What happens if a beginner's permit holder fails the motorcycle skills test three times?

If a beginner's permit holder fails the motorcycle skills test three times, they are required to complete an SCDMV-authorized motorcycle safety course before they can retake the test. This requirement is in place to ensure that the individual has received proper instruction and training, enhancing their understanding of safe riding practices and skills essential for operating a motorcycle. The safety course includes hands-on training and valuable information that ultimately prepares the rider to be more competent and confident on the road. Completing this course is an important step in ensuring safety for both the rider and others on the road.

The other options suggest either immediate retakes, automatic licensure, or a wait period without any prerequisite training, which do not align with the objective of ensuring the rider is sufficiently prepared to pass the skills test and operate a motorcycle safely.
