Can I get a motorcycle license if I already have a motor vehicle license?

To ride a motorcycle, you must obtain a motorcycle license. A regular C1 driver's license does not permit motorcycle riding. Below is relevant information about whether you can get a motorcycle license after obtaining a driver's license: Applying for additional driving categories: You must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying. This means you can only apply for a D license upgrade one year after obtaining a C license. Subjects 1 and 4: The main test content is similar to the C license. You can study by downloading an app. The test consists of 50 questions to be completed within 30 minutes, with a passing score of 90.
I remember when I first got my car driver's license, I wanted to expand my skills and went for a motorcycle license. It was actually quite smooth. If you have a car license, you can directly apply for a motorcycle endorsement, but you'll need to take additional theory and practical tests. Don't think that being good at driving means you can be careless—riding a motorcycle requires better balance and alertness. I spent over ten days at the driving school, with the written test focusing on traffic rules and motorcycle safety knowledge, and the road test including starting, stopping, and emergency avoidance. The whole process cost me around a thousand bucks, which isn't too expensive. I recommend getting a health check-up early to ensure you're fit, don't procrastinate, enjoy the freedom of riding a motorcycle but don't ignore the risks, and maintain your bike regularly to extend its lifespan.
