What type of driver's license is required to drive a car?
2 Answers
To drive a small car, you can obtain either a C1 or C2 driver's license. Vehicle types permitted with a C1 driver's license: Includes all vehicle types under C2, C3, and C4, allowing the operation of small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, as well as light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Vehicle types permitted with a C2 driver's license: Only allows driving small and micro automatic transmission passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Order of examination subjects: Traffic regulations and related knowledge (commonly referred to as Subject 1), field driving (Subject 2), and road driving (Subject 3) are conducted in sequence. During the examination process, if a candidate fails in a preceding subject, the subsequent subjects will not proceed. Each subject can be taken once with one retake opportunity, and there are a total of 5 retake chances. If a candidate fails after 5 retakes, the examination process is terminated.
I'm currently learning to drive and getting a car driver's license, mainly the C1 category, which allows me to drive both manual and automatic transmission cars. When I first signed up, I checked the information and learned that the car driver's license test is divided into three steps: first, the theoretical traffic rules test, followed by practicing on-site operations after passing, and finally the road test. The whole process is quite time-consuming. I spent two hours a day learning to drive and persisted for a month before passing the test. Why didn't I choose C2? Because C2 only allows driving automatic transmission cars, and if I couldn't drive manual transmission cars, it would be awkward if I needed a manual car in the future. During the test site practice, the focus was on mastering basic skills like reversing into the garage and parallel parking, as safe driving is crucial. The process of learning to drive taught me patience and focus, which makes driving on the road more relaxed.
