Which endorsement allows you to legally operate a motorcycle in Connecticut?

The 'M' endorsement is specifically designated for motorcycle operation in Connecticut. In order to legally ride a motorcycle, a rider must have this particular endorsement added to their driver's license. This endorsement demonstrates that the operator has met the state's requirements for motorcycle training and safety, which typically includes knowledge of motorcycle laws, proper handling, and an awareness of safe riding practices.

Having the 'M' endorsement also serves as a clear indication to law enforcement and other road users that the operator is qualified to operate a motorcycle, promoting safety on the roads. Other endorsements listed, such as A2, S, or D, do not pertain to motorcycle operation and therefore do not provide the legal authority to ride a motorcycle in the state. Each endorsement typically corresponds to different types of vehicles or specific driving privileges, emphasizing the importance of having the correct endorsement for the type of vehicle being operated.
