3 Answers
C1 driver's license requires a naked eye vision of 4.9 or above. If the naked eye vision does not meet the standard, wearing corrective glasses or undergoing myopia correction surgery is allowed, as long as the corrected vision exceeds 4.9. Permitted vehicle types: The C1 driver's license allows driving small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special operation vehicles; small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people. C1 driver's license does not permit driving: large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, light motorcycles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, a C1 license does not allow driving vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks with a total length exceeding 6 meters. Age requirements: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70 or older must pass tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities.
The vision standards for obtaining a C1 driver's license are quite important. Having taken the test twice myself, I can tell you from personal experience that the requirement is to have uncorrected vision of at least 4.9 in both eyes, or corrected vision (with glasses or contact lenses) no lower than 4.9 to pass. In terms of color vision, you must have normal color discrimination without color blindness, as you need to distinguish traffic light colors while driving. If your vision doesn't meet the standard, you can get an eye exam and prescription glasses, then wear them during the test. Don't underestimate this test - I've seen friends fail temporary vision checks, which delayed their license acquisition. For safe driving, it's recommended to test your vision yourself one month before the exam to ensure everything is in order. After all, good vision is fundamental for road safety, and you'll regret it if problems arise. Stay calm and follow the regulations, and you'll be fine.
As a new driver who just got my license, let me share the vision requirements for obtaining a C1 driver's license: The standard is that both eyes must have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 4.9. If you don't meet the standard, wearing glasses will suffice. You also need normal color vision without any color blindness defects. During my test, I wore my nearsighted glasses and passed easily by reading the eye chart clearly. Remember to get an eye exam and proper glasses in advance to avoid issues on test day. Vision testing is the first step in the licensing process—don't underestimate it, or it may delay your driving practice. Good vision is crucial for reading road signs and reducing risks while driving. I now get regular eye checkups to maintain my driving condition. In short, prepare your vision well to pass this step smoothly.
