Confiscation of a motorcycle will affect a C1 driver's license. As of June 16, 2021, if the motorcycle and C1 driver's license are combined, it will affect the deduction of points. If a motorcycle traffic violation results in point deductions, it will not affect obtaining a driver's license. However, when an individual registers a new car, if the owner's name on the motorcycle matches the owner's name on the personal car, it will affect the registration. The motorcycle's violations must be cleared first. Here are the specific details: 1. Speeding or running a red light: For common motorcycle violations like speeding or running a red light, paying the fine is sufficient. 2. Serious violations: If the motorcycle violation is serious, violating traffic safety laws and regulations, resulting in a major traffic accident that constitutes a crime, criminal liability will be pursued, and the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driver's license. If the driver flees after causing a traffic accident, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driver's license, and the driver will be permanently banned from obtaining a driver's license again.
Speaking of motorcycles being impounded, I have to mention my own experience. I've been riding for almost ten years and understand how the points system on a driver's license works. If a motorcycle is impounded due to a traffic violation that results in points being deducted, such as speeding or not wearing a helmet, it will definitely directly affect your C1 driver's license points. Because all vehicle violation records are counted under one account, accumulating 12 points could lead to the revocation of your license. I remember last year my neighbor ran a red light on his motorcycle and got points deducted, and even his car license was affected—he had to attend a remedial class. To avoid trouble, I recommend checking the details of the violation and always driving safely. Don't think that just driving a car means you're safe. If motorcycle issues aren't handled carefully, the consequences can be quite serious.
