What vehicles can be driven after downgrading from B2 to C1M?

b2 downgraded to c1m can drive small cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. C1M includes one more category than C1, which is wheeled self-propelled machinery. Wheeled self-propelled machinery is divided into rail wheeled self-propelled machinery and ordinary wheeled self-propelled machinery (including tire-type and hub-type). Driver's license levels A1: Large buses and A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M A2: Tractor trucks and B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M A3: City buses and C1, C2, C3, C4 B1: Medium-sized buses and C1, C2, C3, C4, M (Medium-sized buses refer to buses with fewer than 19 seats, such as minibuses and vans) B2: Large trucks and C1, C2, C3, C4, M C1: Small cars and C2, C3 (Small cars refer to passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats, such as sedans) C2: Small automatic transmission cars C3: Low-speed trucks and C4 C4: Three-wheeled cars C5: Small automatic transmission passenger cars for disabled individuals (referring to five categories of people: those with right lower limb disabilities, both lower limb disabilities, hearing impairments, missing right thumb, or finger end joint defects) D: Ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles and E E: Ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles and F F: Light motorcycles M: Wheeled self-propelled machinery N: Trolleybuses P: Trams
After switching to a C1M driver's license, I now mainly drive regular passenger cars like family sedans or urban SUVs, which are particularly convenient for city commuting, easy to park, and fuel-efficient. Occasionally, I enjoy riding my motorcycle for leisure, but I can no longer operate the large trucks or engineering vehicles I used to drive with a B2 license, which sometimes makes deliveries less convenient. Fortunately, after adapting, it's sufficient for daily life. It's advisable to regularly check the brakes and lights to ensure safe travel, as small cars are much more agile in crowded areas—just remember not to run red lights or speed.
As a driver with years of experience, after downgrading from B2 to C1M, the driving scope has become smaller. You can drive manual or automatic small passenger vehicles and light trucks, including cars, SUVs, and even small pickup trucks weighing under 4.5 tons, as well as various motorcycles. Unfortunately, you can no longer operate heavy trucks or specialized vehicles, which may affect some freight work. I think this is quite suitable for urban environments—comfortable and hassle-free to drive. I'd advise beginners to familiarize themselves with motorcycle operations first to avoid accidents.
