Don Snemis, Commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), announced Wednesday that the BMV has released an informational video, entitled “Motor Driven Cycles Rules of the Road” explaining the new Motor Driven Cycle (MDC) laws that begin on Jan. 1, 2015.
“This video will inform Hoosiers how to register their MDCs and how to get a proper license to operate an MDC on Indiana’s roads,” Commissioner Snemis said. “The video will help all drivers stay safe and legal, and I encourage everyone to watch it.”
MDCs, commonly referred to as scooters, mopeds or motorized bicycles, are now divided into MDC-A or MDC-B classes. The video includes the following information:
• MDC-A and MDC-B definitions
• Where to identify MDC-A or MDC-B engine size
• What is needed to lawfully operate an MDC-A and MDC-B
• Documents to bring to a BMV branch in order to properly register an MDC
• Endorsements needed to operate an MDC
Additionally, the video discusses what MDC-A and MDC-B plates will look like, along with some general laws and rules of the road while operating an MDC.
“It is our goal to educate Hoosiers with motor driven cycles and help them be prepared for a quick and easy trip to their local BMV branch once this new law goes into effect on January 1, 2015,” said Snemis.
