What are the differences between automatic and manual transmission in the driving test?
1 Answers
Differences between automatic and manual transmission driving tests: 1. Different licenses: The license for manual transmission is the C1 driver's license, while for automatic transmission it's the C2 driver's license. A C1 license holder can drive vehicles covered under C2, but a C2 license holder cannot drive vehicles covered under C1. 2. Different vehicle types allowed: The C1 license permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles, and small passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats. The C2 license permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles, and small automatic transmission passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats. 3. Different driving difficulties: Learning to drive a manual transmission is more challenging than an automatic transmission. Since automatic transmission vehicles do not have a clutch, they use a hydraulic transmission that automatically shifts within a certain range of gears under the control of the brake and accelerator, replacing the function of the clutch. Therefore, driving an automatic transmission vehicle is simpler, more convenient, and smoother than driving a manual transmission vehicle.
