Is it mandatory to combine motorcycle and car licenses?
2 Answers
Motorcycle and car licenses must be combined, as one individual cannot hold two separate driver's licenses. After merging, the total points remain 12. Process for adding a Class D license: Submit an application and complete the 'Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form,' providing proof of identity, physical condition, and the currently held C1 'Driver's License.' Apply for the license upgrade at the vehicle management office where the C1 'Driver's License' was originally issued. Study traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge, then schedule and take the exam. Learn and practice field driving skills, schedule and take the exam. Learn and practice road driving skills, schedule and take the exam. Upon passing all exams, receive the new 'Driver's License,' and surrender the original motor vehicle 'Driver's License.' Notes for the motorcycle license exam: Before taking the exam, the right index fingerprint must be recorded to prevent impersonation or proxy test-taking. After completing the legal training, the exam can be taken. Candidates have two attempts; if the first attempt fails, they can retake the exam immediately. If still unsuccessful, a retake fee (covering two exam attempts) must be paid, and the candidate must wait for the driving school to schedule the next exam date.
In our country, the driver's license is managed uniformly. Whether you're driving a car or riding a motorcycle, it's the same document. This license acts like your identity card, listing all the vehicle types you're authorized to operate—for example, C1 represents small cars, while D or E stands for motorcycles. If you already have a car license and want to add a motorcycle endorsement, you'll need to go to a driving school to take additional theoretical and practical tests. Once passed, your license will be updated. The unified system is quite good—it makes it convenient for the vehicle management office to maintain consistent records and helps prevent people from using fake licenses or driving without one. I've studied traffic regulations before and find this design reasonable. Adding a motorcycle endorsement isn't too difficult either; with some time and effort, it can be done. But remember, whether driving or riding, always follow the rules—safety comes first.
