How long after obtaining a car license can one take the motorcycle license test?

You must wait at least one year after obtaining a motorcycle driver's license before you can take the test for a car driver's license. Introduction to the C1 driver's license: The C1 driver's license is a type of driver's license code. It permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light, micro, and small specialized operation vehicles. Adding a motorcycle driver's license: You can apply for a motorcycle driver's license at the vehicle management office of the local traffic management department of the public security authority in your registered residence or temporary residence. You need to submit your identity proof and the "Motor Vehicle Driver Physical Condition Certificate." The vehicle management office of the traffic management department of the public security authority will directly accept the motorcycle driver's license application for applicants who meet the above conditions.

There is actually no mandatory waiting period between obtaining a car license and applying for a motorcycle license. I got my car license last year and took the motorcycle test this year—it was super exciting. In China, as long as you meet the age requirement (usually 18 or older), you can immediately apply for an additional motorcycle license (Class D or E) after obtaining a Class C driver’s license. I simply went to a local driving school to register, providing copies of my ID and car license. The test includes: a theory exam (similar to the car test but with motorcycle-specific knowledge), a skills test (like slalom and narrow-plank riding, which really tests your balance), and a road test (riding on actual streets). I practiced for two weeks and passed on my first try. However, I’d recommend beginners wait a month or two to get familiar with traffic rules before taking the test for safety. Riding a motorcycle is thrilling, but don’t forget to practice low-speed control after getting your license to avoid accidents.

As a driver with ten years of experience, I must say that obtaining a motorcycle license after getting a car license basically requires no waiting period. Legally, you can directly apply for a motorcycle endorsement with a Class C driver's license, provided you are at least 18 years old, and there is no mandatory waiting period. However, for safety reasons, I would recommend that beginners drive a car for at least a few weeks after obtaining their car license to familiarize themselves with the driving environment before taking the motorcycle test, as motorcycles are more sensitive to handle and prone to tipping over. The test is quite simple: review traffic regulations for the theoretical part and practice starting and braking for the practical part. I've seen many trainees at the driving school pass directly, but I advise you to get a feel for the motorcycle before the test and bring all necessary license materials for registration. After passing, remember to always wear a helmet and obey traffic rules to extend the validity of your license.

I've been handling driver's license training for several years. You can apply for a motorcycle license immediately after obtaining a car license. As long as you hold a valid Class C driver's license and meet the age requirement (18 years or older), you can enroll in the additional license program. The process involves: going to the DMV to fill out forms and pay fees, or registering at a driving school; the exam consists of theory and practical tests, including written rules and on-road riding tests. The entire process can be completed in just a few weeks if everything goes smoothly, with no mandatory waiting period. Practice more turning techniques, be careful not to slip during the test, and you'll get your new license upon passing.

As parents, after our child got their car license and wanted to get a motorcycle license, I checked the regulations and found that they can apply immediately as long as they are 18 years old. However, for safety reasons, I asked them to drive a car for a few more months before considering a motorcycle, as riding a motorcycle as a beginner carries higher risks. The test includes a written exam and a riding test, which are quite simple, but require more precise control. I suggest your child try a simulator at a driving school before taking the test to ensure safety comes first. Getting the license early means enjoying it sooner, but always ride with caution.
