2 Del. Admin. Code § 2219-2.0

Current through Register Vol. 27, No. 12, June 1, 2024

Section 2219-2.0 - Department of Transportation, Division of Motor Vehicles

2.1 In the interest of providing excellent customer service, promoting a safe driving environment, and protecting consumer interests, the Department hereby allows providers of instructional services to conduct motorcycle rider education courses once they meet the requirements of this document and pay the appropriate fees. This promotes excellent customer service by enhancing the Department's ability to meet public demand for motorcycle safety training. By authorizing and working with independent training centers to deliver motorcycle safety training, the Department is promoting a safe driving environment by adding to the number of riders with heightened knowledge and skills. This also protects the consumer's interests by ensuring that the training opportunity at independent centers maintains the same high level of quality that is found in State sponsored courses.

2.2 The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will provide Chief Instructors / RiderCoach Trainers or Certified Drivers License Examiners to monitor independent motorcycle safety training center's program and to conduct end-of-course testing when feasible. Budget constraints and staff levels may require the students to be given a knowledge and riding skill test at a DMV location. However, when possible, all tests will be conducted at the Provider's location when the class graduates.

2.3 DMV will provide the following positions with listed responsibilities:

2.3.1 Coordinator of the Delaware Motorcycle Safety Program:

. Oversee the application of, and adherence to, these requirements.

. Serve as the main DMV point of contact for independent centers.

. Evaluate all Program applications.

. Monitor all provider programs to ensure they met Division requirements.

. Provide Motorcycle Operator Manuals.

2.3.2 Chief Instructors / RiderCoach Trainers or Certified Driver's License Examiners:

. Before monitoring and conducting end-of-course testing, ensure that students have completed all classes and exercises required under the Department's approved curriculum.

. Administer the end-of-course written knowledge test and record results at the training location unless budget or staff limitation prevent on-site testing.

. Conduct the end-of-course riding skill test and record results.

. Issue completion certificates to students who have successfully completed their coursework and passed both the end-of-course written knowledge and riding skill tests.
