What does the C1D driver's license mean?
2 Answers
C1 and D driver's license refers to a combined driver's license that allows driving both C1 and D vehicle types. Among them, the C1 license covers small cars, while the D license covers ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles. C1: Small cars and small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars. Small and micro passenger cars, as well as light and micro trucks; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; small passenger cars with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. D: Three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum design speed greater than 50km/h, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. Application age: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. The application age for a D driver's license is 18 to 60 years old.
I obtained a C1D driver's license, which is essentially a combined certification allowing you to drive small cars and three-wheeled motorcycles. The C1 portion enables you to drive compact vehicles like sedans or vans, while the D portion permits operating three-wheeled motorcycles. I find this quite practical, especially when living in suburban areas or small towns, as it allows you to commute by car and use a three-wheeler for hauling goods. During the exam, you need to pass both the theoretical and road tests separately, which can be somewhat challenging, but thorough preparation will help you succeed. When driving, it's essential to prioritize safety—avoid speeding or driving while fatigued, and always adhere to traffic rules as the foundation. If you're considering getting a driver's license, the C1D is a flexible option that saves you the hassle of taking the D license separately.
