Can a C1 license holder drive a two-wheeled electric vehicle?
1 Answers
C1 driver's license is a license for driving cars and cannot be used to operate two-wheeled electric vehicles (except for non-motorized vehicles). To drive a two-wheeled electric motorcycle, one must obtain a motorcycle license (D, E, or F), as these two licenses are designated for different types of vehicles. If caught driving a two-wheeled electric motorcycle with a C1 license, the penalty for driving a vehicle type not covered by the license is 12 demerit points and a fine of 200 yuan. The vehicle types permitted under a C1 license include: small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Process for obtaining a motorcycle driver's license: Registration: Bring your original valid ID card, a copy of both sides, and four one-inch passport photos to the motorcycle license window of the city traffic bureau. Fill out the application form for a motorcycle license, pay the fee, undergo a physical examination, and submit the completed form, medical report, photos, and ID copies. Wait for the first subject test. Subject 1 Test: Approximately one week after registration, take the Subject 1 test. Prepare by visiting online 'driver's license test' websites with specific motorcycle questions. At the test center, fill out forms, pay fees, and wait for the test. The test consists of 50 questions, each worth 2 points, with a 45-minute time limit. A score of 90 (allowing up to 5 mistakes) is required to pass. Retests can be scheduled if failed. Subject 2 Test: This involves a motorcycle slalom test around poles spaced about three meters apart. The test requires navigating an S-course without crossing boundary lines or touching the ground with feet. After passing, sign the score sheet and wait for the Subject 3 test. Subject 3 Test: This test covers recognizing road signs, traffic police hand signals, and handling various driving scenarios on a motorcycle. Results are given immediately, and upon passing, sign the score sheet and wait for the oath-taking ceremony. Oath-Taking: The final step involves pledging to abide by traffic laws and drive responsibly. After signing, wait to collect the license the next day.
