According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License," Class C includes five types: C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5. The specific vehicles that a Class C license can drive are as follows: 1. C1 permits driving small cars, including small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, and light and mini special-purpose vehicles. It also allows driving vehicles permitted under C2, C3, and C4 licenses. 2. C2 permits driving small automatic transmission vehicles, including small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles and light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles. 3. C3 permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles and also allows driving vehicles permitted under the C4 license. 4. C4 permits driving three-wheeled vehicles, specifically three-wheeled cars. 5. C5 permits driving small automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for disabled individuals.
I just got my Class C driver's license and often get asked by friends about what vehicles I can drive. Simply put, Class C licenses are mainly divided into C1 and C2 types. C1 allows driving small manual or automatic transmission cars, while C2 is restricted to automatic transmission vehicles only. The maximum vehicle weight should not exceed 4.5 tons, and passenger capacity is limited to no more than 9 seats including the driver. For example, family sedans or SUVs like Toyota Corolla and Honda CR-V are all legal vehicles. Prohibited vehicles include motorcycles, heavy trucks, or buses, which require other licenses such as Class D or B. I think safety is crucial when driving. Beginners are advised to choose automatic transmission vehicles as they're easier to operate and reduce accident risks. Regular maintenance is also important - check brakes and tire pressure periodically to avoid emergencies. For weekend trips, I often choose compact MPVs for their spacious interiors that comfortably accommodate family members, but never overload the vehicle. In summary, Class C license is suitable for daily commuting and family trips - choosing the right vehicle ensures both safety and peace of mind.
