There are quite a few types of driving licenses for different vehicle classes. Common ones include Class C, such as C1 which allows driving manual transmission cars or SUVs, basically covering most vehicles with fewer than seven seats, suitable for commuting or family trips. C2 is for automatic transmission vehicles, which are simpler and more convenient to operate. Then there's Class B, like B1 which permits driving medium-sized buses, ideal for group travel or transporting relatives. Class A includes A1 for large buses and A2 for tractor-trailers, requiring extensive experience to qualify, mainly used for hauling goods or large machinery. For motorcycles, there are D, E, and F licenses—D for three-wheeled motorcycles, E for regular two-wheelers, and F for light scooters. M, N, P, etc., are for special vehicle types and are rarely used. When choosing a license, consider your vehicle needs; Class C is the most common and quickest to learn. I've seen many people fined for driving the wrong vehicle type, so it's better to understand the requirements clearly before taking the test.
