You can drive an automatic transmission car with a C1 license. The vehicle types permitted with a C1 license include: 1. Small and mini passenger cars, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles; 2. Light and mini specialized operation vehicles; 3. Small and mini automatic transmission passenger cars and light, mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles; 4. Low-speed cargo vehicles and three-wheeled cars. The C1 driver's license is a type of license code, and the examination subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. Vehicles that cannot be driven with a C1 license: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams.

Holding a C1 driver's license allows you to drive automatic transmission vehicles without any issues. This is because the scope of a C1 license covers both manual and automatic transmission small vehicles, including common sedans or SUVs with automatic transmissions, which fall under the C1 category. According to traffic regulations, the permitted vehicle types for a C1 license are small passenger cars and light-duty trucks, typically with engine displacements ranging from 1.0L to 1.6L, and automatic transmission vehicles belong to this category. When obtaining a C1 license, you learn basic driving skills that cover various transmission types, so driving an automatic transmission vehicle requires no additional training or restrictions. In daily life, many of my friends use their C1 licenses to commute with automatic transmission cars, finding it both convenient and safe. Of course, if you intend to drive vehicles with engine displacements exceeding the limit or special vehicle types, a higher-level license may be required, but ordinary automatic transmission vehicles are absolutely no problem.

Of course you can drive an automatic car! After getting my C1 driver's license, I've been driving automatic cars without any trouble. The C1 license is specifically for small vehicles, and automatic cars are much simpler to operate since you don't need to use the clutch or shift gears, making them ideal for daily driving. Traffic regulations clearly state that the C1 license covers both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, so you don't need to worry about breaking any rules. Whether it's city commuting or long-distance travel, automatic cars offer more comfort and require less effort, perfectly suiting the needs of a C1 license holder. From my experience, driving an automatic actually reduces stress for new drivers, and driving instructors typically teach the basics of both types of vehicles during lessons. Just remember to check if your car meets the engine displacement requirements, usually between 1.0 to 1.6L. In short, feel free to drive an automatic with your C1 license—it's both easy and legal.

Yes, a C1 driver's license allows you to drive automatic transmission vehicles. The C1 license covers small automatic cars, such as common family sedans or compact SUVs. As you learned in driving school, the C1 test includes handling different transmissions, so driving an automatic is no problem. This is thanks to the design of the licensing system, as automatic cars are well-suited for everyday driving in terms of safety and ease of use. I often see drivers with a C1 license using automatics, which eliminates the hassle of manual shifting. Just make sure the vehicle doesn't exceed the engine displacement limit to avoid violations. Overall, it's perfectly fine.
