D driver's license allows driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement greater than 50ml or a maximum speed exceeding 50km/h. Knowledge about driver's licenses is as follows: Types of driver's licenses: They can be classified into A, B, C, D, E, F, M, N, and P categories. Meaning of a driver's license: Officially known as a motor vehicle driver's license, it is a document issued by government transportation departments to individuals qualified to drive. Vehicle types permitted by C category driver's licenses: C1 permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles, as well as light and mini cargo vehicles; light, small, and mini special-purpose vehicles; C2, C3, and C4 permitted vehicle types. C2 permits driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles and light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles. C3 permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (originally four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles); C4 permitted vehicle types. C4 permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C5 permits driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles specially designed for disabled individuals (only for those with right lower limb or both lower limbs disabilities).
I've been driving for so many years and I'm very familiar with licenses like A1, A2, and D. The A1 license allows you to drive large passenger vehicles, such as tourist buses or city buses over six meters long—those vehicles that carry a lot of people. Driving them requires extra smoothness, and you have to be careful when turning. The A2 license is for tractor-trailers, specifically designed for driving trucks with trailers or semi-trailer tractors, ideal for long-distance cargo transport. However, you need to watch out for trailer sway and control your speed carefully. The D license is for three-wheeled motorcycles, commonly used for urban deliveries or rural cargo transport. Don’t underestimate it—poor balance while riding can easily lead to accidents. I think the classification of driver's licenses makes sense, as each type of vehicle carries different risks. Getting an A1 license is harder—you need a B license as a foundation—while the D license is relatively simpler but quite practical. Safe driving is the core principle: don’t drive large vehicles when fatigued, always wear a helmet on three-wheelers, and check the vehicle before starting.
