What is the C Class for Manual Transmission?

[DelArthur]

Manual transmission falls under the C1 driver's license. Here is some information about the manual transmission driver's license: 1. C1 Overview: C1 is a code for a type of permitted driving license. C1 refers to a license that permits driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, as well as light and micro specialized operation vehicles. It also allows driving vehicles covered under C2, C3, and C4 license categories. 2. Application Requirements: To apply for a small car, small automatic transmission car, small automatic transmission passenger car for the disabled, or light motorcycle, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old.

A manual transmission corresponds to a C1 driver's license. I took the C1 test myself. For this test, you need to practice manual-specific skills like hill starts and shifting gears within 100 meters. Although it's more challenging than the C2 test, passing it allows you to drive both manual and automatic vehicles. You can drive the family's old manual car or handle a rental with a manual transmission without any worries—it's super practical. I highly recommend young people to go for the C1 license. Spending an extra half-month practicing will give you unrestricted driving options for decades to come.

A C1 license is required to drive manual transmission vehicles, while a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission cars. Back when I was getting my driver's license, my instructor made it clear: if you want the driving pleasure of pressing the clutch and shifting gears, you need to apply for a C1 license. Nowadays, automatic transmission cars are everywhere, and getting a C2 license is indeed much easier. However, if one day you need to drive a friend's manual transmission pickup truck or light truck on the road, not having a C1 license could be quite awkward. For those who want to fully unlock driving freedom, I recommend going straight for the C1 license.

Manual transmission vehicles require a C1 driver's license. The difference lies in the fact that the test vehicle for a C2 license doesn't have a clutch pedal, making the entire process much simpler. However, obtaining a C1 license is like gaining full driving privileges—you can effortlessly drive automatic transmissions and also enjoy the operational feel of manual transmissions. Many driving schools now primarily promote automatic transmission classes, but in reality, manual transmission courses are several hundred yuan cheaper, offering higher cost-effectiveness.
