How many seats can a C-class license drive?
2 Answers
C-class licenses are divided into C1, C2, C3, and C4. Among them, the C1 license is the most common and widely used driving type. C1 allows driving small cars and automatic transmission vehicles, C2 only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles, C3 is exclusively for low-speed trucks, and C4 is for three-wheeled vehicles. Based on the largest vehicle category within the C-class license range, the maximum number of seats allowed is no more than 9. Below is some information about the C1 driver's license: 1. Introduction: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driving licenses. The C1 license covers driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light, micro trucks, and light, small, micro special-purpose vehicles (including all models under C2, C3, and C4). The examination subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. 2. Notes: Generally, the license can be renewed within 90 days before its expiration date. However, if the license expires and is not renewed, it is considered driving without a license, and driving on the road is prohibited.
When it comes to how many seats a Class C license can drive, I've been driving for many years and can tell you the standard is vehicles with no more than 9 seats. I often drive small vans or SUVs that comfortably seat 7-8 people without overloading, and they're stable on the road. Why is the limit set at 9 seats? Larger vehicles have poorer braking performance and are prone to rollovers. The police enforce this strictly, and exceeding the seat limit will result in fines and penalty points. I've even seen cases where people modified rear seats to add extra seating and got heavily fined, so always count the seats carefully when buying a car or taking jobs. During peak travel seasons, people often ask if they can drive minibuses - those have at least 11 seats and require a Class B license for safer operation. For daily use, a Class C license for small cars is very convenient, just remember not to exceed passenger limits - safety first.
