3. Age Requirement: The out-of-state permit holder must be at least 16 years old to operate a motorcycle in Connecticut.

4. Helmet Law: Connecticut has a universal helmet law, which means that all motorcycle operators and passengers, regardless of age or experience, must wear a DOT-approved helmet.

5. Insurance Requirement: The out-of-state permit holder must have motorcycle insurance that meets Connecticut's minimum liability coverage requirements.

6. Display of Insurance: The out-of-state permit holder must carry proof of insurance while operating a motorcycle in Connecticut.

7. Riding Restrictions: Out-of-state permit holders are subject to the same riding restrictions and regulations as Connecticut permit holders, including restrictions on passengers, operating hours, and speed limits.
