Is the C1 driver's license difficult to obtain?
2 Answers
The C1 driver's license is not difficult to obtain. Here is some additional information: 1. The content of the C1 driver's license test: The main exams, Subject 1 and Subject 4, are theoretical tests. As long as you practice the questions in the question bank, it is relatively easy. Subject 2 is an indoor test, mainly assessing skills like reversing into a garage, parallel parking, uphill starts and stopping at designated points, right-angle turns, and curve driving, which are also manageable. Subject 3 is a road test, where you perform various driving scenarios as instructed. For beginners, driving slowly and maintaining a calm mindset makes it easier. 2. The C1 driver's license test content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. The test subjects are conducted in the following order: traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1), field driving (Subject 2), and road driving (Subject 3). If you fail a subject, the subsequent subjects will not proceed. Each subject can be taken once with one retake opportunity. If you fail the retake, the test is terminated. Within the validity period of the learning driver's license, you can reapply for the test. The maximum number of reapplications allowed is determined by the local traffic management authorities, with a minimum interval of 11 days between tests.
I just got my C1 driver's license, and it didn't feel particularly difficult, but it did require time to practice. It took me over two months. For the theory test in Subject 1, I relied on an app for practice—the number of questions was large, but once you grasped the patterns, it became easy. The reverse parking in Subject 2 was the toughest part, requiring repeated practice to get it right. During the road test in Subject 3, I was nervous, but my instructor kept simulating scenarios with me outside the exam. Finally, Subject 4 tested safe and civilized driving habits, which was quite practical. Remember not to slack off—practicing twice a week is usually enough to pass smoothly. Now, with the license in hand, driving feels incredibly smooth.
