What vehicles can be driven with a C2 license?
2 Answers
C2 license holders can drive small and mini automatic passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini automatic cargo vehicles. The following are the differences between C2 and C1 licenses: 1. Concept: A C1 license refers to a manual transmission license, while a C2 license refers to an automatic transmission license. A C1 license allows driving both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, whereas a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles. 2. Eligible vehicle types: A C1 license allows driving small and mini passenger vehicles, light and mini cargo vehicles, and light, small, and mini special operation vehicles. A C2 license, on the other hand, permits driving small and mini automatic passenger vehicles and light and mini automatic cargo vehicles. 3. Physical examination requirements: For a C1 license, individuals aged 70 and above must undergo an annual physical examination, while for a C2 license, individuals aged 60 and above must undergo an annual physical examination.
A C2 driver's license only allows driving automatic transmission vehicles, so common automatic transmission private cars are no problem. For example, sedans like the Sylphy and Camry, SUVs like the CR-V and RAV4, and 7-seater MPVs like the Wuling Hongguang can all be driven. However, it's important to note that the vehicle length must not exceed 6 meters, and the maximum number of passengers including the driver must not exceed 9. Vehicles like the Jinbei Haise are not permitted. Blue-plate new energy vehicles are also allowed, such as the Xpeng P7 and Tesla Model 3. The most crucial point is that the vehicle must have the identification required for a C2 license, which is an automatic transmission. To drive a manual transmission vehicle, you need to obtain a C1 license. Never attempt to drive a manual transmission car with a C2 license, as it will result in penalties. After passing the test and getting your driver's license, be sure to check the back for the permitted vehicle types description—it's all clearly stated there.
