Process of changing from manual to automatic transmission in a driver's license test: Go to the driving school to handle the procedure, and make the change before taking the subject two test. The following is the relevant introduction of C2: 1. Permitted vehicles: small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. It can only drive automatic transmission cars with no more than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters. Only C2 is allowed, with no other permitted vehicle types. 2. Requirements for test vehicles: light automatic transmission ordinary cargo vehicles with a length of not less than 5 meters, or small automatic transmission ordinary passenger vehicles with a length of not less than 4 meters, or automatic transmission cars with a length of not less than 4 meters.
I've helped friends with the process of switching from manual to automatic driving license tests a few times. Simply put, you first need to contact the driving school to inform them about your intention to change the type, then fill out an application form or submit an application online. Usually, an additional fee of around one or two hundred yuan is required due to the different courses. If you've already started training, the driving school will help cancel your original plan and reschedule automatic transmission training and test content. The key point is that operating an automatic car without the hassle of a clutch makes it much easier to learn. Remember to contact them early to avoid delaying your test progress. The pass rate for automatic tests is higher, but the C2 license you obtain only allows you to drive automatic cars. In the long run, if you want to drive a manual car in the future, you'll have to retake the test, so think carefully about this. The entire process is basically handled by the driving school or the vehicle management office, and it's not difficult to operate. The key is proactive communication—don’t be afraid of the trouble, and spending a little extra money for peace of mind is worth it. Additionally, some people switch midway because manual operation is difficult, but honestly, automatic is indeed more suitable for beginners or busy professionals. I suggest considering carefully before making a move to avoid frequent changes that might waste your efforts.
