What is the C category for driving tests for small cars?

[VanClayton]

There are two types of small car licenses: C1 and C2. Among them, C1 is a manual transmission driving license, which allows driving small and micro passenger cars, light and micro cargo trucks, as well as light and micro special-purpose vehicles; it also permits driving vehicles under the C2, C3, and C4 categories. On the other hand, C2 is an automatic transmission driving license, which allows driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars and light and micro automatic transmission cargo trucks. Below is the application process for small car driving licenses C1/C2: 1. Bring the original and a copy of your ID card to the driving school registration point to register and wait for the arrangement of theoretical study time (non-local students need a temporary residence permit, which the driving school can help process); 2. Undergo a medical examination, including ECG, blood pressure, height, weight, hearing, grip strength, back strength, vision, and color vision, all of which must pass; 3. Take the tests (all four subjects must be passed). 4. Collect the driving license by presenting your ID card at the registration point to receive the driving license.

When I was getting my car driver's license, I checked some relevant information. Generally, 'car' refers to the license type for small vehicles, commonly known as C1 or C2 in China. C1 represents manual transmission cars, which require learning to control the clutch and gear shifting, making it more challenging and suitable for those who want to drive various types of vehicles. C2 is for automatic transmission cars, which are simpler as the gear shifting is fully automatic, making it easier to learn, especially for beginners. Nowadays, many new cars are automatic, so many people directly choose to take the C2 test. I took the C2 test myself, and the process was much easier. I suggest you first consider what kind of car you will drive most often before deciding which type to go for. During the test, practice driving more and pay attention to safety awareness, such as mastering the parking test. If you usually drive automatic cars, taking the C2 test will definitely save you time and effort. Finally, don’t forget some small details, like wearing glasses if you are nearsighted to meet the vision requirements. Getting a driver's license is a good thing; it makes driving much more flexible once you have it.

When it comes to getting a driver's license for cars, I've heard many people discuss this topic. Car licenses are mainly divided into two types: C1 for manual transmission and C2 for automatic transmission. The manual transmission is called C1, which requires mastering clutch operation, and the test has many challenges, such as stalling on hill starts. The automatic transmission C2 is relatively simpler, as the car shifts gears automatically, making the operation more straightforward. I took the manual transmission test once but later switched to automatic, which was much easier. I recommend choosing based on your needs—if you often drive manual transmission cars, go for C1; otherwise, C2 is more convenient. Nowadays, automatic transmission cars are common in cities, and the pass rate for the test is higher, so many people save time by choosing it. For preparation, I suggest practicing driving more, finding a good coach to guide you on techniques, and paying attention to rules, such as not missing the theoretical test part. Learning to drive can increase life convenience, but don’t overlook safety—get into the habit of checking the vehicle before driving. In short, a driver's license is a pass, and choosing the right type can make life smoother.

The types of small car driving licenses are simply referred to as C1 or C2. C1 is a manual transmission license, which requires manual gear shifting and involves some technical skills, allowing you to drive more types of vehicles. C2 is an automatic transmission license, which is simpler to operate and suitable for beginners. I recommend taking the C2 license because most cars nowadays are automatic, and the test is easier to pass. Remember, safety comes first, so choose the right type before registering.
