Does motorcycle demerit points affect B2 license?

Motorcycle demerit points do affect the B2 license. Here is relevant information: Extended information: Currently, both licenses are combined into one. Regardless of whether it's a motorcycle or car violation, demerit points are deducted from the same license. Motorcycle demerits count against the driver's license points. Driver's License: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driver's license." It is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a "certificate of permission."
I've been driving for ten years and occasionally ride motorcycles, so I know that penalty points definitely affect a B2 license. In China, driver's licenses use a cumulative points system—whether you're driving a car or riding a motorcycle, any violation points are added to the same license. The B2 license is for large trucks, so if you're caught by a traffic camera while riding a motorcycle, the penalty points immediately add up. If you accumulate 12 points, your B2 license could be suspended or require retraining and testing, which would seriously disrupt your work. Once, I was fined 6 points for speeding on a motorcycle, nearly jeopardizing my truck driving qualification. Since then, I always remind myself not to act impulsively. Following the rules is crucial, and handling tickets promptly helps avoid escalating troubles. After all, a driver's license isn’t just about points—it’s about livelihood and safety.
I just got my B2 license recently and I'm particularly concerned about point deductions. If you're fined for a motorcycle violation, the points will be directly added to your driver's license total, which can have a significant impact on your B2 license. For example, if you're penalized for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle, the points will also affect your B2 license; once the accumulated points reach 12, your license could be revoked, and you'd have to spend time retraining. I've discussed this with friends, and they all emphasize taking fewer risks—protecting your license is protecting yourself. Whether driving or riding a motorcycle daily, I pay attention to speed limits and signals to avoid small mistakes accumulating into major risks. If something serious happens, it could disrupt daily driving, which would be a real hassle.
