C2 license does not permit riding a motorcycle. Below is additional information: Types of vehicles that can be driven with different licenses: C1 driver's license allows driving small cars, mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles and specialized operation vehicles; C3 driver's license permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles; C4 driver's license allows driving three-wheeled vehicles. C2 driver's license does not permit driving large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, or trams.
Yes, I understand that. A C2 license is specifically for driving small automatic transmission cars and does not include riding motorcycles. To legally ride a motorcycle, you need to obtain a separate D or E license. If you're caught riding a motorcycle with a C2 license, not only will you face fines and points deducted, but your insurance won't cover any accidents, which is extremely risky. I once knew a friend who rode recklessly and ended up getting injured, plus had to pay 5,000 yuan to handle the traffic violation. Safety-wise, motorcycles require a completely different sense of balance, and skills like turning and braking need dedicated practice. I recommend directly enrolling in a motorcycle training course at a driving school. With just a few days of learning, you can grasp the basics, and riding with a proper license afterward will give you much more peace of mind. These regulations are in place to protect everyone, so don't take unnecessary risks just to save some trouble.
