What is the difference between a C2E driver's license and a C2?
2 Answers
Here are the differences between a C2E driver's license and a C2: 1. In terms of vehicle types allowed: A C1 driver's license permits driving all vehicle types under C2, C3, and C4. Additionally, C1 allows driving micro and small passenger cars, as well as light and micro trucks, and light and micro operational vehicles. C2 cannot drive operational vehicles, and for micro and small passenger or cargo vehicles, it only permits driving automatic transmission models. C2 also does not permit driving C3 or C4 vehicles. 2. In terms of driving test difficulty: C1 and C2 have the same test items. In terms of difficulty, since automatic transmission C2 does not have a clutch, its operation is simpler than C1.
To be honest, I just got my C2 license last year and found it quite different from C1. During driving lessons, C2 only trains you on automatic transmission, so you don’t have to deal with the clutch or gear stick—the instructor just teaches you to press the accelerator and brake. The test only covers basic operations, so I passed easily. With C1, though, you have to practice manual transmission, which involves troublesome stuff like hill starts and gear shifting, and the risk of failing is higher. Now, with a C2 license, I can only drive automatic cars, like my Civic at home—90% of the cars on the road are like this—but I can’t borrow a friend’s manual car. If you don’t plan to drive manual, C2 saves time and money, and you can hit the road for a spin sooner.
