How to deal with riding a scrapped motorcycle with a C1 license?
3 Answers
It will be treated as driving without a license. A C1 license does not permit riding a motorcycle, which falls under the category of driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted driving type. The scrapped motorcycle will be impounded and forcibly scrapped, with a fine imposed and administrative detention for up to 15 days.
I've been driving for over a decade and have seen many such issues. Riding a scrapped motorcycle is illegal in itself, as such vehicles may have brake failures or engine explosions, endangering yourself and others. What's worse, a C1 license only permits driving small cars and does not include motorcycles; you need a separate E license to ride legally. If caught by traffic police, you'll face immediate point deductions and fines, possible revocation of your C1 license, and may even have to go to court to handle the accident. Don't take the risk of riding illegally—just tow the motorcycle to a recycling center for scrapping. Once the vehicle is legally deregistered, the hazards are eliminated. Then, enroll in a local driving school to obtain your E license; the process is straightforward, with theory and practical tests that can be completed in a week or two. Remember, safe driving is no small matter—following the rules protects lives and saves money. Don't wait for an accident to regret your actions; timely action is the best strategy.
As a young rider, I want to share some honest advice with my friends. Riding a scrapped motorcycle is extremely dangerous - old parts can fail at any moment. Plus, with only a C1 license and no motorcycle qualification, it's not just illegal but also carries severe penalties. If caught, you'll face fines over 1,000 yuan and 12 penalty points, which will directly suspend your C1 license. In case of an accident, insurance won't cover a penny, leaving you fully liable. My suggestion: stop using that bike immediately, have it properly scrapped at a licensed recycling point to avoid environmental pollution and safety hazards. Then quickly get your E license - it only costs a few hundred yuan, and you'll be road-legal afterward. Consider renting shared e-bikes as a transition - they're safe and convenient. Remember how much your family and friends worry about you - don't risk big consequences for small gains.
