Automatic transmission driving license is C2. Permitted vehicle types: small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles. The following are other driving license classes and their permitted vehicles: 1.C1 - Small vehicle driving license (includes all vehicle types permitted by C2, C3, and C4 licenses); 2.C3 - Low-speed cargo vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles; 3.C4 - Three-wheeled vehicles; 4.C5 - Special small automatic transmission passenger vehicles for disabled persons (referring to five categories of people: those with right lower limb disability, both lower limb disabilities, hearing impairment, missing right thumb or finger end joint defects).
When I got my driver's license before, I chose the automatic transmission, which is the C2 category. The manual transmission is C1. C2 is specifically for automatic transmission vehicles, and the learning process is super easy. The test doesn't include hill starts and clutch control, making it easy for beginners like me to get started. There are more automatic transmission cars in the city, and driving them is less tiring, allowing you to focus more on road conditions for safety. The difference from C1 is that C2 doesn't allow you to drive manual transmission cars, so if you want to drive trucks or manual models in the future, you'll need to retake the C1 test. When preparing for the C2 test, it's recommended to practice parallel parking more, as it's easier to pass the exam. Remember, after getting your license, you should also practice night driving to avoid fatigue driving. Maintaining an automatic transmission car is simpler too—just regular oil changes will do.
