2 Answers
A D license can drive a two-wheeled motorcycle. Below are the specific details about the D license: Permitted Vehicle Types: A D driving license allows driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. Other permitted vehicle types under this license include E and F. Driving License Categories: In 2004, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Regulations on the Business of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," introducing a graded system for motor vehicle driving licenses. The licenses are divided into 15 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P.
I've been riding motorcycles for several years. After obtaining a Class D license, I can easily handle various two-wheeled motorcycles, including common street bikes and sports bikes. In China's driver's license system, the Class D license covers both regular two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycle types, so riding with a Class D license is completely legal. As an enthusiast, I recommend familiarizing yourself with the bike's condition before heading out, such as checking the brakes and lights, and maintaining a safe speed. Don't forget to wear a helmet—it's a legal requirement. In case of bad weather, it's best to pause your ride and ensure you're not fatigued. Regular practice of control skills can reduce accident risks. Additionally, the licensing process usually includes both theoretical and practical exams, and after passing, remember to regularly inspect and maintain your vehicle. In short, a Class D license is essential for motorcycle enthusiasts, but safety should always come first.
