Do motorcycles have a vehicle license?
2 Answers
Motorcycles do have a vehicle license. For a motorcycle to legally operate on the road, two documents must be carried in full. The driver's license is a document that proves the rider's qualification to operate the vehicle, while the vehicle license is a document that certifies the motorcycle's legal right to be on the road. Therefore, both are indispensable. Riding without a driver's license and a vehicle license is a very serious violation of the law. The vehicle license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to operate on roads within China, consisting of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the endorsed certificate core, the back has the vehicle's photo, and the supplementary page includes the endorsed certificate core. The vehicle license is issued by the Vehicle Management Center and is used to verify the authenticity of the vehicle's information.
Yes, motorcycles absolutely have a vehicle license, which is an essential document for every legally operated bike. As a seasoned rider with years of experience, I can tell you that the vehicle license is like the ID card of a motorcycle, displaying information such as the license plate number, owner details, and engine specifications. When purchasing a new bike, you must register it at the vehicle management office, bringing along the purchase invoice and compulsory insurance policy. After inspection and photo-taking by the staff, they will issue the license to you. Riding without a vehicle license is not allowed; if caught by traffic police, fines start at several hundred yuan, and in severe cases, the bike may be impounded, which can lead to significant trouble. Additionally, although the vehicle license has a long validity period, it is required during annual inspections. I recommend keeping it safe to avoid loss. If it does get lost, apply for a replacement promptly to prevent any inconvenience. The vehicle license is also necessary for insurance claims or accident handling to prove ownership, so don’t let small issues turn into major hassles. Safe riding starts with complete documentation.
