Do I need to merge my motorcycle license when applying for a C1 license?

Yes, you need to merge your motorcycle license when applying for a C1 license. Since both motorcycles and cars are motor vehicles, each person can only have one driver's license, which makes management more convenient. If you only pass the motorcycle test or the car test, you will only have an independent license because the two tests are separate. However, once you pass both the motorcycle and car tests, the licenses must be merged in the form of an additional endorsement. There are reasons for merging motorcycle licenses and C1 licenses, mainly to remind people to drive carefully on the road. After merging the motorcycle license and the C license, penalty points will be accumulated directly. The merged license does not increase from the original 12 points to 24 points; it remains at 12 points. Even if you violate traffic rules while riding a motorcycle and get penalized, the C1 license will also be affected. There are many benefits to merging motorcycle and car licenses. For example, the annual inspection system for motorcycles has changed, eliminating the previous requirement of two inspections within four years. After merging the licenses, only one inspection is required after four years. If you are riding a newly registered motorcycle, you can also enjoy a six-year exemption from inspection.
