Hey, regarding the question of whether a car driver's license is C1 or C2, I've been driving for many years and feel it depends on which type of transmission you can handle. A C1 license allows you to drive both manual and automatic transmission cars, covering all types of small vehicles—it's a versatile choice. When I first learned to drive, I opted for C1. Although starting was a bit slower, practicing with a manual transmission made me more familiar with various driving conditions. Later, when I wanted to rent a car or go on long trips, encountering a manual transmission was no problem. In contrast, a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission cars. If you choose it for convenience, it might be easier, but if you ever come across a manual transmission car—like borrowing a friend's car or needing a car urgently—you'd be stuck. When learning to drive, it's best to consider practicality more. For daily commuting tools like cars, flexibility is always a good idea. Remember, don't just choose C2 because the test is easier; it limits your driving options. It's also important to regularly check for updates in driver's license policies.
I just got my driver's license and I'm struggling with this decision. Several friends told me C1 is more practical. The car driving license isn't fixed - C1 allows driving both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, covering regular passenger cars, while C2 is limited to automatic transmission only, with simpler tests but more restrictions. Friends suggest that if your goal is driving passenger cars, go directly for C1 to avoid future issues when changing or renting cars. Although learning manual transmission requires more effort, it builds more solid driving skills. My own research shows many domestic car rental companies have manual transmission vehicles in stock, and C2 holders would face limitations. Choosing C1 means covering all small vehicles at once, saving future hassles. I feel this decision will affect daily driving flexibility, so I need to listen to others' experiences to avoid regrets.
