2 Answers
A C1 license is sufficient to drive a sedan. The permitted vehicle types include small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini specialized operation vehicles. Introduction to C1 Driver's License: The C1 driver's license is one of the license codes. It permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, and light, small, and mini specialized operation vehicles. The examination subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, road driving, and safe and civilized driving knowledge. Permitted Vehicle Types for C1 License: According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the permitted scope for a C1 license includes small and mini passenger vehicles and light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini specialized 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.
I've been driving for almost thirty years. As the old saying goes, you need a license to drive, and for regular cars, you need either a C1 or C2 driver's license. C1 allows you to drive both manual and automatic transmission cars, while C2 is only for automatic transmission. The rules are much stricter now compared to the past. You must be at least 18 years old to take the driving test, and health check-ups are mandatory. The process is divided into four steps: passing the theoretical exam by studying the question bank, the second stage (Subject 2) testing parking and other field skills, the third stage (Subject 3) being the actual road test to handle street scenarios, and finally receiving the license. I remember young people trying to take shortcuts by driving without a license, only to get caught, fined, have their cars impounded, and face higher insurance premiums. So, it's best for beginners to enroll in a proper driving school and pass everything in one go—it saves a lot of hassle. Practice turning and braking more during lessons to adapt to city roads, ensuring safety and peace of mind.
