A sedan over 6 meters in length requires an A1 driver's license. Below are the vehicle types permitted for each license category: A1 License: Permitted Vehicle Types: Large passenger vehicles; Permitted Vehicles: Large passenger buses, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M. B1 License: Permitted Vehicle Types: Medium-sized passenger vehicles; Permitted Vehicles: Medium-sized passenger buses (including city buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 passengers), C1, C2, C3, C4, M. C1 License: Permitted Vehicle Types: Small cars; Permitted Vehicles: Small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles, C2, C3, C4.
I've always enjoyed trying out different cars. Normally, driving small cars with a C1 license is quite convenient, but for those sedans exceeding 6 meters in length, such as some extended luxury models, a B1 license is required. Because these vehicles are so large, maneuvers like turning or parking become more complex and prone to accidents, so regulations mandate specialized training to operate them. I remember test driving a car over 6 meters last year—it felt particularly impressive, but starting and reversing required extra caution; it's definitely not a job for beginners. Before driving such vehicles, one must obtain a B1 license through driving school to learn proper handling techniques—safety comes first. By the way, when choosing a car, always check the dimensions carefully. Don't let vanity cloud your judgment; safety should always be the top priority.
Having driven for decades, I've encountered all types of vehicles. For sedans over six meters in length, like certain extended editions, you typically need a B1 license to drive them. Regular cars only require a C1 license, but those long vehicles handle more like small buses—with longer braking distances and more challenging handling. Without experience, they're tough to drive safely. I drove one in my youth and nearly had a scrape—a lesson learned. Safety-wise, driving without the proper license can lead to fines and points if caught by traffic police, so always check regulations before switching vehicles. Licenses are categorized into A, B, and C classes, with B1 required for medium-sized vehicles over six meters—don't mix them up.
