1 Answers
No, a C1 license cannot drive a C5 vehicle. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the scope of a C1 license includes small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Small passenger vehicles must have a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Individuals with disabilities in the right lower limb or both lower limbs can apply for a special driving license for small automatic transmission passenger vehicles designed for the disabled, designated as C5. The vehicles they can drive include small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles specifically for the disabled. The restriction to small passenger vehicles primarily addresses the travel needs of disabled individuals, and for now, it does not include cargo vehicles involved in commercial operations. The limitation to automatic transmission vehicles is mainly due to their ease of operation, which is the international standard for disabled drivers. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Business Operation Specifications" issued by the relevant authorities, motor vehicle driving licenses are classified into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P.
