    I've been riding motorcycles for 20 years here in China.. I never took a test.. They didn't know what to do then so just gave me one.. Tests are straightforward if you have a foreign license.. Someone has said things about a tourist driving license but trust me.. There is no way you can be prepared for driving on the roads in this country. The only thing that works is experience.. Catch 22...

    It is illegal to ride in China without a Chinese motorcycle license. Overseas driving licenses (with the exception of a few places) and International Driving Permits are not recognized in China.

    The costs associated with, and ease or difficulty of obtaining Chinese driving licenses can vary from province to province, autonomous region to autonomous region and city region to city region. Some smaller cities and cities that prohibit motorcycles will not issue licenses. In autonomous regions that have security difficulties it likely to be much more difficult for a foreign nationals to get a Chinese motorcycle license. National laws are also 'interpreted' and this interpretation becomes in essence, the local law.

    Many foreign riders have ridden in China without a Chinese motorcycle license successfully, some even for years. It would seem bigger, wealthier cities can and do take licenses seriously, whereas smaller cities and rural areas may or may not take things as seriously at all, or may only take things seriously on a purge basis or in the event of an accident. Also as time passes the whole country is taking driving laws more seriously. 'Taking things seriously' could potentially mean 15 days detention in a detention center or even being deported. Easier to enforce rules are enforced first. So speeding, traffic signals, vehicle registration, insurance and driving license checks are top of the list.

    Recent rules suggest that you can get a full Chinese driving license transferred or do the complete test as long as you have 6 months remaining on your visa (any kind). These rules are interpreted differently in different places, so there could be a variation between how much length remains on your visa or which visa type is acceptable. Also that theoretically you could get a temporary license, but as an independent visitor it is unlikely that one could be issued unless for a car, but it's worth asking.

    The test was rewritten in 2013.

    Cuz... So.. I guess you are fluent in Chinese and regularly go for long rides, chew the fat over a few beers and scoobies with the "gorillas" ... So.. I guess you are talking from experience.. Good for you as there are so many ignorant wankers who ride motorcycles... Lucky you're not one of them eh.. Kia kaha..

    As an educated person you will be more than aware that had it not been for the Dutch the whole issue of Taiwan would never have got so complicated.. Show a Dutch license to a Chinese traffic cop and he's more than likely to bend you over and leave a deposit in your diplomatic bag.

    jon, I'm not reading your blog. Why you think that riding in China to 20 years gives you all the personal answers is beyond me. I have a long extensive motorcycling CV that might trump yours for all you know, yet I see no need to rely on it as a reason to be adamant that all my opinions must be 100% correct start some blog as some kind of authority and everyone else's need to be shouted down, even if most of the time we actually agree.

    This is us a forum, the idea is we listen to each other's opinions, digest them argue them out in an ideally polite manner and come to a consensus. See if I have 12 years experience in my region, Forum user A has 15 years in Guangdong province, forum user B has 10 years in Beijing and hebei, user C 15 in Shanghai, forum user D 25 years in Sichuan, when we add these years up with our consensus, it trumps the opinion of any one forum user, as together there are lifetimes of riding, ideas and opinions.

    Taiwan was a Dutch colony in the 1600's, but what that has to do with anything about your Chinese motorcycle license is beyond me. Jonsims apparently is suggesting that mainland Chinese police officers all hold some severe animosity toward the Dutch because of their involvement with Taiwan... which is a senseless, ridiculous insinuation. If his logic made any sense, me and my fellow American friends would probably all be banned from China permanently based on past and current US involvement with Taiwan. As an educated person, I'd pretty much ignore him.

    Back to reality: Your NZ license has a motorcycle endorsement? If so, the process is relatively painless to get a Chinese C1E license (C1 is for cars, E is the motorcycle endorsement... so you'll be able to drive cars and motorcycles).

    The point Jon made was meant to be ridiculous just as the statements made by other members about how a Dutch / Poland person can optain a full Chinese DL without taking the test !
