c2 can drive semi-automatic transmission vehicles. The vehicle types permitted with a C2 license include small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles; light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Furthermore, semi-automatic transmission vehicles are actually a variant of automatic transmission vehicles and essentially fall under the automatic transmission category, with the leftmost pedal being the foot brake parking brake. Here are some additional details: 1. If a C2 license holder drives a manual transmission vehicle, it will be treated as driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted license type, which essentially counts as driving without a license. This results in a one-time deduction of 12 points, a fine, and possibly up to 15 days of detention. If manual transmission vehicle driving is required, one can obtain a C1 license by retaking the C1 license exams from subjects one to four. 2. With a C1 driver's license, both automatic and manual transmission cars can be driven, but a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles. The difference between obtaining a C1 and C2 license lies in vehicle operation, while the exam difficulty and grading standards remain the same.

When I was learning to drive, I chose the C2 license because it's simpler—no need to worry about the clutch or shifting gears. The instructor mentioned that a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles, including popular models with manual/automatic transmissions like Volkswagen's DSG or BMW's common tiptronic. While driving, I can leave it in D mode and let it run automatically, but switching to manual mode for gear changes isn't allowed and could be illegal since the C2 license doesn't cover manual operation. Beginners often get curious and try manual mode once, only to be lectured by the police for exceeding the license scope. If you have a car with a manual/automatic transmission, it's fine to stick with automatic mode. If you plan to drive a pure manual car in the future, it's advisable to upgrade to a C1 license—just practice more.
