Do you have to be 18 years old to get a motorcycle license?

You must be at least 18 years old to obtain a motorcycle license. Motorcycle License Test Process (Subject 1): First, register and pay the fee, select the motorcycle type, then study the theoretical knowledge of Subject 1 online as arranged by the driving school, and wait for notification of the specific time to take the Subject 1 test. From registration to the Subject 1 test, it usually takes about 4 to 5 days. If you pass Subject 1, the driving school will arrange practice sessions for Subject 2. If you fail Subject 1, you will have to wait for the next available test date. Important Notes for Obtaining a Motorcycle License: If you are currently in the process of obtaining a C1, C2, or other motor vehicle license, you cannot apply for a motorcycle license at the same time. Any additional license must be applied for only after the probationary period of the original license has ended.
I just turned 18 when I got my motorcycle license, as the law requires this minimum age for application. I remember checking regulations before registering – traffic laws clearly state you must be 18+ to hold a license, ensuring drivers have sufficient psychological maturity. Young men may have good physical strength but tend to be impulsive, and high-speed riding carries greater risks. This government threshold helps reduce accidents. The exam process, including theoretical study and road tests, emphasizes safety rules. Under 18, you can only ride mopeds or e-bikes limited to 50cc, with no highway access. I recommend studying traffic rules in advance, preparing ID documents, and enrolling at a driving school immediately at 18. Don't rush for high-displacement bikes – safety comes first. Details like helmets and protective gear are non-negotiable.
