It is more convenient to travel alone and ride a motorcycle, do not worry about traffic jams and no need to worry about no place to park, low fuel consumption and low travel costs. Therefore, many people who have motorcycles at home are willing to travel by motorcycle. However, motorcycles are also motor vehicles, and like driving a car, they must strictly abide by traffic laws, and if they do not obey traffic rules, they will be fined for running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, and driving into restricted areas. Then some people have questions, if I ride a motorcycle and need to deduct points, should I deduct points for my motorcycle license or a car license?
First of all, if you don't have a car license and only a motorcycle license, then there is no doubt that of course only the points for the motorcycle license will be deducted. Secondly, if you have both a car license and a motorcycle license, then the demerit points are deducted from this driver's license, and there is no distinction between points for cars and motorcycles. That is to say, if you have both licenses, then they need to be merged together, and a person can only have one motor vehicle driver's license, whether you are C1 or C2, whether you are E or D, they are all combined. The driver's license is this one, which indicates your quasi-driving type, the common ones are C1D and C2D, that is, this driver's license can drive both cars and motorcycles.
So since the driver's licenses are combined, the points are shared, and a driver's license has a total of 12 points, whether it is a car violation or a motorcycle violation, these 12 points are deducted. It's not that as some people say, motorcycles have 12 points, cars also have 12 points, the two do not affect each other, which violates the rules and deducts which points, which is incorrect. Someone said, can I not merge? Or if I first took the driver's license for a motorcycle and then a car, can I have two driver's licenses? No, no matter which driver's license I take first, it must be combined, and the two quasi-driving types share 12 points. After the merger, all the types of vehicles allowed to drive will be displayed on the license, which is convenient for management, and the driver only needs to carry this license when he goes out. It is also convenient for the traffic police to inspect on the spot, just look at this one. If you don't merge, you will have a copy of A certificate, a copy of B certificate, a C certificate, and another D certificate, which will be very troublesome to carry and check, and the deduction of points will be very confusing.
There is also a situation where you do not have a motorcycle license but have a car license, and if you need to deduct points, then the car license will be deducted. Of course, this is also a relatively serious offense, and it belongs to driving a motor vehicle that does not match the type of vehicle that is allowed to drive. This is not considered driving without a license, because you have a car driver's license, the motorcycle is a motor vehicle, and the driver's license you have is also a motor vehicle, but your C1 cannot ride a motorcycle, which is called driving and the type of driving does not match. Previously, there were many points deducted for this violation, and 12 points were deducted. However, after April 1, 2022, the standard of demerit points for this violation has been lowered, and the driving of a motor vehicle that does not match the type of vehicle that is allowed to drive has been reduced to 9 points, which many people still do not know. However, this is also a relatively high deduction point, more than running a red light, but fortunately, the points are deducted without one time, and you have to take the subject once, which saves a lot of trouble.
The last case is that you have neither a motorcycle license nor a car license, which does not deduct points because there is no license to deduct. But this is a very serious offense and falls under the category of driving a motor vehicle without a license. The penalty for driving without a license is generally a fine of not less than 200 yuan but not more than 2,000 yuan, and may be detained for up to 15 days. The amount of fines is significant, but what scares a lot of people more is detention, which is very likely if the circumstances of your offense are serious, or if you have a traffic accident. Therefore, do not drive without a license, even in rural areas, and do not drive a motorcycle without a license.
To sum up, each person can only have one driver's license, but there can be several different types of drivers. A driver's license has a total of 12 points, no matter which type of quasi-driving needs to be deducted, it will be deducted from these 12 points, and 12 points will be deducted after the need to re-study and test subject 1. Therefore, no matter what kind of motor vehicle you drive, you should obey the traffic rules, and don't think that there is no one to take care of riding a motorcycle, and there are few snapshots, so you can ride at will. Once there is a serious violation of the law that results in the deduction of 12 points on the driver's license, not only can you not ride a motorcycle, but you will also not be able to drive a car.
