Can a C1 License Drive All Blue Plate Trucks?
1 Answers
C1 license does not necessarily allow driving all blue plate trucks. A C1 license can drive trucks up to 4.5 meters in length because the total length of trucks driven with a C1 license cannot exceed 6 meters. If the truck length exceeds 6 meters, it is classified as a large truck, which a C1 license cannot drive. In addition to large trucks, a C1 license also does not permit driving tractor-trailers, large buses, city buses, medium-sized buses, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. The scope of a C1 license includes small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Below is information on the four categories of heavy, medium, light, and micro vehicles: 1. Vehicle length ≥6m: Cargo vehicles with a total mass ≥12,000kg are classified as heavy cargo vehicles; 2. Vehicle length ≥6m: Cargo vehicles with a total mass ≥4,500kg and <12,000kg are classified as medium cargo vehicles; 3. Vehicle length <6m: Cargo vehicles with a total mass <4,500kg are classified as light cargo vehicles; 4. Vehicle length ≤3.5m: Cargo vehicles with a load capacity ≤750kg are classified as micro cargo vehicles.
