No action is required. When your driver's license reaches the one-year mark, no formalities are needed; however, you should calculate the demerit points accumulated during this year, ensuring they do not exceed 12 points. A C1 driver's license allows you to drive both manual and automatic transmission small cars. In contrast, a C2 driver's license only permits driving automatic transmission small cars. Permitted vehicle types for C1 driver's license: The C1 license covers small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with seating capacity ≤9. Vehicles prohibited for C1 license holders: large buses, tractor units, city buses, medium buses, large trucks, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, mopeds, wheeled self-propelled machinery, trolleybuses, and trams. Additionally, C1 license holders cannot drive vehicles with more than 9 seats or trucks exceeding 6 meters in total length. What is a C1 driver's license: The C1 license is one of the classifications of motor vehicle driving licenses. Its permitted scope includes small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles; and small passenger vehicles with seating capacity ≤9. Age requirements: The minimum age for obtaining a C1 license is 18 years, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70+ must pass tests for memory, judgment, and reaction capabilities.
I just got my C1 driver's license exactly one year ago, and honestly, nothing needs to be done after the probation period! I thought it would be as troublesome as the driving school exams, like having to go to the traffic management office to submit documents, but experienced drivers told me it's completely hassle-free. The license automatically becomes official, and I no longer have to worry about putting up a probation sign or the restriction of not being able to drive alone on highways. I remember during the probation period, I could only drive on weekends and needed someone to accompany me on highways, but now I can freely drive on highways! However, I need to remind myself that safe driving is the most important thing—avoid violations and points. The license is valid for 6 years, and I'll need to renew it when it expires, so I should do it a bit early to avoid it becoming invalid. Developing good driving habits and avoiding driving while fatigued will make things easier.
