Do Motorcycle Violations Deduct Points from a Car Driver's License?
2 Answers
If you hold both a motorcycle license and a car driver's license, violations committed while riding a motorcycle will only deduct points from the motorcycle license and will not affect the car driver's license. Below are some precautions for motorcycle riding: Break-in Period: During the break-in period, the riding RPM should not exceed 50% of the RPM at maximum power, and the maximum RPM should not exceed 75% of that. After Break-in Period: The maximum riding RPM should not exceed 75% of the RPM at maximum power, as exceeding this limit may cause unnecessary malfunctions in the motorcycle. Gear Usage: Taking a common 125CC motorcycle as an example. First gear is only used for low-speed starts or climbing very steep slopes. Immediately after starting, shift into second gear. Second gear is generally suitable for speeds between 10-20, third gear for 20-40, and fourth gear for 30-50. Typically, speeds above 40 can be driven in fifth gear.
I previously ran a red light on my motorcycle and was caught by traffic police. To my dismay, I found that 9 points were directly deducted from my C1 car driving license. It turns out that our driving license points are shared—whether you're riding a motorcycle or driving a car, the points are recorded on the same license. If you only have a car license and ride a motorcycle without obtaining a motorcycle license, it counts as driving a vehicle beyond your permitted class. Not only will you get 9 points deducted, but you'll also face fines and even have your vehicle impounded. So, it's best to get a D or E license—that way, riding a motorcycle is legal. If you lose all your points, you'll have to retake the written test (Subject 1). Plus, insurance won't cover accidents if you're riding illegally. You really need to be careful.
