Rules for Motorcyclists

If you have a learner's licence you may operate a powered motorcycle on public roads in Zimbabwe. However, you are not to carry passengers on auto-cycles or motorcycles. You must be over 16 years old to be allowed to sit for a learner's licence exam.

Your vehicle must be registered and licensed within the Traffic Regulations of the country.

Protective Clothing You MUST always wear a protective helmet with fasteners to hold it firmly in place. A helmet with a clear visor is advisable and always check that it is clean and unscratched. Strong boots, gloves and padded clothing may help to protect you if you are involved in a collision or fall.

When riding in the dark or weather with poor visibility, wear reflective clothing or strips to improve your visibility to other road users.
