What is a C1D driver's license?
3 Answers
c1d driver's license is an extension of the C1 license that includes the D license's permitted vehicle types. D refers to the motorcycle license, which covers ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. The C1 license permits driving small cars, including manual transmission, automatic transmission, low-speed trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles. Motorcycles are not within the scope of the C1 license, and driving a motorcycle with a C1 license will result in a one-time deduction of 12 points and a fine, and may even be treated as driving without a license. The C1D license covers small and micro passenger vehicles, with a total length not exceeding 6 meters.
I remember struggling with this question when I first started learning to drive. The C1 license is for small passenger vehicles, allowing you to drive regular cars, and it's the first license most people obtain. The D license is specifically for three-wheeled motorcycles, designed for delivery or cargo transportation bikes. Actually, there isn't a specific license called C1D, but many people get their D license after obtaining C1, which allows them to both drive cars and ride motorcycles, greatly increasing travel flexibility. Getting a license involves learning theory and practical driving, which doesn't take long but requires attention to detail. I recommend beginners start with the C1 license to get a steady start, and then consider the D license after becoming familiar with road conditions, which improves both safety and freedom. After all, riding a motorcycle is cool, but it's riskier, so wearing a helmet is absolutely essential.
I've been driving a taxi in the city for over ten years and hold both C1 and D licenses. The C1 license allows me to drive cars for passenger transport, while the D license enables me to use motorcycles for food delivery or small parcel deliveries. Switching between them during busy times saves time and improves efficiency. C1D actually refers to this combination, not a single type of driver's license. The process of obtaining a D license is straightforward, mainly focusing on practical motorcycle control skills—having an extra skill means more earning opportunities. Now, navigating through congested areas is much faster on a motorcycle, but it's essential to follow traffic rules and avoid speeding. I recommend office workers to get a C1D license for part-time jobs to enrich their lives. Driving both cars and motorcycles broadens your perspective and helps relieve stress.
