Can a C2 license holder ride a motorcycle?
1 Answers
C2 license holders are not permitted to ride motorcycles. A motorcycle license is required to operate a motorcycle. Holders of a C2 driver's license can drive small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Similar to a C1 license, it only allows driving automatic transmission vehicles with no more than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters. In simple terms, a C2 license only permits driving small automatic transmission vehicles and does not cover any other vehicle types. Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles. According to regulations, operating a motor vehicle requires a valid driver's license (motorcycle license). Otherwise, it will be considered unlicensed driving, which may result in a fine of 200-2000 yuan, vehicle seizure, and full liability in the event of a traffic accident. Motorcycle licenses are categorized into D, E, and F licenses, covering two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles. In addition to directly applying for an initial two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle license, one can also apply for an additional two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycle endorsement. Depending on the motorcycle's engine displacement, different types of licenses are required, as follows: D license: Ordinary three-wheeled motorcycle, covering vehicles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. E license: Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle, covering vehicles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. F license: Light motorcycle.
