Once you have your learner’s permit, you can start learning to drive a LAMS approved motorcycle.
Rules for learning to ride a motorcycle
When learning to ride a motorcycle you must always:
- ride with an approved supervisor – either as a pillion passenger, in a sidecar or on another motorcycle
- display L plates on the front and back of the vehicle when you are driving.
- only ride a LAMS approved motorcycle
- wear an approved helmet
- not have a blood alcohol concentration exceeding 0.00%
- not ride in areas where learners are not permitted, such as Kings Park.
Demerit points
Demerit points apply to learner drivers. If you accrue 4 demerit points your learner licence will be suspended or disqualified.
Log your supervised driving hours
You will need to record at least 50 supervised riding hours in your DoT issued learner log book, or the digital version, Learn&Log, before you can take your practical driving assessment (PDA).
5 of your 50 supervised riding hours need to be completed at night between sunset and sunrise.
"Learner log book" means a hard copy book issued by the Department which is purchased from a Driver and Vehicle Services Centre.
“Learn&Log ” is a digital version of the learner log book that is available for use via the ServiceWA app.
If you hold a C Class licence or higher
You do not need to log any hours before taking your PDA.
