DMV accepting Basic RiderCourse 2 completion for motorcycle endorsement application
RICHMOND, Va. (WFXR)—The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is now accepting the license and skills course completion certificate from the Basic RiderCourse 2 (BRC2) administered through the Virginia Rider Training Program as a part of their new Pilot Program.
In correlation with Motorcycle Safety Month, this will allow experienced motorcyclists to get the proper endorsement on their license and brush up on safety training in a more accessible method. This is an effort to increase the number of endorsed riders on the Commonwealth’s roadways.
“We know that there are many experienced riders on the roads who don’t have their motorcycle endorsement. In fact, one in four motorcyclists involved in a crash are riding without a motorcycle endorsement,” said DMV Commissioner Gerald Lackey, the Governor’s Highway Safety Representative. “It’s our hope that by accepting the BRC2 certificate of completion we can cut down on the number of unendorsed riders. But most importantly we believe that getting motorcyclists the training they need will reduce motorcycle crashes, saving lives.”

The BRC2 program can be completed with a licensed training site in almost half the time as a Basic Rider course. Along with the three-hour online training, the program consists of a day of practical riding, safety training, and evaluation at a location approved by the Virginia Rider Training Program.
After passing, motorcyclists will need to bring in the completion certificate to a DMV location and only need to pass the vision screening to apply for a motorcycle endorsement.
