Does Untreated Motorcycle Violation Affect a Car Under the Two-License Consolidation Policy?
2 Answers
Motorcycle violations will affect the car driver's license. Currently, under the two-license consolidation policy, one driver's license covers both motorcycles and cars. Any violations, whether by motorcycle or car, will deduct points from the same license. Points deducted for motorcycle violations are taken from the driver's license. Detailed introduction is as follows: Specific impacts: If a motorcycle violation results in point deductions, it will not affect obtaining a driver's license. However, when registering a new car, if the motorcycle owner's name matches the car owner's name, it will affect the registration process. The motorcycle violation must be resolved first. Motorcycle violations: For minor motorcycle violations like speeding or running a red light, simply paying the fine is sufficient. If the violation is severe, violating road traffic safety laws and regulations, leading to a major traffic accident that constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued, and the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driver's license. Fleeing after causing a traffic accident will result in the traffic management department revoking the motor vehicle driver's license, with a lifetime ban on reapplying for a driver's license.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I used to think that ignoring motorcycle traffic violations was no big deal. But personal experience has taught me that this can absolutely affect driving a car. In China, the driver's license point system is unified—whether you're riding a motorcycle or driving a car, traffic violations are recorded on your license. If left unresolved, accumulating 12 points will result in your license being suspended or revoked, meaning you won't be able to drive a car either. I once had a friend who ignored a speeding ticket on his motorcycle, only to be pulled over later while driving his car. The system showed an unresolved violation, leading to immediate vehicle impoundment and fines. Even worse, your license status affects vehicle inspections and insurance renewals, and delaying resolution can incur additional late fees. Bottom line: to keep your car safely on the road, never treat motorcycle violations lightly—handle them promptly at the traffic police station or via an app before trouble comes knocking.
