What is the maximum length for blue license plate vehicles?

Blue license plate trucks must have a cargo compartment length below 6 meters (not inclusive). Truck classifications by load capacity and length include: 1. Mini: Total weight <1.8 tons, length ≤3.5 meters. 2. Light: 1.8 tons14 tons, length >6 meters. A C1 driver's license only permits driving vehicles with total weight not exceeding 4.5 tons, seating capacity (including driver) ≤9 persons, or vehicles under 6m in length - all classified as small vehicles.
I've been driving for half my life, and the maximum length for blue-plate vehicles is strictly set at 6 meters by national traffic laws—not a single centimeter over. For example, sedans or mid-size SUVs are generally kept around 5 meters or slightly more for easier parking and turning. Vehicles exceeding 6 meters require yellow plates, like buses or coaches, which are much harder to drive. When buying a blue-plate car, always verify the specs. Some dealers advertise oversized dimensions, but the actual size depends on the vehicle certification. Once, I overlooked this when purchasing a car and had it rejected during registration, costing me money to adjust the frame. Remember: never exceed 6 meters in length—safety first for city driving. It's wise to use GPS to measure your garage space to avoid fitting issues. The advantage of blue-plate vehicles is that a C1 license is sufficient, offering flexible handling without hassle.
I just got my driver's license and was curious about the size limit for blue license plate vehicles. My instructor mentioned the maximum length is 6 meters. This includes SUVs like the Haval H6 or light trucks such as the Ford Transit, which all fall within this range. Vehicles exceeding this length require yellow plates and have different examination requirements. Why set it at 6 meters? My instructor explained it's for traffic management and safety - longer vehicles are harder to maneuver and more prone to hitting pedestrians. Before purchasing a car, one should check official website specifications to avoid size violations that could complicate license plate registration. Some new energy vehicles are longer but still meet blue plate standards. Regular family sedans like the Toyota Corolla are typically under 5 meters - I tried a friend's extra-long model and found it unsuitable for city driving. For hassle-free urban commuting, it's best to choose blue plate vehicles under 6 meters in length.
