You need to know if you can get the road test waived?
Yes. I don't want to go through a motorcycle road test again. I already own a motorcycle license.
We can waive the test if you are qualified and you complete an approved course.
Do you want more information?
Yes, I'd like to get more information.

One more question: you mentioned that accelerating smoothly and moderately was important, but what if my test requires me to drive on a highway? I won't be able to drive slowly because all the cars will be honking at me.
Don't worry about that! When you are taking the driving test, your headlights will be on so everyone know you are in a test, also the car we use is a special car and has a logo. So it's ok, just stick to a smoothly and moderately acceleration, and don't force the engine so it does not stall.
BTW, I want to remain in New York for a few months and would like to become a New York resident. Will I be able to swap my out-of-state motorcycle license for a New York one in that case?
Yes, when you become a NY resident, you can exchange your license for a NY license.
What about the license exchange for a New York license? Do you need to carry your learner's permit, which includes your photo?
