What vehicles can be driven with an M license?

M license is a driving license for wheeled self-propelled machinery, allowing the holder to operate wheeled self-propelled machinery. Wheeled self-propelled machinery is divided into rail wheeled self-propelled machinery and ordinary wheeled self-propelled machinery. The former includes train locomotives, bullet trains, rail cars, rail motorcycles, rail cranes, and specialized railway construction machinery. The latter includes automobiles, tire cranes, road rollers, tractors, harvesters, and specialized construction machinery. Precautions: The speed of wheeled specialized machinery should not exceed 15 kilometers per hour when passing through narrow roads, narrow bridges, and sharp turns. It is not allowed to perform lateral lifting operations on slopes with a gradient of more than 5%. If such operations are necessary, the vehicle body should be leveled. Wheeled specialized machinery cannot carry passengers or tow other vehicles. When operating wheeled specialized machinery, the driver should not extend their head, hands, feet, or other limbs outside the vehicle. When leaving the vehicle, the driver should tighten the handbrake, cut off the power supply, and lock the doors.
As a frequent motorcycle enthusiast, I learned about the various types when obtaining my driver's license. In China, there are mainly three categories of motorcycle licenses: the D license is for three-wheeled motorcycles, allowing you to ride three-wheelers and all two-wheeled motorcycles; the E license is for two-wheeled motorcycles, suitable for regular or high-displacement two-wheeled models; the F license is for light motorcycles, permitting only small-displacement, low-speed models. Your choice should depend on the type of motorcycle you usually ride. For example, if you commute on a light motorcycle, the F license may suffice, while those seeking performance should opt for the E or D license. The first step to safe riding is matching your license to your motorcycle type—riding without the proper license is dangerous and can lead to accidents or fines. It's advisable to consult a driving school about the training process and understand the requirements before taking the test. Don't cut corners and ride recklessly.
From the perspective of maintaining road safety, I fully understand the importance of the permitted vehicle types on a driver's license. In the motorcycle field, a Class D license permits riding three-wheeled and two-wheeled motorcycles; a Class E license permits riding two-wheeled motorcycles; and a Class F license only permits riding light motorcycles. If you hold an F license but ride a large-displacement motorcycle, that constitutes driving beyond the permitted scope, which may lead to penalties and risks. Develop the habit of checking your license type when riding to ensure it matches the motorcycle you are actually riding. In daily travel, don't overlook this detail—safe riding is fundamental.
