What else is needed to obtain a D license with a C1 license?

C1 to D license upgrade requires passing subjects one, two, and three. Below is an introduction about C1: 1. Introduction: The C1 driver's license is a type of driver's license code that permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. 2. Requirements: Applicants can directly apply for a driver's license with their resident ID card anywhere in the country without submitting proof of residence registration. The examination subjects include traffic laws and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense. 3. Development: Starting from June 1, 2019, the nationwide 'one-certificate exam' for small car driver's licenses was implemented, allowing applicants to directly apply for a driver's license with their resident ID card anywhere in the country without submitting proof of residence registration. From June 1, 2019, small car driver's license exams can be taken in different locations for different subjects.

Hey, when I first got my C1 driver's license, I also wondered what other certifications I could pursue. While driving a car with a C1 license is convenient, riding a motorcycle is often more flexible in daily life, so I opted to get a D license, learning the operation and road test rules for three-wheeled motorcycles. The process was straightforward: first, I had to enroll in a driving school for a week of training, followed by theory and practical exams. After obtaining the D license, I had more options on the road—switching to a motorcycle during traffic jams made commuting much faster, and weekend trips to the countryside became more exciting. It's worth noting that getting a D license doesn't take up any quota and coexists with the C1 license, costing just around a thousand yuan. I also signed up for a defensive driving course, which isn't a mandatory certification but helps improve safety awareness—definitely a worthwhile investment. For those looking to drive special vehicles, considering a B or E license might be necessary, depending on personal needs. Overall, getting a D license is a cost-effective first step. Oh, and before the test, make sure to practice balance—don't underestimate it and risk tipping over. Safety always comes first.

As a city-based driver with a decade of C1 license experience, I sincerely recommend upgrading to a Class B license for career advancement. The C1 only covers private cars with limited earning potential, while a Class B license qualifies you for high-paying jobs like driving trucks and dump trucks. Obtaining a Class B requires additional training and a practical exam, which is slightly more challenging but offers substantial rewards—monthly earnings exceeding 10,000 RMB are achievable. After I obtained my Class B license two years ago, I immediately joined a freight company with stable job opportunities. Don’t forget to learn cargo load regulations to avoid overweight fines. If driving large vehicles isn’t appealing, consider a taxi qualification certificate—just a few hundred RMB for a written test to start ride-hailing. The Class B exam costs around 2,000 RMB and takes about a month, a worthwhile investment. Choose a reputable driving school—don’t cut corners and regret it later. The sooner you get certified, the sooner you benefit—don’t wait until opportunities arise to act hastily.

After driving a car for a long time, I felt my C1 driver's license wasn't enough, so I took the D license for motorcycles. The D license is easy to pick up—just pass the written test and field test after three days of training. With it, you can ride three-wheeled motorcycles, like those used by delivery guys, which are fuel-efficient and cool for commuting. Adding a D license to a C1 doesn't cost much, under a thousand yuan. I also recommend getting an emergency rescue certification to handle first aid in case of road accidents. Skip the E license—two-wheeled motorcycles have lower safety ratings. Choose based on your habits; for practicality, go with D.
