What is the difference between a C2E driver's license and a C2?
2 Answers
C1 driver's license allows driving both manual transmission and automatic transmission vehicles, while a C2 driver's license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles and not manual transmission ones. The detailed differences between a C2E driver's license and a C2 are as follows: 1. Vehicle types for C1 and C2 licenses: C1 is for manual transmission compact cars. C2 is for automatic transmission compact cars. 2. Differences in license conversion: C1 can be converted to C2. C2 cannot be converted to C1 during training. 3. Difference in training costs: C2 is much more expensive than C1. C1 is much cheaper than C2.
When I was getting my driver's license, I compared C2 and C2E, and it was quite useful to share. The C2 license is for regular automatic transmission cars, allowing you to drive vehicles like sedans or SUVs. The test is simple and quick, making it ideal for daily city commuting. On the other hand, C2E is different—it adds a towing function, enabling you to drive automatic cars with towable trailers, such as camping trailers or small utility trailers for moving boxes. I chose C2E because I love outdoor travel, but I must remind you that towing is much more complex. The test requires strict learning of trailer hitch connections and reversing techniques, and on the road, you need to pay attention to longer braking distances and tire pressure adjustments. If you only need to drive a regular car, C2 is sufficient, but if you want to tow, C2E is a must—don’t overlook the training for safety.
