At the age of 20, you can directly apply for A3, B2, and all C-class and motorcycle driving licenses. Students receiving full-time driving vocational education who are at least 20 years old can apply for large passenger vehicles and tractor driving licenses. Information on the minimum age of 20 for applying for driving licenses: To apply for small cars: small automatic transmission cars, small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled, and light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. To apply for low-speed trucks: three-wheeled trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old. To apply for city buses: large trucks, trolleybuses, or tramcars, the applicant must be between 20 and 50 years old. According to Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," applicants for motor vehicle driving licenses must meet the following requirements: To apply for medium-sized passenger vehicles, the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old. To apply for tractors, the applicant must be between 24 and 50 years old. To apply for large passenger vehicles, the applicant must be between 26 and 50 years old. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driving License Business Work Standards" issued by the relevant authorities, motor vehicle driving licenses are implemented in a hierarchical system, dividing driving licenses into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each level are as follows: A1 driving license permits the operation of large passenger vehicles. A2 driving license permits the operation of tractors, heavy and medium-sized full trailers, and semi-trailer combinations. A3 driving license permits the operation of city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 driving license permits the operation of heavy passenger vehicles. B2 driving license permits the operation of heavy and medium-sized trucks, etc. C1 driving license permits the operation of small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini trucks; light and mini special-purpose vehicles.

E driving license permits the operation of two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml.

M driving license permits the operation of wheeled self-propelled machinery. N driving license permits the operation of trolleybuses. P driving license permits the operation of tramcars.
When I turned 20, I was finally eligible to take the C1 driver's license test, which made me extremely happy as I felt much more liberated. When I enrolled at the driving school, the instructor said 20 is the perfect age to learn driving—full of energy and quick to pick up skills. The process included a medical checkup, theoretical study, the subject one exam, followed by yard practice and the road test. It took me two months, practicing three times a week, costing around five thousand yuan. Now, after driving for half a year, I've mastered reverse parking and parallel parking, making my commute much more convenient. I recommend young people to get their license early because the tests are getting stricter, and obtaining it sooner saves hassle. Don’t forget to choose a good driving school—friends all say reputation matters. After getting my license, my first road trip felt amazing, broadening my horizons and honing my independence. Always prioritize safety when driving—no speeding, no drunk driving.
