I specialize in traffic regulations. The vehicles that a C1 driver's license allows you to drive are light-duty trucks, with a maximum gross vehicle weight not exceeding 4,500 kilograms and a length within 6 meters. Common examples include blue-plate trucks like the Wuling Hongguang Mini Truck. These vehicles are suitable for urban short-distance transportation, moving furniture or small goods, but overloading must be strictly avoided as it can lead to unstable braking and significantly increase road risks. I also recommend drivers carry the vehicle manual to check weight specifications and avoid traffic fines, especially for new drivers who might test such vehicles right after passing their exams. They are practical and save the hassle of upgrading the license.
