What vehicles can a C3D license drive?
2 Answers
C3D license allows driving low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, and light motorcycles. According to the national standard GB_7258-2004, the classifications are as follows: 1. Small car C1: small and micro passenger cars, as well as light and micro trucks; light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Small passenger cars with no more than 9 seats, with a maximum design total mass of ≤4500kg. Length ≤6.0m, width ≤2.0m, height ≤2.5m. 2. Small automatic transmission car C2: small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic transmission trucks. Small passenger cars with no more than 9 seats, with a maximum design total mass of ≤4500kg. Length ≤6.0m, width ≤2.0m, height ≤2.5m. 3. Low-speed truck C3: low-speed trucks (originally four-wheeled agricultural transport vehicles). Maximum design speed ≤70km/h, with a maximum design total mass of ≤4500kg. Length ≤6.0m, width ≤2.0m, height ≤2.5m.
As a veteran tractor driver who has been working in the countryside for years, after obtaining my C3D driver's license, I can operate low-speed cargo vehicles and three-wheeled motorcycles. The low-speed ones, like those small freight trucks with a maximum designed speed not exceeding 70 km/h, are perfect for hauling vegetables and fruits to the market—simple to operate but don’t push the speed. The three-wheeled motorcycles are more stable with their three-wheel design, making them practical for deliveries on village roads. However, driving these vehicles requires attention to safety: avoid overloading or entering highways, and always check the brakes and lights to prevent accidents. This type of license is ideal for those needing small-scale transportation—fuel-efficient and convenient—but don’t expect to drive regular cars or SUVs, as that requires a different license.
