I've been living in Dongguan since 2010, and it's true that you can get a motorcycle license here, but you need to pay attention to the management of motorcycle-restricted zones. You'll need to register at the traffic police station or vehicle management office first, bringing your ID card, medical examination report, and photos. The cost is around a thousand yuan, including both the theory test and practical test. The theory test is computer-based, with a full score of 100 and a passing score of 90, covering traffic rules and safety. The practical test involves practicing slalom and braking at a designated training ground, and the instructors are quite responsible. After registration, it takes about a month to schedule the test, and the license is issued on the same day if you pass. However, many areas in Dongguan city have motorcycle restrictions, so after getting your license, it's best to check the map to avoid restricted zones and fines. Riding in the suburbs is quite convenient, suitable for commuting or weekend outings. During practice, ask the driving school instructors for advice and don't rush to ride on the road.
A buddy of mine recently got his motorcycle license in Dongguan, and the whole process took about two weeks. The first step was enrolling in a certified driving school, which cost a little over a thousand yuan, followed by preparing medical checkup materials and queuing for the exam. The theory part involved memorizing basic traffic regulations, and the test was multiple-choice. After passing, he practiced riding in an open area simulating traffic scenarios, with the instructor emphasizing safety points. Getting the license was quick, but Dongguan has many restrictions—motorcycles aren’t allowed on many downtown roads, so even with the license, he mostly rides in suburban areas, which is fuel-efficient and flexible. I’d suggest anyone interested check the local DMV website for policies first to avoid wasting money and time.
