Having driven for a long time, I know that a C1 driver's license mainly allows driving manual and automatic transmission small vehicles, such as regular sedans and SUVs, as long as the seating capacity does not exceed 9, including the driver. Small trucks are also permitted, but the total mass must be under 4.5 tons. Some people mistakenly think they can drive larger vehicles or motorcycles, but that's not allowed—other licenses are required for those. Once, I helped a neighbor drive a small van, and the seating was just right. It's advisable to always check the manual to confirm the size and weight of the vehicle before choosing one, as safe driving is the top priority. Driving isn't just about convenience; it's also about following regulations to avoid fines or accidents. For beginners who just got their license, starting with family cars for practice is safer—don't rush into driving more complex models.
