What category does a small automatic car belong to?

[OSavannah]

Among small car driving licenses, the most common ones are C1 and C2. Manual transmission usually refers to C1, while automatic transmission typically refers to the C2 license. Permitted vehicle types for C2: The C2 license permits driving small and mini passenger cars, as well as light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Compared to C1, the permitted vehicle types for C2 are somewhat narrower. Apart from its own permitted vehicle types, C2 license holders can only drive vehicles allowed by the C5 license. Category C license codes: C1—Small car license (includes all vehicle types permitted by C2, C3, and C4 licenses). C2—Small automatic transmission car license. C3—Low-speed cargo vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles. C4—Three-wheeled vehicles. C5—Special small automatic transmission passenger cars for disabled individuals (referring to five categories of people: those with right lower limb disabilities, both lower limb disabilities, hearing impairments, missing right thumb, or finger end joint defects).

I've been driving small cars for over a decade, always using a C2 license. Small automatic transmission vehicles fall under the C2 category. C1 is for manual transmission cars, like those with a clutch, while C2 only tests automatic transmission operation. I remember choosing C2 when I first learned to drive because it's simpler to operate—no constant gear shifting, making city traffic much less stressful. Automatic transmission cars offer smoother handling, perfect for daily commutes and short trips. The process for obtaining a C2 license is also convenient, with quick driving school training and affordable prices. Just a reminder: don't drive the wrong type of car; mismatched licenses can lead to points deducted and safety risks. I recommend beginners start with C2 to gain experience before considering an upgrade.

I often encounter customers asking about this at the auto repair shop. Small automatic transmission cars are indeed classified under the C2 driver's license, while C1 is specifically for manual transmission. The C2 test focuses on the coordination of the accelerator and brake, without the need to touch the clutch. Automatic transmission cars have lower maintenance rates and are easier to drive, especially for female drivers who can pick it up quickly. It's important to regularly check the transmission to avoid malfunctions that could affect driving. Choosing the right type of driver's license can save on maintenance costs, and driving schools have professional instructors to guide you through the C2 course. The core of safe driving is understanding the rules and not breaking them, ensuring every trip is smooth and enjoyable.

I just passed my C2 driver's license test, which is specifically for automatic transmission cars. Those small automatic cars fall under the C2 category, while C1 requires learning manual transmission, which is too troublesome. The test process went smoothly without clutch interference, making the drive much smoother. Automatic cars are more flexible for city commuting and easier to park. I'd like to remind everyone to confirm the vehicle type before signing up to avoid wasting time learning the wrong one. During practice, pay more attention to road conditions to gain experience. Driving a C2 car is both convenient and practical.
