There are quite a few differences in driver's licenses. Let's start with vehicle types. My friend got a C1 license, which allows driving manual transmission cars, while C2 only permits automatic transmission cars—less effort but fewer functions. A B license enables driving trucks for hauling goods and such. An A license is even more impressive, allowing you to drive large buses for passenger transport. The tests also vary: C licenses are simpler and quicker to obtain, while B licenses have tougher parking tests and take more time. Beginners are better off starting with a C license to avoid overly difficult tests. The type also affects driving experience requirements. For example, C license holders can't drive alone on highways during the 12-month probation period, but violations with a B license can extend this period. For safety, it's most practical to choose a license type based on actual needs rather than blindly aiming for higher levels.
