Any time you’re operating any kind of vehicle, sharp eyesight is important. When you’re riding a motorcycle, it’s even more important. If you want to be able to ride safely, you’ll need good eyesight.
One of the most common causes of a motorcycle accident is when a rider is not able to clearly see the road. If you don’t have good vision and can’t pass your vision test, you’ll not be able to get your motorcycle license in the state of Illinois.
Given the importance of good eyesight when riding, it shouldn’t surprise you to learn that you’ll need to pass an eye exam to get your license. The good news is that if you are over 18 and already possess an Illinois driver’s license, you won’t need to take an eye exam. But, if you’re under 18 and want to obtain your license, you’ll have to take an eye exam.
