Does Motorcycle Demerit Points Affect B2 License?
2 Answers
Motorcycle demerit points do affect a B2 driver's license. Here are the relevant details: Unified Licensing: Currently, licenses are unified, meaning any traffic violation - whether by motorcycle or car - will deduct points from the same license. The motorcycle demerits are deducted from the driver's license points. Retesting Requirement: If a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 or more points twice within one scoring cycle, in addition to having their license temporarily suspended, attending mandatory training, and taking tests as stipulated in Article 23, they must also undergo driving skills examination. License Revocation: For serious motorcycle violations that breach road traffic safety laws and regulations, resulting in major accidents constituting criminal offenses, the offender shall bear criminal responsibility according to law, and the traffic management department will revoke their motor vehicle driving license.
As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've seen many friends get points deducted for motorcycle violations, which ended up affecting their B2 heavy truck driving licenses. This is something that really needs attention, because the current driver's license point system is unified. No matter what vehicle you drive, all penalty points accumulate in one central pool. For example, if you run a red light on a motorcycle and get points deducted, those points will be added to your B2 license. If the total exceeds 12 points, your license might be temporarily suspended, requiring you to attend remedial classes and retake tests. In severe cases, you could face license downgrade or revocation. That's why I always remind everyone: even when riding motorcycles, obey traffic rules, regularly check your points on the traffic management app, and don't let minor mistakes jeopardize your livelihood. Maintaining a clean point record through safe driving is the only way to preserve your professional qualifications and avoid unnecessary troubles.
