Can I take the car driving test right after passing the motorcycle license test?

You can take the car driving test right after passing the motorcycle license test. Introduction to motorcycle license: Applicants for light motorcycle models must be between 18 and 70 years old; applicants for ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles must be between 18 and 60 years old. First-time applicants or those applying to upgrade their motorcycle license should go to the traffic police brigade in their registered residence and submit their identity documents. How to obtain a car driving license: Bring the original and photocopy of your ID card to the driving school registration point to register and wait for the theoretical study schedule. Non-local students need a temporary residence permit, which can be handled by the driving school. Students with other driving licenses need to bring the original license (for upgrading). To learn to drive large trucks, you must be a local resident and at least 21 years old.
I've specialized in studying driving license regulations. It's absolutely legal to take the car driving test right after obtaining your motorcycle license - this is what we call license upgrading. However, you should pay attention to your probation period. There's a one-year probation period after getting your motorcycle license, but this doesn't restrict you from taking the car driving test. I recommend checking your local DMV's specific requirements first, as some regions mandate at least one week between the two tests. Physical conditions must also meet stricter standards, especially for vision tests which are more rigorous than motorcycle license requirements. Don't forget to prepare your documents - both ID card and original motorcycle license are required. The registration process isn't actually difficult. I personally took my car test three months after getting my motorcycle license, and now I'm driving an SUV everywhere.
I signed up for a car driver's license the day after passing my motorcycle test, no problem at all. The driving school front desk directly told me that upgrading licenses is very common, as long as the motorcycle license status is normal. However, I had to redo the medical checkup and take the written test (subject one) because the question banks are different. What I remember most is the instructor saying there are big differences between driving cars and riding motorcycles - like judging vehicle distances requires more attention in cars. Cost-wise it was slightly cheaper than taking the car test separately, and I could skip the basic parts in subject two's field practice. Back then I'd practice motorcycles in the morning and cars in the afternoon - got both licenses done in one month. Now having both licenses feels super convenient.
