What vehicles can an A3 driver's license drive?

[LeRicardo]

A3 driver's license allows driving small cars, small automatic transmission vehicles, low-speed trucks, and three-wheeled vehicles. The following is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction to driver's licenses: The full name of a driver's license is motor vehicle driving license, also known as "driver's license", which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. 2. Classification of driver's licenses: The current driver's licenses are divided into 16 categories: A1 driver's license, A2 driver's license, A3 driver's license, B1 driver's license, B2 driver's license, C1 driver's license, C2 driver's license, C3 driver's license, C4 driver's license, C5 driver's license, D driver's license, E driver's license, F driver's license, M driver's license, N driver's license, P driver's license.

I've been driving agricultural vehicles for over a decade, handling the steering wheel daily with my C3 license. This license mainly allows operating low-speed trucks, like the commonly mentioned agricultural tricycle transporters and four-wheel farm vehicles, but the maximum vehicle length shouldn't exceed 6 meters, and the weight must stay under 4.5 tons. Those urban blue-plate light trucks can also be driven, but pay attention to the speed limit—keeping it under 70 km/h is compliant. Last year, someone in our village used a C3 license to drive a diesel tricycle delivering goods to a supermarket, with half a ton of potatoes loaded in the rear after installing guardrails, and ended up getting fined. A reminder to everyone: never carry passengers in the cargo bed—it's not worth the risk if something goes wrong.

During the driver's license test, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that the C3 license is specifically designed for agricultural vehicles. I most often drive a diesel-powered three-wheeled truck, and it can easily handle a ton of feed in the cargo bed. Actually, it also allows me to operate a steering-wheel-type four-wheel agricultural transport vehicle, but I must remember that the cargo compartment and the cab are separate. Once, I helped a construction site transport materials using a neighbor's modified tractor. Even though the vehicle was only 5 meters long, the traffic police said it fell under the C1 category, and I almost got penalized. When choosing a vehicle, it's safest to first check the words 'low-speed cargo vehicle' on the vehicle registration certificate.

Just helped my dad renew his C3 driver's license and specifically checked the latest regulations. The permitted vehicle types for this license are quite clear: three-wheeled vehicles with engine displacement not exceeding 50cc and four-wheel agricultural vehicles with a maximum speed below 70km/h. It's perfectly fine to drive our orchard's blue Wuzheng three-wheeler - handles two tons of fruit on rural roads with ease. But special attention is required: these vehicles must undergo annual inspections and require agricultural vehicle-specific insurance. I've seen cases where people got stopped on highways trying to drive mini trucks with a C3 license. Though steering-wheel agricultural vehicles may resemble regular trucks in appearance, their license requirements are worlds apart.

A veteran mechanic with 20 years of experience repairing agricultural vehicles will tell you that vehicles corresponding to the C3 driving license have distinct features: the steering wheel is on the left, they bear yellow license plates, and the cargo compartment and cab look like two matchboxes stuck together. Last time, a young man came to repair an electric four-wheel transport vehicle weighing 3.2 tons, powered by lead-acid batteries—this type of vehicle can be driven with just a C3 license. However, be extra cautious now as some 'old man's joy' vehicles are labeled as 'new energy transport vehicles.' If their speed exceeds 50 km/h, a higher-level license is required. For safety, it's better to opt for traditional diesel vehicles, and when hauling cargo, do not exceed 120% of the rated load capacity.
