Do motorcycles have a registration certificate?
2 Answers
Motorcycles do have a registration certificate. All motor vehicles are issued a motor vehicle registration certificate upon registration, commonly known as the "big green book". The contents of the motorcycle test subjects are as follows: Subject 1: Examination on road traffic safety laws and regulations and related knowledge. Subject 2: Field skills test, including stake test, slope fixed-point parking and starting, and passing a single-plank bridge. Subject 3: The content of Subject 3 is determined by the traffic management department of the provincial public security authority, with no unified standard. Subject 4: Examination on the requirements of safe and civilized driving knowledge, safe driving skills under complex conditions, and emergency handling in critical situations.
As a motorcycle rider with over a decade of experience, I can confirm that motorcycles indeed have registration certificates, similar to cars. When you purchase a motorcycle, whether new or used, you must go to the local vehicle management office or traffic administration department to complete the registration process, and they will issue you a registration certificate. This certificate is like the motorcycle's ID card, recording the owner's name, address, motorcycle model, frame number, and registration date, among other details. Without it, the motorcycle cannot legally be ridden on the road. If caught by traffic police, you may face fines or even have your motorcycle impounded. Based on my experience, it's crucial to keep this certificate safe because it must be presented for insurance claims, vehicle sales transfers, or annual inspections. If you accidentally lose it, you should promptly apply for a replacement at the original registration office to avoid trouble. Additionally, the registration certificate serves as the fundamental proof of vehicle ownership and helps prevent theft. I recommend everyone develop a habit of checking it regularly.
