What are the requirements for upgrading from C1 to D license?
2 Answers
The requirements for upgrading from a C1 to a D driver's license are as follows: The C1 license must have been held for at least one year, and there should be no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before application. After the upgrade, the C1D license allows the holder to drive both two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles as defined by motorcycle regulations, while the original C1 authorized vehicle types remain unchanged. However, it is important to note that the C1D license only has 12 points per scoring cycle, so traffic rules must be strictly followed, and driving should be done cautiously. Process for upgrading from C1 to D: Submit an application at the local vehicle management office. Once the application is approved, proceed to a hospital for a physical examination. After the examination, bring the medical report, ID card, and application form to the vehicle management office for review. Upon approval, an exam will be scheduled. After passing the exam, the original C1 driver's license will be revoked, and a new C1D driver's license will be issued.
I was also curious before about how to upgrade from a C1 driver's license to a D license to drive a bus. The conditions are actually quite simple, but you need to pay attention to the details. First, you must have held a C1 license for at least one year—if it's too short, you won't be allowed to take the test. Also, there should be no record of drunk driving or accidents during this period, as safety comes first. Next, you need to pass a medical exam, ensuring your vision and other aspects meet the standards—driving with blurry vision due to glasses is not acceptable. Then, enroll in a driving school for training, which usually takes about a month, focusing on theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Don’t underestimate the theory part, as many people fail here. The cost is around 2,000 yuan, depending on the region. Pass the test, and you’re all set, but I recommend brushing up on some large vehicle driving techniques—don’t just think about saving money or effort.
