Complete·5/15/25

Tennessee HB1378 mandates written driver exams to include questions on bicycle hand signals for turning, slowing, and stopping.

Tennessee HB1378 amends the state's driver license examination requirements by adding questions about bicycle hand signals. These signals are used by cyclists to communicate their intentions to turn, slow down, or stop. The Department of Safety must ensure the driver manual contains adequate information on these hand signals, enabling applicants to answer the questions correctly. This change takes effect on January 1, 2026.
