Why the department of licensing considers our driver license and our motorcycle endorsment as two seperete "accounts", thus we pay $25 to renew the driver license and another $25 to renew the motorcycle endorsment.
When it comes to check our driving record it's considered as one "account", thus the insurance companies raises the insurance premium as high as possible considering all the tickets received regardless if we were driving a car or bike.

I think paying an extra $25 to renew the motorcycle endorsment is bunch of bull since it's considered as One "account"

They are two separate classifications. The same would go for a commercial linense.

The extra $25 you pay for helps subsidize MSF courses for WA residents.

Why don't you take a copy of your receipt to the insurance agent and say its two different licenses so don't charge me twice for my insurances. I believe that is how my insurance is setup. All my tickets in my car don't count on the old bike, the only thing is I'm a young punk and that counts more then tickets.

I have my motorcycle endorsement, my regular license and a commercial drivers license. In order to renew my license now it will cost me $75 bucks. Regardless of what vehicle I am driving, if I recieve a ticket for a moving violation it goes against all three licenses.

I would agree with you that it is a little ridiculous that all tickets apply to each separate endorsement, but that is the great country that we live in. The land of the free?? Maybe in 1850.
