Does deducting points for a C1D motorcycle affect a car?

Having a C1D driver's license and receiving penalty points for safely driving a motorcycle will affect the car. This is because the C1D license is an integrated license with a total of 12 points. Age requirements for applying for a C1 driver's license: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70 and above must pass tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. Vehicle types permitted for C1: The C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. Vehicles not permitted for C1 driver's license: The C1 license does not permit driving large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, or trams. Additionally, a C1 license does not allow driving vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters.

When I first heard about this, I was a bit confused myself. Later, after checking the regulations, I found the answer. In China, the C1D driver's license is managed in a combined manner, meaning the demerit point system applies to the entire license, regardless of whether it's for a motorcycle or a car. I have a neighbor who serves as an example: he ran a red light on his motorcycle and got 3 points deducted. He didn’t pay much attention at the time, but then he was caught speeding in his car and got another 6 points deducted, quickly accumulating close to the maximum limit. If the total points reach 12, the license may be revoked, and you’ll have to retake the theoretical exam, which seriously affects daily driving and may even increase insurance premiums. So, motorcycle demerit points definitely affect car driving. I recommend using the Traffic Management 12123 App to check your points regularly, always follow the rules, and prioritize safety. After all, driving points are shared—don’t focus on the vehicle type, just the total.

Yes, demerit points on a C1D driver's license will affect car driving, which I learned early in driving school. The point deduction system is based on the individual's license, not calculated separately by vehicle. For example, if you get penalized while riding a motorcycle, it consumes the same points pool as for cars. Once the total 12 points are exhausted, it may lead to suspension of all driving privileges, requiring participation in traffic safety education. I've read reports that traffic regulations have become stricter since last year, with violations from any vehicle type uniformly counted towards risk. I recommend downloading the official app to monitor points or checking at the local DMV. Obeying traffic rules not only avoids point deductions but also improves driving habits, as safety is no trivial matter – vehicle differences don't equate to varying risks.

Of course it has an impact. The driver's license points system is integrated. Whether you're driving a motorcycle or a car with a C1D license, the points deducted are added to the same total account. Points deducted for motorcycles are the same as those for cars, with a shared limit of 12 points. If the total points reach the limit, you'll be in big trouble. Check your mobile app to see the remaining points in real time. Remember, safety comes first—no matter what vehicle you're driving, it's your responsibility.
