Well, I get this question a lot since I've driven quite a few 7-seaters. A C2 driver's license is perfectly fine for driving 7-seaters. I remember checking the traffic laws when I was getting my license - the C2 license allows driving small automatic transmission passenger vehicles with a rated capacity of no more than 9 people, so 7-seat MPVs like the Odyssey and GL8 are all within scope. The key point is that the vehicle must have automatic transmission; manual transmission won't do. When driving a 7-seater, pay attention to weight distribution and handling - for example, the larger body requires longer braking distances when turning, so I recommend new drivers practice in open areas first. Also, it's crucial to check the vehicle's lighting and braking systems, and ensure all passengers have seatbelts. Don't overload - safety first. In short, the regulations are clear - I've been driving 7-seaters for family trips for years without any issues.
