How to Upgrade from C1 License to D License?
3 Answers
You need to have held a C1 license for at least one year, with no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the most recent scoring cycle. The vehicle types permitted under a Class D driver's license are: three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50Km/h; two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50Km/h; and light motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less and a maximum design speed of 50Km/h or less. Below is relevant information about motor vehicle driver's licenses: 1. Motor Vehicle Driver's License: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities, permitting individuals who have legally learned to drive motor vehicles, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the required tests to operate specific types of motor vehicles. 2. Types: Driver's licenses can be categorized into: Class A, B, C, D, E, F, M, N, and P; Class C can be further divided into C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5; Class B can be divided into B1 and B2.
I understand the process of upgrading a driver's license. To upgrade from a C1 to a D license, you need to meet several conditions: hold the C1 license for at least one year and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points recently. Then, go to the local vehicle management office to register, bringing your ID card, original driver's license, and a few photos, with a registration fee of around a thousand yuan. It's recommended to attend a driving school training for about two weeks, covering motorcycle theory and practical skills, such as slalom and brake control. The test consists of four parts: a written theory test (Subject 1) on rules, a practical test on the field (Subject 2), a road test (Subject 3), and after passing, another written test on traffic regulations (Subject 4). The whole process can be completed in one to two months if everything goes smoothly, resulting in a combined C1D license. I think preparing in advance with test software for practice questions is crucial. Safety comes first—riding a motorcycle is different from driving a car, as it's more prone to slipping in strong winds, so protective gear must be fully equipped.
Last year, I successfully upgraded my license to include a Class D, and now I can ride a motorcycle for trips. Initially, I thought that having a C1 license for over a year would be enough, so I went straight to the DMV to register and spent half a day in line. I chose a nearby driving school that offered a package including training, with the total cost covering the exam being a little over two thousand. The learning process was fun but required focus, with several classes each week to practice balance and starting. On the exam day, I was nervous but passed, mainly tested on emergency stops and gear shifting. After the upgrade, my license is now combined, saving the hassle of getting a new one. Using a motorcycle for daily commuting is more flexible, with less traffic and lower fuel costs, but I have to remember to follow stricter rules in the city and avoid speeding.
