As a beginner who just started learning to ride a motorcycle, I can tell you that a license is absolutely necessary. When I first bought my bike, I was so excited that I wanted to hit the road immediately, but my friend reminded me that I needed to get a license first, otherwise it would be illegal. In China, you need either a D or E license to ride a motorcycle, and the test isn't too difficult. I enrolled in a driving school and studied for a month, which included both theory exams and practical training. Riding without a license can lead to fines and a bad record if caught by the police, but more importantly, it's a safety issue—beginners are more prone to accidents. I had a fall myself, luckily it was at the training ground. So, make sure to get your license before you start riding; don't cut corners.
