There are four types of manual transmission: 1. C1: Small-sized vehicles. 2. C2: Small-sized automatic transmission vehicles. 3. C3: Low-speed trucks. 4. C4: Three-wheeled vehicles. Here is the relevant introduction to manual transmission: 1. License code: C1. Eligible vehicles include small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro trucks, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Other eligible vehicle types include C2, C3, and C4. A physical examination is required every 6 years, but not for those under 60 years old. 2. Requirements for test vehicles: Light general-purpose trucks with a length of no less than 5 meters, or small general-purpose passenger vehicles with a length of no less than 4 meters, or cars with a length of no less than 4 meters.

As a young person who just got my driver's license, the manual transmission corresponds to a C1 license. I remember during driving school, the instructor repeatedly emphasized that C1 allows driving both manual and automatic transmission cars, while a C2 license only permits driving automatic transmission vehicles. Obtaining a C1 requires learning clutch control and practicing gear-shifting techniques. Nowadays, most cars on the road are automatic, but learning manual transmission helps better understand car mechanics. If problems occur while driving a manual car, such as stalling or difficulty shifting gears, beginners may panic easily. It's recommended to practice more with driving simulation games to gain experience. The process of obtaining a C1 tests one's patience, but in the long run, mastering manual transmission makes driving various types of cars more flexible. My friend chose C2 for convenience but regrets not being able to rent manual transmission cars for trips.

A manual transmission requires a C1 driver's license to operate legally. Don't confuse it with C2, which only allows driving automatic transmission vehicles. From driving taxis in my youth to teaching driving for twenty years now, among Class C licenses, C1 is the most versatile, permitting you to operate the clutch pedal and gear shift. During the test, the examiner checks whether you can shift gears smoothly without confusing the accelerator and brake pedals. A common mistake on the road is new drivers being fined for driving manual cars without obtaining a C1 license, which is equivalent to unlicensed driving and very dangerous. While automatic transmissions are simpler to drive, manual transmissions have advantages when climbing hills in mountainous areas, offering quicker power response. The driving test content changes annually, but the core remains the same: C1 emphasizes strong technical skills, and I recommend young people obtain it for greater vehicle choice flexibility in the future.

A manual transmission car requires a C1 driver's license to operate. I usually pick up and drop off my kids at school, and since my husband's car is a manual, I recently obtained my C1 license. A C2 license only allows you to drive automatic transmission vehicles and cannot be used for cars with a clutch. The hardest part when learning to drive was starting without stalling—my instructor said practicing simulated movements ten times daily at home speeds up progress. When buying a new car, I considered the convenience of an automatic, but manuals are more fuel-efficient, cost-effective, and have fewer minor issues. Safety-wise, driving a manual keeps you more focused on the road and less reliant on systems, which is especially beneficial for new moms.
