What is a C1F driver's license and what vehicles can it drive?

[HaleyDella]

The C1F driver's license is a combined license of the C1 and F driver's licenses. Holding this license allows the driver to operate all vehicle types permitted by both the C1 and F licenses. Since each driver can only hold one driver's license, when additional vehicle types are added to an existing license, the two permitted vehicle types are merged into one license, resulting in this combined form. The specific details are as follows: C1 driver's license: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the C1 license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro cargo vehicles; light and micro special-purpose vehicles. The small passenger vehicles driven must not exceed 9 seats, and the cargo vehicles must not exceed 6 meters in length. Additionally, the C1 license permits driving all vehicle types allowed by the C2, C3, and C4 licenses. The C1 license examination consists of four subjects, conducted in the following order: traffic laws and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1), field driving (Subject 2), road driving (Subject 3), and safety and common sense (Subject 4). F driver's license: The F code represents the license for lightweight motorcycles, allowing the operation of motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less and a maximum design speed of 50km/h or less. The F license is the lowest level among motorcycle licenses, with an application age range of 18 to 70 years. The F license does not permit driving any other vehicle types. Like the C1 license, the motorcycle license examination also consists of four subjects, conducted in the same order. Requirements for adding a motorcycle license to a C1 license include: No full-point record in the current scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before application. Possession of a C1 license for more than one year, i.e., completion of the probationary period. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" issued by the relevant authorities, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into a hierarchical system, dividing licenses into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The vehicle types permitted by each license level are as follows: A1 license: Permits driving large passenger vehicles. A2 license: Permits driving tractors and heavy or medium full or semi-trailer vehicle combinations. A3 license: Permits driving urban buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 license: Permits driving heavy passenger vehicles. B2 license: Permits driving heavy and medium cargo vehicles, etc. C2 license: Permits driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, etc. C3 license: Permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license: Permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). D license: Permits driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml. E license: Permits driving two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml. M license: Permits driving wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles. N license: Permits driving trolleybuses. P license: Permits driving tramcars.

When it comes to the C1 driver's license, I've been driving for many years. This type of license allows you to drive small cars with a total weight not exceeding 4,500 kg and seating for up to 9 people, such as regular sedans like the Accord, SUVs like the Haval H6, or vans like the Wuling Hongguang. It does not permit driving large trucks or buses, which require a B license. Additionally, the F license is for lightweight motorcycles under 50cc, such as small electric scooters. The term 'C1F' might be a mix-up someone wrote by mistake; in reality, you need to obtain the C1 and F licenses separately. When getting your driver's license, it's important to practice reversing and city driving extensively, and don't rush to take a new car onto the highway. Safety is the top priority—I've seen accidents caused by inexperienced drivers making mistakes. Always checking your vehicle's condition is a good practice.
