What is the meaning of additional driving license?

Additional driving license refers to obtaining an additional driving license. Those who have just obtained one type of driving license (such as a motorcycle license) can only take the test for other types of driving licenses after one year. During the registration and examination process for an additional driving license, the applicant must bring their ID card and the previously obtained driving license. Those who pass the exam can obtain the additional license. To apply for an additional driving license, the applicant must have a local household registration in the area where the original license was issued, and the issuing authority of the original license must also be local. If the applicant does not have a local household registration and the original license was not issued locally, the application will not be processed, and the applicant must transfer their registration. Application conditions: To apply for an additional medium-sized bus driving license, the applicant must have held a city bus, large truck, small car, small automatic transmission car, low-speed truck, or three-wheeled car driving license for at least three years and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before the application. To apply for an additional tractor driving license, the applicant must have held a medium-sized bus or large truck driving license for at least three years, or a large bus driving license for at least one year, and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before the application. To apply for an additional large bus driving license, the applicant must have held a medium-sized bus, city bus, or large truck driving license for at least five years, or a tractor driving license for at least two years, and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last five consecutive scoring cycles before the application.
Adding a driving license category is like 'leveling up' your license. I just added a D category last year - my original C1 license only allowed me to drive cars, but after passing the motorcycle test, a D was printed on the back. This is perfect for people looking to expand their driving skills: food delivery riders can upgrade from C to E to ride motorcycles for orders; truck drivers can upgrade from B2 to A2 to drive tractor-trailers. However, note that adding categories requires going back to driving school to learn the specific vehicle type and pass all four exam sections. After getting the new license, both permitted vehicle types share the same 12-point system, and the probation period resets. When I was practicing the slalom test for my E license, my poor balance made the instructor laugh at me for three days straight.
