What is a C1D driver's license?
2 Answers
C1D is a combined driver's license for motor vehicles and motorcycles, which adds the permitted vehicle types of a motorcycle license to the base of a motor vehicle license. Those who have held a C1 driver's license for more than one year and have not accumulated 12 penalty points in the current scoring cycle or the most recent scoring cycle before application can apply for an additional D license. Classification of driver's licenses: Motor vehicle driver's licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, P. C1 driver's license: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. The permitted driving scope of a C1 driver's license includes small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with seating capacity of 9 or fewer people.
As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, the C1 and D licenses are truly the fundamentals. The C1 license is for small passenger vehicles, allowing you to drive cars, SUVs, and similar small vehicles, whether automatic or manual transmission. You need to pass both a theoretical written test and a practical road test. I remember those days of learning to drive, leaving early and returning late every day. The D license is for operating three-wheeled motorcycles, including electric three-wheelers. The test focuses more on balance and control, making it suitable for delivery or transportation work. Holding both C1 and D licenses broadens your driving scope—small cars for family use and leisure trips, three-wheelers for hauling goods and earning income. After obtaining these licenses, be cautious: undergo regular medical and vehicle inspections, and avoid drunk driving or speeding. I often see young drivers with D licenses getting into accidents while riding motorcycles—they really need to start with the basics and drive more steadily.
