Is a Motorcycle License the Same as a Car License?
2 Answers
Motorcycle licenses and car licenses are not the same. Here is an introduction to motorcycle licenses: 1. Basic Introduction: Motorcycle licenses are divided into D and E classes. A D license covers ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and includes the E class, while an E license is for ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles. If you hold a C1 driver's license and want to ride a motorcycle, it is best to upgrade to a D or E license, which allows you to legally ride a motorcycle on the road. 2. Exam Content: The first subject is a theoretical test consisting of 50 questions with a full score of 100; a passing score is 90 or above. Subjects two and three are taken together, with test items typically including stake tests, slope parking and starting, and crossing a single-plank bridge, all supervised by police and examiners.
A motorcycle license and a car license are completely different. First, the test content varies: motorcycles require skills like slalom and single-plank bridge for balance, while cars test reverse parking and parallel parking. Secondly, the license types differ—motorcycles require a Class D or F license, whereas cars need a Class C. Most importantly, the driving methods are vastly distinct: motorcycle riders must learn leaning techniques and body coordination for turns, while car driving relies solely on hands and feet. I advise friends with car licenses not to sneakily ride motorcycles on the road—I’ve seen beginners treat motorcycles like e-bikes, losing control during turns and crashing into greenbelts. Additionally, upgrading a license now requires retaking the written test (Subject 1), not just adding a vehicle type.
