Holding a C2 driver's license absolutely does not permit you to ride a motorcycle on the road—these are completely different matters. A C2 license only authorizes you to operate small automatic transmission cars, while motorcycles require a separate license, typically type D or E. License categories are strictly regulated because driving a car and riding a motorcycle involve vastly different skills: motorcycles demand strong balance and agile handling, and without proper training, accidents are likely. If you're interested in motorcycles, I recommend enrolling in a driving school to obtain a motorcycle license; a few days of theoretical and practical training will qualify you for legal riding. Don’t try to cut corners—if caught by traffic police, you could face fines, demerit points, or even jeopardize your existing license. Safety is paramount: riding a motorcycle carries higher risks, and without a proper license, insurance won’t cover accidents, leaving you fully liable. Just because you’re used to driving a car doesn’t mean you can casually hop on a motorcycle—following the rules is the only right way.
