Can a Car License and a Motorcycle License Be Taken at the Same Time?

[TeaganLee]

A car license and a motorcycle license cannot be taken at the same time. The exams for these two motor vehicle licenses cannot be applied for in the same year. You can only take one first, and only after the probationary period has passed and you have not accumulated 12 penalty points can you apply for another motor vehicle license. Here are the specific details: According to Article 15 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if you already hold a motor vehicle driving license and wish to apply for an additional permitted vehicle type, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying. Therefore, you must wait one year after obtaining either a motorcycle license or a car license before applying for the other, and you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current or most recent scoring cycle. According to Article 15 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," if you already hold a motor vehicle driving license and wish to apply for an additional permitted vehicle type, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying. For applications to add medium-sized buses, tractors, or large buses to the permitted vehicle types, the following additional requirements must be met: To apply for a medium-sized bus license, you must have held a city bus, large truck, small car, small automatic transmission car, low-speed cargo truck, or three-wheeled car license for at least three years and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the three most recent consecutive scoring cycles before applying. To apply for a tractor license, you must have held a medium-sized bus or large truck license for at least three years or a large bus license for at least one year and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the three most recent consecutive scoring cycles before applying. To apply for a large bus license, you must have held a city bus, medium-sized bus, or large truck license for at least five years or a tractor license for at least two years and must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the five most recent consecutive scoring cycles before applying.
