You can buy a motorcycle without a driver's license, as there is no regulation prohibiting the purchase of a vehicle without one. However, you should not ride it on the road until you obtain a motorcycle license and register the vehicle. Driving without a license or riding an unregistered motorcycle on the road will result in fines. Below is additional information: Car license: If you already have a motorcycle license, you must wait until the probationary period of the motorcycle license is over and there are no demerit points recorded before you can apply for a car license. Motorcycle license: If you already have a car license and wish to obtain a motorcycle license, the probationary period of the car license must be over, and there should be no record of full demerit points in the previous and current scoring cycles before applying for the additional license. Once you pass all the motorcycle license tests, the vehicle management office will revoke your original license and issue a new one that includes the combined permitted vehicle types.
Yes, you can buy a motorcycle without a driver's license, as purchasing the vehicle itself doesn't require you to have one. It's somewhat like buying a bicycle – as long as you have the money, the dealer will sell it to you, regardless of whether you can ride it or not. I've seen many friends impulsively buy new motorcycles, only to keep them as decorations at home until they obtain their licenses. In terms of procedures, you'll need to provide basic documents like your ID card and proof of address for registration when purchasing, but no one checks for a license. The important thing to remember is that you can't just ride it out after buying; if caught driving without a license, you could face hefty fines, even confiscation of the vehicle, and might cause accidents harming yourself or others. If you're serious about riding, it's advisable to take the time to get a motorcycle license first – it's safer, legal, and allows you to truly enjoy the joy of riding.
