Is a Motorcycle License a Class D License?
2 Answers
Yes, a Class D license is a three-wheeled motorcycle driver's license, which allows you to drive all types of motorcycles. Below is a relevant introduction about motorcycle driver's licenses: 1. Introduction to Motorcycle Licenses: Motorcycle licenses are divided into Class D, E, and F. Motorcycles come in two types: two-wheeled and three-wheeled. In addition to directly applying for a beginner's two-wheeled motorcycle license or a beginner's three-wheeled motorcycle license, you can also apply for an additional two-wheeled motorcycle license or an additional three-wheeled motorcycle license. The learning process and fees are the same for both beginner and additional licenses. 2. Specific Content of the Motorcycle License Test: Theory Test (Subject 1), taken about one week after registration. The motorcycle Subject 1 test generally requires answering 50 questions, with each question worth 2 points, and the test duration is 45 minutes. If you fail, you can schedule a retake. Practical Test (Subject 2), which is essentially a motorcycle slalom test. Road Test (Subject 4), mainly covering various road signs and indicators. The oath is the final step to obtaining your driver's license.
As a motorcycle enthusiast, I was curious about this when I first got my license, so here’s my experience: Motorcycle licenses aren’t just the Class D type—they’re actually divided into Class D and Class E. Class D is specifically for three-wheeled motorcycles and also covers two-wheelers, while Class E is limited to two-wheelers only. I initially got an E license because my bike was a lightweight two-wheeler. If you want more flexibility from the start, getting a Class D license is more cost-effective—it allows you to ride more types of bikes, and the learning process isn’t much harder. The license test includes both theory and practical training. I spent time at the driving school practicing balance and cornering techniques, which has made me much more confident on the road. I also often remind beginners not to ride motorcycles with a Class C car license—that’s completely non-compliant. Safety always comes first; riding the wrong bike could lead to serious trouble in case of an accident.
