I have had since my driving licence since 1988 or do I have to take some sort of scooter driving test?
Study the motorcycle handbook on the DMV website for your state to prepare for the motorcycle written test.
Inquire where the skills test course is and practice before your appointment . . example:

If you desire to purchase some cones, soccer field cones at Wal-Mart are cheap.
Don't forget to budget for proper riding gear . . this is why.

If your scooter can go over 35 miles an hour, you will need a motorcycle endorsement. Call your local DMV to find out about the test you will need to take.

Any scooter over 50cc you need a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. However, here in NC at least, you can get a motorcycle permit that's good for 18 months and renewable once (I think). That's how I got started. A few months later I took the written test, then the riding test. I failed the latter because I couldn't follow what they were telling me to do around the cones. Later I took a motorcycle safety course (a long weekend) and it was worth every penny. Not only did it pick up handling skills I'll uses forever, passing the course enables you to skip the riding test at the DMV and get your endorsement. Also usually good for an insurance discount. I ride a 150 cc scoot.

In most states, you will need a motorcycle license for a 125cc scooter.
