Conditions for upgrading from a C2 to a C1 driver's license: You need to hold a C2 driver's license, provide your ID card, and a health certificate. Apply at the vehicle management office that issued your C2 license. You must undergo training and pass the exams to obtain a C1 driver's license. If you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to add a permitted vehicle type, you must not have accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before applying. C1 driver's license exam: The exam consists of four subjects: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Passing standards: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (Subject 1) — written test, scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass. Field driving (Subject 2) — on-site, actual vehicle. The minimum passing score is 80; scores below 80 are failing. Road driving (Subject 3) — on the highway or a simulated site, actual vehicle. Scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass. Safe and civilized driving knowledge — written test, featuring questions in the form of case studies, images, and animations. The test includes true/false, single-choice, and multiple-choice questions, totaling 50 questions. Scored out of 100, with 90 or above required to pass.

As a young person who just upgraded to a C1 license last year, the process was actually quite straightforward. First, you need to hold a C2 license for at least one year with no major traffic violations, then enroll in a driving school to learn manual transmission skills for C1. The theory exam involves reviewing traffic rules, while the field and road tests require practicing gear shifting and clutch operation. A physical exam is mandatory, including vision checks. I remember spending some time practicing hill starts because manual cars tend to stall easily. The benefit of upgrading is being able to drive manual transmission vehicles, giving you more travel options. On the exam day, I was a bit nervous, but the instructor said familiarity with the vehicle would help me pass. After success, the C1 license is merged with your original license. The whole process takes a few weeks, so it's advisable to consult a reliable driving school in advance for details.

I'm an ordinary driver with over a decade of experience. The key requirements for upgrading from a C2 to C1 license are straightforward. You must have held a C2 license for at least one year without any serious traffic violations or accidents during that period. You also need to pass a physical examination, which includes vision and reaction tests. After registration, you'll need to pass all four C1 license tests: a theory exam on traffic knowledge, a yard test, and a road test to practice gear-shifting skills. When I upgraded, I found that manual transmission requires patience and practice, such as controlling the clutch properly when starting. The cost isn't high, just a few hundred yuan, but practice is crucial. After the upgrade, driving became more convenient as I could handle manual transmission vehicles, including older models. Remember to attend training sessions on time and never overlook safety.
