Hi jaywidz and all
Just a update to what happen today ... I try and help people with all the paperwork involved in getting a chinese DL bike or just car. To make sure all is in order, now what i am going to say only applies to UK DL holders .This guy needed a C1E but only had class B on his UK DL for bikes its A or A1 for Uk DL holders, but if you passed a car test (B) before 1st February 2001 you do not need to take training before riding a moped on the road this is shown on your UK DL as category (P)
Mopeds with an engine size of up
to 50cc and a maximum speed of
up to 50km/h.
So with this in mind when we went to the translation office to get the UK DL translated in to chineses i took copy of the DVLA imformation on driving licences on a USB stick you could print it out and take a hard copy but i went down the line with a stick !

Go to the desk and ask the lady could you translate this UK DL and we need a C1E please ??? The lady looked at the DL and said no car only ... no sorry but it has category P as well . What is category "P" she asked i gave her the stick and asked to open the file to read what category P covers ...
comes back with the chineses translated paperwork to shown car/bike C1E .
Happy days ... i ask was all ok and she said could not open stick???
Now the point i am saying is catergory "p" covers you to ride a 50cc bike back in the UK but it still a bike as far i am concerned and does chinese law on a C1E
states at what CC it becomes a bike coverd under catergory C1E ?
It worked for me and my friend today took it to the police to check said all ok so booked the theory test for C1E with no bike DL for the UK
Maybe we was lucky
