Can I take the motorcycle license test right after getting my car driver's license?
2 Answers
No, you cannot immediately take the motorcycle license test after obtaining your car driver's license. You need to wait until you have not accumulated 12 penalty points within one scoring cycle before you can apply for the additional motorcycle license. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license." It is a certificate required by law for individuals to operate motor vehicles. Classification: The current driver's licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1 license, A2 license, A3 license, B1 license, B2 license, C1 license, C2 license, C3 license, C4 license, C5 license, D license, E license, F license, M license, N license, P license.
I just got my car driver's license not long ago and I'm super excited. Whenever I see someone riding a motorcycle, I immediately want to go get one too. After checking, I found out that usually you can't take the motorcycle license test right away—you have to wait a bit. For example, in China, if you have a C1 license, you need to hold it for at least one year before you can apply for an additional motorcycle license, such as a Class D or E. This is because regulations require a certain amount of driving experience to avoid accidents caused by beginners learning too many skills at once. Motorcycles and cars operate quite differently. Cars mainly rely on the steering wheel and pedals, while motorcycles require body balance and coordination of hands and feet. Sharp turns or sudden braking can easily lead to loss of control and crashes, making them more dangerous. I think I can drive a car for a few months first, get used to road conditions, weather changes, and traffic rules, and then sign up for the motorcycle test once I'm more familiar. The test includes theoretical knowledge and practical riding exercises, and you’ll also need to find a driving school for training. Although I’m a bit impatient, safety comes first, so waiting is a good idea.
