Can I take the driver's license and motorcycle license tests together?
3 Answers
No. Those who have obtained one type of driver's license (such as a motorcycle license) can only take other types of driver's license tests (e.g., car driver's license) after one year. When registering for and taking the additional license test, applicants must bring their ID card and the previously obtained driver's license. Those who pass the test will be eligible for the additional license. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: License issuance period: If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of their motor vehicle driver's license, they can renew it for a ten-year validity period. If they continue to have no 12-point accumulations in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, they can renew it for a long-term valid motor vehicle driver's license. Test content: The examination subjects include three items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Each subject requires prior appointment before taking the test (special circumstances may be scheduled through the green channel for driving tests), and the test is taken after the appointment.
I just got my driver's license too, and I really wanted to get my motorcycle license at the same time, but found out that the policy doesn’t allow applying for both together. Traffic regulations require you to first obtain one type of license before you can add another. I understand this is mainly because there could be conflicts in exam schedules and practice arrangements, such as overlapping test times for the written exam or limited availability at training grounds. Additionally, many places now use online exam booking systems that automatically schedule tests, meaning you can only participate in one type of license exam process at a time. My advice is to focus on completing one license first and then apply for the motorcycle endorsement—this saves energy and complies with the rules.
This question is frequently asked by students when enrolling in driving schools. From a practical standpoint, a car driver's license and a motorcycle license cannot be applied for simultaneously. Each driving test process requires students to invest significant effort in learning theory and practicing driving, and the system also locks the student's identity information for unified exam scheduling. Therefore, even if you want to prepare for both licenses at the same time, it is technically not feasible. You can apply for the motorcycle license one year after obtaining the car driver's license. My suggestion is to complete them in stages and not put too much pressure on yourself.
