Upon making an application for his first bicycle license and license plates, the applicant may be required to be examined by an examining officer designated by the chief of police. The chief of police may further designate the manner of examination. Upon completion of the examination, the chief of police may refuse to issue a license to the applicant if the examination discloses to the chief of police that the applicant does not have a reasonable knowledge of the provisions of this chapter, the provisions of Section 452 of the Vehicle Code of the state, or that the applicant is unable to exercise reasonable control in operating a bicycle. (Ord. 475 NCS §5; prior code §6.8.)
