2 Answers
Driver's license classifications and corresponding vehicle types are as follows: 1. A1: Large passenger vehicles. 2. A2: Heavy and medium-sized full trailers or semi-trailer combinations. 3. A3: City buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. 4. B1: Medium-sized passenger vehicles. 5. B2: Heavy and medium-sized cargo vehicles, etc. 6. C1: Small and mini passenger vehicles, etc. 7. C2: Small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles, etc. 8. C3: Low-speed cargo vehicles (formerly four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). 9. C4: Three-wheeled vehicles (formerly three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles).
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I remember when I was learning to drive, the instructor explained the corresponding relationships of driver's license classifications in detail. Simply put, license classifications are letter-number combinations like C1, C2, each corresponding to different vehicle types. For example, C1 permits driving small manual transmission cars, suitable for most private vehicles; C2 is for automatic transmission small cars, ideal for beginners; Class B licenses are for medium or large trucks, while Class A is the strictest, with A1 permitting large passenger vehicles like buses. These classifications ensure drivers have sufficient skills to handle different road conditions and prevent inexperienced drivers from taking on high-risk large vehicles. When driving normally, don't underestimate these categories—driving beyond your permitted vehicle class counts as unlicensed driving, with severe fines and point deductions. If you've just obtained your license, I recommend starting with C1 or C2 to gradually get accustomed to the feel of driving, and practicing actual vehicle operations extensively before tests is key. In short, doing it the right way ensures safety.
