Will points deducted for riding a motorcycle with a C1E license affect a car?

Having a C1E driver's license and receiving points for riding a motorcycle will affect the car license, because each driver only has one driver's license. Adding an E endorsement to a C1 license does not mean the driver has two licenses; it simply means the original license now includes the motorcycle endorsement. In simple terms, no matter how many vehicle types are added, the driver's license will ultimately be merged into one, and all these vehicle types share the same 12-point system. Therefore, no matter what type of vehicle is driven, if a traffic violation occurs and points are deducted, the available points for all endorsed vehicle types will be reduced accordingly. In other words, the more vehicle types endorsed, the more traffic regulations need to be paid attention to, and the higher the likelihood of points being deducted from the license. C1 Driver's License: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The C1 license allows the holder to drive small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles, and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people.
If you get penalty points on your C1E license for riding a motorcycle, it will definitely affect your car driving. I've been driving a car for over ten years, and the points on your license are calculated as a total score. For example, if you run a red light on a motorcycle and get 6 points deducted, and then speed in a car for another 6 points, once you reach 12 points, you won't be able to drive any vehicle temporarily. Once, a friend of mine got 9 points deducted for a motorcycle violation, and later got more points deducted for a car violation, which resulted in having to attend a course and take a test to restore the license, affecting daily life and work. I recommend regularly checking your points on the Traffic Management 12123 app—don’t assume that different vehicle types have separate point systems. Safety should always come first. Follow the rules while driving, minimize distractions, and protect those 12 points carefully. Otherwise, not being able to drive the family car to pick up the kids or commute would be a huge hassle. After all, every point is related to road safety—better safe than sorry.
I have personally experienced how penalty points from riding a motorcycle can affect driving a car. The driver's license point system is universal - whether you violate traffic rules on a motorcycle or in a car, the penalty points accumulate on the same driving record. If you reach 12 points, your license will be suspended and you'll need to attend a remedial course, during which you can't drive any vehicle, including cars. My neighbor got 6 points for speeding on his motorcycle, then later forgot and got more points while driving his car, resulting in a short-term driving ban that affected his commute. From a safety perspective, traffic violations in any vehicle indicate problematic driving habits. I recommend regularly checking your point record and maintaining good habits to avoid speeding or running red lights. When riding motorcycles, always wear helmets and obey traffic signals - this ensures long-term driving peace of mind. Don't let momentary impulses ruin your mobility convenience.
