Can motorcycle penalty points be deducted from a C1 license?

[MaciDella]

No. Motorcycles require an E-class license, while cars require a C1 license. When handling traffic violations, they cannot be used interchangeably or processed together. The correct license must be used. Motorcycle penalty point standards: 1. Failure to wear a safety helmet as required: When driving a motorcycle, if the driver or passenger fails to wear a safety helmet as required, 2 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 2. Running a red light: If a motor vehicle fails to comply with traffic signal regulations (running a red light), 3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 3. Driving in the opposite direction: If a motor vehicle is driven in the opposite direction, 3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed. 4. Violating prohibition signs: If a motor vehicle violates prohibition sign instructions, 3 points will be deducted and a fine of 200 yuan will be imposed.

I've been driving cars and riding motorcycles for many years, and every demerit point from traffic violations is no joke. No matter what vehicle you're operating, the points are deducted from the same person's license. For example, last year I ran a red light on my motorcycle and was penalized 6 points. When I checked my C1 driving license later, I found the points had decreased. If the accumulated points reach 12, I'd have to attend a study session and take a test, which is quite troublesome. This system is designed fairly—the driving license serves as proof of identity, and safe driving is what matters most. Now I frequently check my points using a mobile app, worried that any mishap might affect my license renewal. Being too careless while riding a motorcycle isn't just dangerous; losing points could also jeopardize my driving privileges. Don't underestimate minor mistakes—they can add up to bigger problems. You've got to stay vigilant every time you hit the road.

I just got my C1 driver's license less than half a year ago. Initially, I thought riding a motorcycle would give me more freedom, but I got nervous when I heard that penalty points would be deducted from my car driving points. After consulting a traffic management friend, I learned that all violation records are stored in the driver's license point system, regardless of whether you're riding a two-wheeler or driving a four-wheeler. If you break traffic rules on a motorcycle and get caught, the points will be directly added to your license, and exceeding 12 points would be disastrous. As a newbie, I now ride very carefully, afraid that any mistake might affect my driving test results. I usually download traffic apps to check my point changes, reminding myself to stay alert. Wearing a helmet while riding is basic; don't follow those who rush through yellow lights—safety first. Driver's license points are shared, so carelessness is not an option. Earning points is hard, but losing them can ruin everything.

Don't think that getting points on a motorcycle has nothing to do with your car driving. The points system is tied to an individual, meaning one driver's license covers all vehicle types. For example, last time I got 3 points for speeding on a motorcycle, and later I was penalized again for a car violation. The total points almost added up to 12, nearly forcing me to retake the driving course. This system is designed to keep drivers in line, whether they're on two wheels or four. Regularly check your points status using online tools to avoid last-minute hassles. Safe driving not only benefits you but also saves on insurance or license renewal fees—killing multiple birds with one stone. Following traffic light rules is simple yet effective.
