Is a Motor Vehicle Driver's License for Motorcycles or Cars?

Motorcycle driver's license is also called motor vehicle driver's license, but it cannot be used to drive cars. The specific details are as follows: Definition of Motor Vehicle Driver's License. A motor vehicle driver's license refers to a legal certificate issued by the administrative department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered the knowledge of traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the examination. It permits the holder to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. Differences between Motorcycle and Car Driver's Licenses. Car driver's licenses are generally C1, while motorcycle licenses are E. They cannot be obtained simultaneously; there must be a one-year interval between applications. Both motorcycle and car driver's licenses are managed by the vehicle management office. If there are unpaid fines for motorcycle traffic violations, the vehicle management department will not approve the application for a car driver's license.
A motor vehicle driver's license is not specifically designed for motorcycles or cars only; it covers a much broader range. The commonly mentioned C1 license allows you to drive small cars—including five-seat sedans and SUVs—but motorcycles require a separate E license. The D license is exclusively for three-wheeled motorcycles. After obtaining your license, flip it over to check the permitted vehicle types table on the back, which clearly lists all the vehicles you are allowed to drive. We often see people on the road using a C1 license to ride motorcycles and getting fined—this is due to confusion over classifications. Driving a motorcycle without the proper license can result in vehicle impoundment and fines. It's advisable to think carefully about what vehicles you plan to drive before taking the driving test.
