Can I apply for a car driver's license if my motorcycle license has been deducted 12 points?

You can still apply for a car driver's license even if your motorcycle license has been deducted 12 points, because motorcycle and car driver's licenses do not conflict with each other. A motorcycle license is for motorcycles, and a car driver's license is for cars. They are separate licenses and do not interfere with each other. Therefore, you can still apply for a car driver's license after your motorcycle license points have been deducted. Introduction: A driver's license, fully known as a motor vehicle driver's license, also referred to as a "driving license," is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Notes: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. People lacking these skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive without proper training. Generally, individuals cannot drive on public roads without a valid license.
Let me talk about the issue of getting 12 penalty points on a motorcycle license. With more driving experience, you'll know that accumulating 12 points means your license gets suspended. You must attend traffic management department courses and retake the theory test (Subject 1) to reinstate it. At this point, trying to directly apply for a Category C car license usually won't work because the traffic management system checks your driving record during registration. If you have unresolved penalty points or a suspended status, you'll likely be denied registration. From a safety perspective, 12 penalty points indicate problematic driving habits, and hastily applying for a new license could increase risks. It's advisable to first resolve the motorcycle penalty points—complete the required courses and tests—before applying for the car license test. The entire process could take anywhere from one or two weeks to a month. Don't rush to get everything done at once; handling it properly will help you avoid bigger troubles.
Hey buddy, I know a friend whose motorcycle license got 12 points deducted and he still wanted to apply for a car driver's license. But when he went to sign up, he was directly rejected. The instructor said he must first clear the deducted points—by attending a seven-day theoretical course at the traffic department and retaking the motorcycle exam, then wait for his license to return to normal before applying for the car test. For safety reasons, this design is to prevent problematic drivers from switching vehicle types and causing accidents. I think managing the current license properly is key. If the violation record isn't cleared, the new license application will definitely get stuck. Taking some time to fix the issue before moving forward is both compliant and reliable.
Simply put, you cannot immediately apply for a car driver's license after your motorcycle license has been deducted 12 points. A deduction of 12 points locks your license, requiring you to participate in a retraining program and retake the test to restore it. The car license examination checks for any unresolved violations, so if you currently have a full-point deduction status, you won't be allowed to apply. For safety, it's advised to correct your behavior first, resolve the motorcycle issues, and then apply for the car license test.
