b2 downgraded to c1m can drive small cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled vehicles and wheeled self-propelled machinery. C1M has one more wheeled self-propelled machinery than C1. Wheeled self-propelled machinery is divided into rail wheeled self-propelled machinery and ordinary wheeled self-propelled machinery (including tire type and wheel hub type). The following are three situations where the B2 driver's license will be downgraded: 1. It will be downgraded if you get 12 points in a scoring cycle. 2. It will be downgraded if you fail to participate in the annual review for three consecutive scoring cycles. 3. If you do not renew your license for more than one year after the expiration date, your license will be downgraded and revoked.

I usually love driving, but after downgrading from B2 to C1M, the allowable vehicle types have changed significantly. Now, the main vehicles I can drive are small cars, such as common small passenger vehicles with nine seats or fewer, like family sedans or minivans; as well as small cargo vehicles with a total mass not exceeding 4.5 tons and a load limit within 1.5 tons, such as pickup trucks or light-duty trucks. Additionally, wheeled self-propelled machinery like tractors or small construction equipment can also be driven, which is useful for farm work. What can't I drive? All medium and large cargo vehicles that were previously allowed under B2 are now off-limits—don't touch those. I recommend carefully checking the allowable driving range on your driver's license. Driving smaller cars is actually more flexible, with lower fuel consumption and better handling. Safety first—don't exceed the permitted driving limits.

Downgrading to C1M significantly reduces the driving scope. The C1 category refers to small passenger vehicles and light cargo vehicles, simply put, those like family cars and mini trucks; the M class specifically denotes wheeled machinery, such as tractors suitable for farm work. Driving medium or larger trucks is no longer permitted, which is common as one ages or after medical examinations. Driving small cars for daily commutes is fine, like going to work or delivering small goods, but be sure to choose compliant models and avoid overloading. Small cars are fuel-efficient and durable, so just adapt after the downgrade. Maintain good vehicle condition, conduct regular inspections, and avoid risks while driving.

After downgrading from B2 to C1M, you can drive C1 category small vehicles such as sedans or minivans with up to nine seats; drive small trucks with a total weight not exceeding 4.5 tons, such as pickup trucks. You can also operate M category wheeled machinery like tractors. However, you cannot drive medium or large trucks. Always check the permitted driving scope on your license before driving. Small vehicles are easier to operate and safer.

Downgrading from B2 to C1M, choose compliant vehicles for driving: small passenger cars like family sedans or nine-seaters; light-duty trucks such as pickups, with weight limits as per standards; wheeled machinery like tractors suitable for work tasks. Avoid driving vehicles beyond this scope. Daily use of compact cars is a good choice—economical, affordable, and easy to drive. Pay attention to matching the vehicle type when driving to avoid violations.
