What Vehicles Can a Class D License Drive?

[DiHolden]

D class license permits driving three-wheeled motorcycles. A Class D driver's license is also compatible with vehicles allowed by Class E and F licenses. Class E license permits driving ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, while Class F license permits driving light motorcycles, i.e., motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50cc or a maximum speed exceeding 50km/h. The Class D license examination consists of three subjects: Subject One, Subject Two, and Subject Three. Below is an introduction to the subjects of the Class D license examination: Subject One: Theoretical knowledge test, similar in content to the Class C1 license examination. Subject Two: Slalom test, with a full score of 100 points; 80 points or above is considered passing. Touching a pole deducts 10 points, knocking over a pole deducts 20 points, and any wheel crossing the edge line of the pole track results in failure. Subject Three: Conducted together with Subject Two, without separate training or examination. It includes five items: turning, width-limited gate, slope parking, slope starting, and single-plank bridge. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" issued by the public security department, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into levels. Therefore, driver's licenses are divided into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, P. The vehicle types permitted by each different level of driver's license are as follows: A1 license permits driving large passenger vehicles. A2 license permits driving tractor trailers, heavy and medium-duty full trailers, and semi-trailer combinations. A3 license permits driving city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 license permits driving heavy passenger vehicles. B2 license permits driving heavy and medium-duty 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-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). M license permits driving wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles. N license permits driving trolleybuses. P license permits driving tramcars.

I work in traffic management and have seen too many people confused about what vehicles a Class D license covers. Simply put, the Class D license is the top-tier motorcycle license—it allows you to ride any motorcycle with wheels, whether it's a three-wheeler or two-wheeler, including big-displacement bikes, scooters, and off-road motorcycles. But here's a heads-up: this license doesn't cover cars! Last year, we handled several cases where people got penalized for driving SUVs with a Class D license. Honestly, the Class D license is the most cost-effective option—it covers all motorcycle types in one go, unlike the Class C license, which has tiers. If you frequently ride motorcycles for deliveries or mountain trips, this is the license to get. Just remember to always wear a helmet and avoid overloading—safety comes first.
