What happens if a skills test is taken with a sidecar attached?

When a skills test is taken with a sidecar attached, a sidecar restriction is added to the license because the skills demonstrated during the test reflect the specific control and handling characteristics of a motorcycle that is equipped with a sidecar. This essentially means that the rider has not demonstrated proficiency on two-wheeled motorcycles, which have different handling and balance requirements compared to those with a sidecar.

As a result, the licensing authority issues a restriction that indicates the rider is authorized to operate motorcycles with a sidecar but not necessarily standard two-wheeled motorcycles. This ensures that riders are only permitted to operate the type of motorcycle for which they have demonstrated proper skills, enhancing safety for both the rider and other road users.
