Can You Ride a Motorcycle with a Car Driver's License?

[MacJasmine]

You cannot ride a motorcycle with a car driver's license. Holding any type of car driver's license does not permit you to operate a motorcycle, as none of the permitted vehicle types under a car driver's license include motorcycles. Motorcycle license requirements: The licenses required to ride a motorcycle are D, E, and F licenses. A D license allows you to ride all two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles, an E license permits riding all two-wheeled motorcycles, and an F license only allows riding lightweight motorcycles with an engine displacement below 50CC. If you ride a motorcycle with a car driver's license, it constitutes driving a vehicle type not permitted by your license and is considered unlicensed driving. Penalties may be imposed according to the regulations for driving a motor vehicle without a proper license, though they may be appropriately mitigated. Requirements for obtaining a motorcycle license: Article 14 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" states that if you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to add a permitted vehicle type, you must not have a full-point record in the most recent scoring cycle before applying. In temporary residence areas, the additional permitted vehicle types you can apply for include small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles. Article 43 of the same regulations specifies that the cumulative scoring cycle for road traffic safety violations (i.e., the scoring cycle) is 12 months, with a maximum of 12 points, calculated from the date the motor vehicle driver's license was first issued. According to the regulations, you must wait one year after obtaining a car driver's license (and must not have a full-point record in the most recent scoring cycle before applying) before you can apply to add a motorcycle license.
