Do Motorcycle Violations Deduct Points from a Car Driver's License?

[Tanner]

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.

Last time I rode my motorcycle in the city and accidentally used the motor vehicle lane, got caught by an electronic eye, and had 3 points deducted from my car driver's license. Points deducted for motorcycle violations are the same as for cars, all deducted from the total 12-point limit. According to traffic regulations, riding a motorcycle with a C1 driver's license is considered a mismatch of the permitted vehicle type, and getting caught once costs 9 points, which is harsher than running a red light. I specifically checked, and this rule exists because motorcycle accident rates are more than 30% higher than cars, so strict control is necessary. Remember to wear a helmet and don't speed—12 points can't withstand many violations, especially for delivery riders racing against the clock.

My cousin was caught drunk driving on a motorcycle last year, resulting in all 12 points being deducted from his car driver's license on the spot. The traffic police immediately educated him that motorcycle violations also deduct points from the car license, as the points are tied to the driver personally. Riding a motorcycle without a proper motorcycle license is directly treated as unlicensed driving. When riding a motorcycle normally, be careful not to change lanes recklessly or cut in line, as these actions can be captured by cameras and result in point deductions. Especially now that urban electronic surveillance systems have been upgraded, motorcycle violations are almost impossible to escape. Safe driving is the most practical approach, as losing all points means spending three months retaking the theory test (Subject One).

I remember when I was riding my motorcycle to work, I got caught turning at an intersection by crossing the solid line. The traffic police deducted 2 points from my C1 license. All motorcycle violations are deducted from the car driving license points. If the points are insufficient, the car will also have to be stopped. A special reminder to young friends: riding a motorcycle without a motorcycle license will result in a 9-point deduction plus a fine, which could make you retake the driving test in no time. I make it a habit to check my helmet and taillight before each trip and avoid bus lanes, which is both safe and helps reduce point deductions. Motorcycles are quite convenient in city traffic jams, but it's important to distinguish lanes and avoid violations.

My neighbor back home, an uncle who sells fruits using a three-wheeled motorcycle, was penalized for driving a vehicle beyond his license class. His C1 license was directly deducted 9 points. Motorcycle violations deduct points from this license because all license types share the same 12-point limit. I advise everyone to always carry their motorcycle license when riding. If caught driving without a license, your vehicle could be impounded. Daily precautions include avoiding reverse driving on one-way streets and not rushing through yellow lights—these are clearly visible on surveillance cameras. Nowadays, even rural towns have installed electronic eyes, so don’t assume you can violate traffic rules in remote areas. Safe riding not only preserves your points but also your life.
