C1 license can drive a 9-seater blue plate vehicle. Here are additional details: 1. Vehicles with blue license plates: Generally, C1 license holders can drive small vehicles with blue license plates. 2. Manual or automatic 9-seater (including 9-seater) mini vans or commercial vehicles: Vehicles with more than 9 seats cannot be driven, even if they have blue plates. 3. C1 driving scope: There are significant restrictions on the number of passengers. First, it is stipulated that C1 license holders can only drive vehicles with 9 seats or fewer. Once the number of passengers exceeds 9, the vehicle falls into the category of medium-sized buses, which requires a B1 license to drive. There are also requirements for the vehicle's weight. The regulations clearly state that C1 license holders cannot drive vehicles with a total weight exceeding 4.5 tons.

As an ordinary person who has been driving for many years, I can tell you that driving a 9-seater blue license plate vehicle with a C1 driver's license is completely fine. Blue license plate vehicles refer to small cars, with seating capacity including the driver not exceeding 9, which is exactly what a C1 license covers. I remember last year when I helped a friend drive a 9-seater business van with a blue plate, it was smooth sailing all the way. However, do note that the number of seats must not exceed 9, otherwise it might be illegal. If you're unsure, it's best to check the information on the vehicle's registration certificate to avoid trouble. Also, always follow traffic rules when driving, don't overload, safety first—this is the basic principle I've learned from experience.

From a regulatory perspective, I understand that a C1 driver's license permits driving small passenger vehicles with no more than 9 occupants, and blue license plates precisely identify such vehicles. This means you can absolutely drive a 9-seater blue-plated vehicle with a C1 license without worrying about violations. China's traffic regulations clearly define this, with the category of small vehicles including those with blue plates. I recommend regularly checking vehicle documents during daily driving to ensure full compliance and avoid unnecessary risks, thus protecting yourself and preventing fines. Extra caution should be taken regarding details if the vehicle is an older model or multi-purpose type.

Absolutely drivable. Holders of a C1 driver's license can legally operate a 9-seater blue-plate vehicle, as blue plates indicate small-sized vehicles. I must emphasize: always verify the actual seating capacity before driving to ensure it doesn't exceed 9 seats for safety compliance. Overcrowding is a common road violation - never compromise safety. My advice: regularly check the vehicle registration certificate or consult professionals for absolute certainty.

I believe driving safety is the core. Driving a 9-seater blue-plate vehicle with a C1 license is legally permitted, as blue plates indicate small vehicle category. From daily observations, I've noticed this type of vehicle often causes confusion about its permissibility, but it's actually completely feasible. The key is to ensure the vehicle is in good condition and not overloaded with passengers; during long-distance driving, pay extra attention to fatigue driving and comply with regulations. To prevent accidents, I often plan routes in advance and familiarize myself with local traffic rules.
