ABATE of Florida, Inc. recognizes that rider education is an important part of motorcycle safety. Statistics show that uneducated and inexperienced riders are at greater risk.

Florida law requires a motorcycle endorsement on your driver’s license to legally operate a motorcycle.  As of July 1, 2008, completion of a 15-hour approved Basic Rider Course (BRC) is required for all motorcyclists who wish to obtain a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle only license.

Many locations offer an experienced rider course as well as the Basic Rider Course.  Here is the Florida Department of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles' list of approved Basic Rider Course sponsors: course sponsors.
