Manual transmission driving license is categorized as C1. Below are the specific details about the C1 driving license: 1. The C1 driving license is one of the categories of motor vehicle driving licenses. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the C1 license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special operation vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer. Based on these standards, a C1 license holder cannot drive vehicles with more than 9 seats. 2. The examination subjects include four items: traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving common sense.
A manual transmission C license usually refers to the C1 license. I remember when I was learning to drive, my instructor told me that if you learn manual transmission, you get a C1 license, which allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars. For example, the manual transmission sedan I usually drive is operated with a C1 license. If you only take the automatic transmission test and get a C2 license, you can only drive automatic cars—driving a manual would be illegal. Nowadays, many beginners find automatic transmission easier and directly opt for the C2 license, but I recommend getting the C1 license as it’s more practical. In case manual cars are cheaper and more fuel-efficient, you can save some money. Driving safety is the most important thing. If you’re choosing a license type, it’s best to consult a reliable driving school for details.
