Where to Take the Motorcycle License Test in Shanghai?
2 Answers
In Shanghai, you can apply for a motorcycle license at driving schools such as Jinqiu Driving School near Minhang District and Jun'gong Driving School near Hongkou District. Here is some information about motorcycle licenses: 1. Classification: Motorcycle licenses are divided into Class D and Class E. A Class D license covers ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and includes Class E, while a Class E license is for ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles. Motorcycle licenses are widely used in daily life. 2. Important Notes: Before taking the test, you need to provide a fingerprint of your right index finger to prevent impersonation. After completing the legal training, you can take the test, which lasts 45 minutes and consists of 50 questions—50 fewer than the C1 license test. All questions are objective, with the first 20 being multiple-choice and the remaining 30 true/false. The test is scored out of 100, and a score of 90 or above is required to pass. You have two attempts. If you fail the first time, you can retake the test immediately. If you still fail, you need to pay a 50-yuan retake fee (which includes two more attempts) and wait for the driving school to schedule the next test.
When I got my motorcycle license in Shanghai, I chose to register at the vehicle management office test site in Jiading District. The whole process was straightforward: I first checked nearby driving school registration points online, brought my ID card and medical report to pay the fee, and then started learning theoretical knowledge and practical riding. On the exam day, the road test was conducted in a small area at the vehicle management office, where the examiner checked vehicle slalom and emergency braking. If everything went smoothly, the results were issued on the spot. I recommend that beginners pay more attention to the Shanghai Traffic Police Bureau's website, which has the latest list of test sites including branches in Pudong and Minhang, making it convenient to choose a nearby location and avoid long-distance travel. Don’t forget to budget a few days to complete the course, with costs around a little over a thousand yuan. After passing the exam and getting your license, commuting by bike saves time and effort—just remember to wear a helmet, safety first.
