Is a motorcycle license type D or type E?
2 Answers
For three-wheeled motorcycles, a type D license is required; for two-wheeled motorcycles, either a type E or type D license is acceptable. Below is an introduction to motorcycle license types: 1. A type D license is suitable for three-wheeled motorcycles and allows the holder to drive three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. 2. A type E license is suitable for two-wheeled motorcycles and allows the holder to drive two-wheeled motorcycles and light motorcycles. 3. A type F license is suitable for light motorcycles. 4. With a type D license, the holder is permitted to drive all vehicle types covered by type D, E, and F licenses. With a type E license, the holder is only permitted to drive all vehicle types covered by type E and F licenses.
Last time I took the driver's license test, I was thinking about this. Motorcycles usually require an E license, specifically for two-wheelers, and basically, you need an E license to ride large-displacement bikes on the road. If you're riding a three-wheeled motorcycle or a cargo-carrying one, you'll need a D license. The D license is a higher level and also allows you to ride two-wheelers, so I recommend going straight for the D license to cover all bases. Safety always comes first when riding—I always wear a helmet and check my route to avoid getting caught for speeding and losing points. Actually, choosing between E and D depends on the bike model and usage. Beginners should try test rides at a driving school to see which one feels more comfortable.
