Is the Motorcycle License the D License?
1 Answers
The D license is just one of the motorcycle licenses. Motorcycle licenses are divided into D, E, and F licenses, which allow driving a three-wheeled motorcycle, a standard two-wheeled motorcycle, and a light motorcycle, respectively. The D license is the highest-level motorcycle license, permitting the operation of three-wheeled motorcycles, standard two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Below are the specific details: D license: Three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed exceeding 50km/h. E license: Permits driving two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml (including two-wheeled electric vehicles with speeds exceeding 50 km/h). F license: Permits driving two-wheeled light motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less (including two-wheeled electric vehicles with speeds exceeding 25 km/h). According to China's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the licenses that permit driving motorcycles are D, E, and F. Among these, the D license allows driving E and F class vehicles; the E license allows driving F class vehicles; and the F license only permits driving F class vehicles, with no other vehicle types allowed. According to the first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council in the "Letter on the Understanding and Application of Certain Legal Provisions in the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China and Its Implementation Regulations," driving a motor vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the driving license will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points, a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 yuan, and may also include detention for up to 15 days. According to the "Specifications for Motor Vehicle Driving License Business Operations" issued by the public security department, motor vehicle driving licenses are implemented in a hierarchical system. Therefore, driving licenses are divided into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each different level of driving license are as follows: A1 license: Permits driving large passenger vehicles. A2 license: Permits driving tractor trailers, heavy and medium-sized full trailers, and semi-trailer combinations. A3 license: Permits driving urban buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 license: Permits driving heavy passenger vehicles. B2 license: Permits driving heavy and medium-sized cargo vehicles, etc. C1 license: Permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles, etc. C2 license: Permits driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles, etc. C3 license: Permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license: Permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally three-wheeled agricultural transport vehicles). M license: Permits driving wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles. N license: Permits driving trolleybuses. P license: Permits driving tramcars.
