Can a C1 License Drive a 9-Seater Blue Plate Vehicle?
2 Answers
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.
