As someone who frequently drives various car models, I believe a C2 license is fully capable of driving an automated manual transmission (AMT) vehicle. This is because the C2 license is specifically designed for automatic transmission vehicles, and an AMT car is essentially still an automatic transmission vehicle—it just adds a manual mode option to the standard automatic transmission, allowing the driver to shift gears manually when needed. I have personally driven this type of car and found it very convenient, especially suitable for urban road conditions, as it doesn't require frequent clutch pressing like a manual transmission. Some people worry about the limitations of a C2 license, but in reality, as long as the vehicle has an automatic transmission, C2 license holders can drive it without needing to upgrade to a C1. I recommend beginners choose a C2 license—it's easier to learn, reduces stress during driving lessons, and most modern cars come with AMT functionality, making daily commutes much easier.

I recently obtained my C2 driver's license and am currently driving a semi-automatic car. From a beginner's perspective, this is completely legal and safe. I remember when I was learning to drive at the driving school, I chose C2 specifically to avoid the hassle of manual transmission. Now driving a semi-automatic feels amazing - it shifts gears automatically, but when I want to experience manual control, I just use the paddle shifters or buttons, which doesn't affect the license requirements. The core concept of the C2 license is simplified operation without worrying about the clutch, so semi-automatic cars are 100% compliant. Personally, I think choosing C2 was wise - it saved me the extra time needed for a C1 license, and nowadays many family cars come with automatic transmission plus manual mode. The driving is smooth, reducing embarrassing stall situations during starts, and it's much more relaxing in traffic jams.

Technically speaking, a C2 license is definitely qualified to drive a semi-automatic transmission vehicle. The C2 driver's license is designed for automatic transmission vehicles, and a semi-automatic is a type of automatic transmission. It employs an electronic control system internally, and although it offers manual shifting options, the core mechanism remains automatic, requiring no manual clutch operation. Therefore, it fully falls within the scope of the C2 license. If you're considering buying a car, this type of vehicle is very common, and there are absolutely no issues for C2 license holders to drive it.
