Techniques (ARC-ST) is the follow on to the BRC2 and may be taken by riders using any type of motorcycle. It is a one-day course, consisting of approximately 3 1/2 hours of classroom activities and 4 1/2 hours of riding. There are eight riding exercises. There is no formal skill test, but there is a knowledge test that may be self-scored.
3-Wheel BRC (3WBRC) is a basic, entry-level, learn-to-ride 3-wheel motorcycle (3WMC) training and education course. It provides the same fundamental skills as the BRC, but on 3-wheel, 3-track motorcycles (not sidecars). Only 3WMC's are allowed in a 3WBRC, and the student will need to supply their own 3WMC. MSF has very specific definitions of what a 3WMC can be and cannot be. Successful completion of the 3WBRC class waives the need to take the Nebraska DMV written examination and road test. It also qualifies the student for the motorcycle Endorsement-Other "Z" with a "3WMC Only" caveat to their operator's license. This course is normally accomplished over a weekend and is composed of approximately 12-14 hours of classroom and range instruction.
