How long after obtaining a D license can one apply for a C license?

One can apply for a C license one year after obtaining a D license. The conditions for applying for a C license with a D license are: 1. Holding the D license for more than one year; 2. No record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. The vehicle types permitted by a D license include ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and the vehicle types permitted by E and F licenses. C licenses are divided into C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 licenses. A driver's license refers to a legal document issued by the management authorities, permitting the holder to drive certain types of motor vehicles after passing the required tests, having mastered traffic regulations and driving skills.

As an experienced driver with over a decade behind the wheel, I often help friends with license-related questions. After obtaining a D license (motorcycle license), you can't immediately apply for a C license (car license) – you must wait one year before applying for an additional license category. This is a national regulation designed to give new riders a year of riding experience to familiarize themselves with traffic rules and avoid accidents from rushing into driving. When the time comes, you'll need to complete a medical exam, register for the written test, then practice driving and take the road test – just like your first license application. Don't forget to review the traffic rulebook beforehand to avoid getting stuck. Safety first – don't rush the process, make sure you're fully prepared before proceeding.

I'm a college student who obtained my Class D license last year and recently wanted to upgrade to a Class C license. After researching, I found out I have to wait a full year before applying. This regulation is reasonable as it prevents beginners from learning too many vehicle types at once, which could lead to distraction and accidents. During the waiting year, I recommend practicing motorcycle skills and learning traffic signs. Once the year is up, go for a medical check-up and register, preparing for the theory tests. The whole process isn't too complicated, the key is not to procrastinate.

After getting my motorcycle license, I also wanted to add a car license. I had to wait a whole year before I could start the process of upgrading to a Class C license. This is a rule set by the traffic department to ensure driving safety and avoid dangers caused by lack of experience. During that year, I continued riding my motorcycle as usual, following all the rules. Now I'm ready to enroll in driving school for the test—simple and straightforward.
