Can a Class C License Drive a 9-Seater Business Vehicle?

[Lee]

C1 license holders can drive small passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including 9 seats), light and small cargo vehicles with a total mass of 4,500 kg or less (including 4,500 kg), a vehicle length of 6 meters or less (including 6 meters), and an approved load capacity of 1,500 kg or less (including 1,500 kg). Traffic police verification is based on the vehicle registration certificate (must be a small vehicle). The specific vehicle types that a C1 license can drive and the regulations on how many seats a C1 license can drive are as follows: 1. Vehicles with blue license plates: Generally, small vehicles with blue license plates can be driven with a C1 license. 2. Manual or automatic transmission minivans or business vehicles with 9 seats or fewer (including 9 seats): A C1 license can also drive these. Vehicles with more than 9 seats cannot be driven, even if they have blue license plates. 3. All small automatic or manual transmission cars: A C1 license can drive these, as they are the basic vehicles permitted for a C1 license. Light, small, and micro special-purpose operation vehicles can also be driven with a C1 license, but these require approval from relevant departments. 4. General light and micro cargo vehicles under 1.5 tons: A C1 license can drive these, provided the total length of the vehicle does not exceed 6 meters. 5. New regulation: As of 2017, a C1 license does not permit riding motorcycles.
