What Vehicles Can Be Driven with an R License?
2 Answers
There is no R-class driver's license. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' the categories of driver's licenses are: A, B, C, D, E, F, M, N, P. Among them, A and C are further divided into 3 subcategories each, and B is divided into 2 subcategories. A1 License: Permitted to drive large buses, including large passenger vehicles and A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M-class vehicles. A2 License: Permitted to drive tractor-trailers, including heavy and medium-sized full trailers, semi-trailers, and B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, M-class vehicles. A3 License: Permitted to drive city buses, including city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers and C1, C2, C3, C4-class vehicles. B1 License: Permitted to drive medium-sized passenger vehicles, including medium-sized passenger vehicles (such as city buses with a capacity of 10 to 19 passengers) and C1, C2, C3, C4, M-class vehicles.
After getting a C-class license, I can drive various small cars, especially those common family sedans and compact SUVs. My daily commute is in a Honda Civic, which is very comfortable to drive as long as it doesn't exceed 9 seats. It's perfect for city cruising or road trips, and models like the Haval H6 or BYD Qin are no problem at all. But remember, driving large trucks or buses requires at least a B-class license, so don't touch those heavy vehicles with just a C-class license. I also like to pay attention to car maintenance, such as checking tire wear or lights, which can extend the vehicle's lifespan and ensure safe driving. For new drivers who just got their license, I recommend starting with simpler car models to get familiar with driving, and don't rush into speeding—safety first!
