I'm a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience. With a Class C license, you can drive vehicles with up to 9 seats, which I learned from my driving instructor. I've personally driven some 8-seater minivans to take friends out for trips. This is mainly because the Class C license is designed for small vehicles, and any vehicle with 9 or fewer seats falls under the category of small passenger vehicles. If you drive a vehicle exceeding 9 seats, like an 11-seater minivan, it's a violation, and you'll face points deduction and fines if caught by the police. In the city, driving these smaller vehicles is quite convenient—easy to park and fuel-efficient. If you want to drive larger vehicles, such as tour buses, you'll need to obtain a Class B license. Don't get them mixed up.
