Can I switch to a motorcycle license halfway through the C1 test?
2 Answers
C1 test cannot be changed to a motorcycle license halfway. Because the test items for a motor vehicle driver's license and a motorcycle driver's license are completely different, they cannot be converted. You can apply for a motorcycle driver's license after obtaining the C1 motor vehicle driver's license. The C1 test subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. C1 driver's license test passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) - Written test, full score is 100, 90 or above is passing. Field driving (Subject 2) - On-site, actual vehicle. The minimum requirement is 80 points, below 80 is failing. Road driving (Subject 3) - Highway or simulated site, actual vehicle. Full score is 100, must achieve 90 or above to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge - Written test, questions mainly in the form of cases, pictures, animations, etc., question types include true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice, a total of 50 questions, full score is 100, 90 is passing.
I've been working on getting my driver's license recently and have thought about similar things. Wanting to switch from a C1 license to a motorcycle license halfway through? That's not really possible. The driver's license examination system is separated by categories, and once you start an exam for one category, you can't just switch midway. For example, if you've passed part of the theory test and now want to directly change to a D or E license (for motorcycles), the rules and regulations don't allow it. Either you have to give up your current C1 application and submit a new one for the motorcycle test, or you stick with completing all the C1 tests first. The latter approach is more hassle-free—after getting your C1 license, you can then go for the motorcycle license, making the process smoother and saving you from wasting money. Don't rush; take it step by step. After all, each category has different requirements, and switching midway can easily lead to mistakes, affecting both your learning and safety. It’s more reliable to finish one before starting another—worth your time and money.
