Ohio riders seeking a motorcycle endorsement must pass a vision test and a specialized written exam and obtain a temporary practice permit before the riding test. State highway safety director Robert Chairamonte notes the change aims to cut cycle deaths and cites 186 rider deaths in Ohio last year, with severe penalties for riding without proper license.
