Yes, a C1 driver's license allows you to drive automatic cars. Shortly after I got my license, my driving instructor mentioned that the C1 covers both manual and automatic transmission cars. Driving an automatic is so convenient—the automatic gear shifting eliminates the need for clutch operation, making it easier for beginners to hit the road. However, it's important to note that the C1 test is conducted with a manual transmission car, so switching to an automatic might take some getting used to, especially with the throttle sensitivity. It's advisable to practice in the neighborhood first to get a feel for it. Automatic cars are less tiring in traffic jams, and the engine responds more quickly. Overall, the license is designed very reasonably, so you can drive with confidence.
