Can I take the car driving test immediately after obtaining a motorcycle license?

No, you cannot. You must hold the motorcycle driving license for at least one year and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle before applying for the car driving test. A driving license, also known as a driver's license, is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Below is relevant information about driving licenses: Introduction to driving licenses: The full name of a driving license is a motor vehicle driving license, also referred to as a 'driver's license,' which is the legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Classification of driving licenses: The current driving licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1 driving license, A2 driving license, A3 driving license, B1 driving license, B2 driving license, C1 driving license, C2 driving license, C3 driving license, C4 driving license, C5 driving license, D driving license, E driving license, F driving license, M driving license, N driving license, P driving license.
Right after I got my motorcycle license, I also wondered if I could immediately take the car driving test. After asking around, I found out that according to regulations, I had to wait until the one-year probation period was over. This is because you can't add additional permitted vehicle types during the probation period of a driver's license, and you must not accumulate 12 penalty points in the most recent year. This rule is mainly for safety considerations, allowing new drivers to first become familiar with operating one type of vehicle. During my probation period, I commuted by motorcycle, trying to drive as standardly as possible to avoid penalty points. A year later, I smoothly enrolled in a driving school to learn car driving. I suggest you first get proficient with your current motorcycle before considering the next step.
