Can I Have Both a Motorcycle License and a Car License at the Same Time?
2 Answers
Yes. The licenses for driving motorcycles are D, E, and F licenses. A D license allows you to drive all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, an E license permits driving all two-wheeled motorcycles, and an F license only allows driving light motorcycles with an engine displacement below 50CC. If you drive a motorcycle with a car license, it is considered driving a vehicle that does not match the license type, which is equivalent to driving without a license. Additional information is as follows: The motor vehicle driving license records and notes the following content: motor vehicle driver information, including name, gender, date of birth, nationality, address, ID number (motor vehicle driving license number), and photo. Vehicle Management Office: initial license issuance date, permitted vehicle type code, validity period, issuing authority seal, and file number.
I've been driving cars for over a decade, and last year I also obtained my motorcycle license. Now I have both without any issues. The tests were conducted separately, requiring passing both the theoretical and road exams individually. For cars, the test included reverse parking and parallel parking, while for motorcycles, it involved slalom balance and straight-line acceleration. I spent two to three months practicing the motorcycle part on weekends. After obtaining the licenses, they were merged together, making management quite convenient. However, remember to distinguish between the types clearly—don't assume that having a car license means you can ride a motorcycle freely. There are many benefits: when traffic is congested in the city, riding a motorcycle allows you to zip through, saving both fuel and time; on weekends, you can use the car to take the family out, carrying more luggage safely and reliably. Safety is a major concern—always wear a helmet and protective gear when riding a motorcycle. Beginners are advised to practice and stabilize their riding skills before hitting the road, ensuring they can handle various situations and making life more flexible.
