The most obvious difference between C1D and C1E lies in the permitted vehicle types. D license: Permitted vehicle type is ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, and other permitted types include E and F. E license: Permitted vehicle type is ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, and other permitted types include F. Comparatively, C1D allows for more vehicle types. License classification: Motor vehicle driving licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, D, E, F, M, N, P. License validity period: Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses": If a motor vehicle driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driving license, the license shall be renewed with a ten-year validity period; if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle during the ten-year validity period, the license shall be renewed with a long-term validity.

I just got my C1 driver's license recently and was curious about the difference between C1 and C1E. Simply put, a C1 license allows you to drive small family cars or light trucks, but you can't just tow large trailers—the trailer weight is limited to within 750 kg. C1E, on the other hand, extends the C1 license, permitting you to tow heavier trailers, like driving a small pickup truck with a large camping trailer for travel—no problem at all. During the actual test, C1E requires an additional exam for trailer operation skills, taking a few more days of training than C1. For everyday driving, having a C1E license allows you to handle more scenarios, but car insurance might be a bit higher. Overall, C1 is suitable for city commuting, while C1E is better for camping or small business hauling.

As a long-haul driver, the difference between C1 and C1E is quite evident in my daily work. C1 only allows me to drive light vehicles—towing a heavy trailer would be a violation, posing too much risk. C1E, on the other hand, certifies that I can handle trailer connections and braking, making the job more flexible, such as hauling construction materials or mobile equipment. In terms of regulations, C1E has fewer restrictions on trailer weight, while C1 is limited to small trailers. Driving habits also need adjustment; extra caution is required for rear visibility when towing. I recommend everyone choose their license based on actual needs rather than just saving money at the expense of safety.

How to Operate the Rearview Mirror Button?

Adjust the left and right positions so that the left edge of the mirror just cuts off the right ear of your reflection in the mirror. When adjusting the up and down positions, place the distant horizon in the center, and adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area. For the right rearview mirror, adjust the up and down positions to occupy about 2/3 of the mirror. Adjust the left and right positions so that the car body occupies 1/4 of the mirror's area.

What Are the Standard Dimensions of a Sedan?

Standard sedan dimensions are categorized into several levels. For family cars, the length typically ranges from 3800mm to 4300mm, width from 1600mm to 1800mm, and height from 1400mm to 1600mm. 1. Length: Length is the most influential parameter affecting a car's purpose, functionality, and ease of use. Therefore, vehicle classes are generally divided based on length. A longer body means more longitudinal usable space, which is obvious; however, an excessively long body can make turning and parking inconvenient. 2. Width: Width mainly affects passenger space and maneuverability. For passenger sedans, if three seats arranged side by side are required to provide a spacious feel (primarily sufficient shoulder room), the width generally needs to reach 1.8 meters. In recent years, due to increased safety requirements, the thickness of door panels has increased, leading to a general increase in vehicle width. 3. Height: Vehicle height directly impacts the center of gravity (handling) and interior space. Most sedans have a height below 1.5 meters, significantly lower than the natural sitting height of a human, primarily to lower the vehicle's center of gravity and ensure stability during high-speed turns to prevent rollovers. 4. Wheelbase: Once the vehicle length is determined, the wheelbase becomes the most critical factor affecting passenger space, as the majority of two-box and three-box sedans position passenger seats between the front and rear axles. A longer wheelbase increases longitudinal space for passengers, directly benefiting legroom, which significantly impacts ride comfort.

Why does the new battery lose power when accelerating?

Here are the reasons why the new battery loses power when accelerating: 1. High starting current: The current is about three times that of normal driving. The combined resistance of the wiring, internal resistance of the battery, and the controller's field-effect transistors, along with high-current discharge, causes significant voltage fluctuations. 2. Charging duration: Battery self-discharge. Some users do not ride their electric vehicles immediately after fully charging them, leaving the vehicle unused for several days without timely recharging. 3. Damp wiring: If the electric vehicle is frequently used in rainy or snowy weather, damp wiring could also be a possible reason.

What are the steps for starting a car for the first time?

First, check around the car for any obstacles and inspect the tire pressure. Ensure safety before opening the door and entering the vehicle. Next, check the dashboard. Then, from left to right, inspect the left rearview mirror, and of course, also glance at the dashboard to check the fuel level and whether the headlights are on. After that, fasten the seatbelt, turn on the left turn signal, press down the clutch, shift into first gear, release the handbrake, and then slowly release the clutch to start the car while ensuring safety.

What does new energy vehicle quota or regular quota mean?

New energy vehicle quota refers to the eligibility to purchase new energy vehicles, while regular quota refers to the eligibility to purchase either fuel-powered vehicles or new energy vehicles. Regular quota has broader applicability: Entities and individuals holding regular quotas can purchase both conventional fuel-powered vehicles and new energy vehicles. However, those holding new energy vehicle quotas can only purchase new energy vehicles. Scope of new energy vehicles: New energy vehicle models eligible for purchase under the new energy quota are listed in the catalog issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. Currently, this includes only pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Some cities also allow the purchase of range-extended electric vehicles.

What are the techniques for reverse parking in an underground garage?

First, determine if the parking space is 'qualified'. When the front wheels pass the parking space, start turning the steering wheel to make the car move in the direction away from the parking space. Utilize the available width of the passage to tilt the car's position as much as possible. This allows the driver to observe the rear danger points of the vehicle through the rearview mirror. When a 'gap' between your car and the vehicles on both sides is visible in the right rearview mirror, you can adjust the steering wheel to modify the car's reversing trajectory and try to straighten it for parking.
