To get the required motorcycle or scooter liability insurance, you must first have a valid license or a learner's permit plus a passed approved education course. If you have a learner's permit, you can get a temporary binder for up to 90 days by showing proof of enrollment, but it can be canceled if you don't finish and pass the course.
