What is the most common type of C license for driving tests?
2 Answers
Many people choose C1 for their driving test. Here are the specific differences between C1 and C2: 1. Training fee: C1 is cheaper than C2, which can be seen by comparing the prices of different driving schools. This is because the maintenance cost of automatic transmission vehicles is much higher than that of manual transmission vehicles. 2. More C1 training vehicles: There are fewer C2 training vehicles, so taking the C1 test is generally faster than taking the C2 test. The number of manual transmission training vehicles in the driving test market far exceeds that of automatic transmission training vehicles, so queuing for C1 practice is usually faster than for C2. 3. Switching: It is allowed to switch from C1 to C2 during the test, but switching from C2 to C1 is not allowed. 4. Test: The test process is the same; both require passing the five mandatory subjects in the second stage and the road test in the third stage. Comparatively, without a clutch, C2 operation seems easier.
When I got my driver's license, most of my friends chose to take the C1 manual transmission license because it's more versatile, allowing them to drive both manual and automatic cars. I remember the driving school instructor always saying that C1 covers a wide range and is suitable for various small vehicles. The test includes gear-shifting techniques, which, although challenging, help improve fundamental driving skills. Why do people choose C1? Mainly because manual transmission cars are cheaper, easier to maintain, and can handle more driving scenarios. Of course, more people are opting for the C2 automatic license, especially with the rise of electric vehicles, but overall, C1 remains the mainstream choice. It's advisable to consult the driving school and test-drive different vehicles before enrolling to make an informed decision.
