Is the Subject 1 Test for Motorcycle License the Same as for Cars?

Motorcycle license and car license theory tests are not entirely the same, but share many similarities. The relevant introduction about driver's licenses is as follows: Introduction 1: A motor vehicle driver's license refers to the legal certificate issued by the administrative department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied and mastered traffic regulations knowledge and driving skills, and passed the examination. It permits driving a certain type of motor vehicle. Introduction 2: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle arbitrarily may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills to drive vehicles on the road, this permitted document is the 'driver's license,' indicating that it is a 'license certificate.'
I passed the motorcycle theory test (Subject 1), and it's quite similar to the car license test. Basically, it all comes down to practicing question banks, with questions revolving around core topics like traffic regulations, road signs, and safety knowledge. For instance, you need to understand traffic light rules, pedestrian right-of-way, and penalties for drunk driving. However, the motorcycle test includes some motorcycle-specific sections, such as the mandatory helmet rule or different speed limits on certain road sections. While reviewing, I noticed that 80% of the practice questions in the app were the same, saving me a lot of time. Still, it's best to use dedicated question banks for motorcycles before the test, as some questions, like turning techniques, are fine-tuned for two-wheelers. In short, if you already know the car Subject 1 content, learning the motorcycle version is a breeze. I recommend everyone master the theory first before hitting the road—safety comes first. This knowledge also helps you avoid pitfalls in actual riding, like how to stay steady in rainy conditions or what to watch for when riding alongside cars.
