If you want to ride a motorcycle, you must obtain a license. To legally operate a motorcycle, you need to acquire a motorcycle driver's license. In this case, you can apply for additional D, E, or F licenses. A regular car driver's license alone does not permit you to ride a motorcycle, as motorcycle and car licenses are two distinct categories. You can first obtain a motorcycle license and then apply for a car license one year later. Below are the requirements for obtaining a motorcycle license: Requirement 1: To apply for a motorcycle license, you need to bring your ID card, a white-background photo, and a driver's license medical examination form. Requirement 2: To obtain a motorcycle license, you need your ID card. If you are not a local resident, you must obtain a residence permit from the local police station. Bring your white-background photo and go to the vehicle management office to register for the motorcycle learning and test. Before registration, you will need a driver's license medical examination form, which can usually be processed at the registration site.

Having driven for over a decade, I later learned the importance of obtaining a motorcycle license when I started riding. Riding requires mastering skills like balance and emergency braking—without professional training, it's easy to lose control and get into accidents. The licensing exam systematically trains you to handle various road conditions, such as slippery surfaces in the rain or speed control on curves, significantly reducing accident risks. Riding without a license? Police checks can lead to immediate vehicle impoundment and fines, and it might even affect future car license applications. In case of an accident, insurance won’t cover you, leaving you to bear all losses and potentially burdening family and friends. Getting licensed means proper training in safe riding habits—why not? Riding a bike is thrilling, but safety comes first. I genuinely recommend taking the time to get licensed for peace of mind.

Can a sedan accommodate 6 people?

No, it cannot. A sedan is limited to seating 5 people, and carrying 6 people would be considered overloading. Overload refers to the actual loading of a transportation vehicle exceeding the maximum allowable limit as specified. For freight transport, overloading typically means the cargo exceeds the loading capacity of the freight vehicle. Below are the penalty points for overloading: 1. 12 points: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle with more than 20% over the approved number of passengers. 2. 6 points: Operating a commercial passenger vehicle with more passengers than approved but less than 20% over, or operating other passenger vehicles with more than 20% over the approved number of passengers. 3. 3 points: Operating passenger vehicles other than commercial passenger vehicles or school buses with more passengers than approved but less than 20% over.
