The types of vehicles that can be driven with a motor vehicle driver's license depend on the license type: 1. The C1 driver's license permits driving small cars, micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo trucks, and specialized operation vehicles; 2. The C3 driver's license permits driving low-speed cargo trucks; 3. The C4 driver's license permits driving three-wheeled vehicles. The materials required for driver's license renewal include: ID card, driver's license, medical examination certificate, and photos. A driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the relevant tests, permitting them to drive a certain type of motor vehicle.

I often help friends with driver's license matters. Let me explain from a technical perspective what vehicles a C1 license can drive. The C1 license covers blue-plate small vehicles with a length not exceeding 6 meters and a total mass under 4.5 tons. Typical examples include sedans, SUVs, or small vans, such as the Toyota Corolla or Volkswagen Tiguan. However, you cannot drive motorcycles or operate trucks exceeding the weight limit, otherwise you'll face fines and points if caught on the road, plus you'll need to retake the theoretical exam. If a vehicle has modifications, like a raised chassis, it might exceed the permitted driving scope—check the vehicle registration certificate to confirm. For routine vehicle maintenance, it's advisable to frequently inspect the braking system to ensure safety, as driving beyond the authorized scope can easily lead to accidents.

As someone who just got their driver's license, I totally relate! When I got my C1 license, I was so excited. The instructor said I could drive regular family cars like sedans, compact SUVs, and even some light trucks. At first, I only drove our old family car – a tiny one. When a friend invited me to test drive his dad's big pickup truck, I saw my license didn't qualify, so I didn't dare take the risk. For beginners, it's best to start with automatic transmission small cars, avoid motorcycles or large vehicles, and find an empty space to practice and get familiar with the controls. Remember, staying within your license limits saves trouble – don't compromise safety for pride.

Driving safety should always be the top priority, and I always emphasize the importance of verifying your driver's license class. A C1 license only permits driving small cars—never operate tractors or large passenger vehicles. Driving the wrong vehicle type can easily lead to loss of control and accidents, endangering others, not to mention invalidating your insurance and leaving you personally liable for damages. I recommend regularly reviewing traffic regulations—for instance, smaller cars are easier to handle on highways, reducing sudden risks. Stay vigilant; driving the right vehicle is a matter of respecting life.
