1 Answers
Upgrading from C2 to C1 requires retaking all four subjects for the C1 vehicle type. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the examination items include traffic regulations and related knowledge (referred to as Subject 1), field driving (Subject 2), road driving (Subject 3), and safety and civilization knowledge (Subject 4), conducted in sequence. A C2 driving license only permits driving small and micro automatic passenger vehicles, as well as light and micro automatic cargo vehicles (automatic vehicles with fewer than 9 seats and a length not exceeding 6 meters). The C1 driving license is a type of motor vehicle driving license code. The permissible driving levels for a C1 license include all models under C2, C3, and C4, allowing the operation of small and micro passenger vehicles, light and micro cargo vehicles, and light, small, and micro special operation vehicles. The differences between C1 and C2: Permissible vehicle types differ. The C1 license covers small manual transmission vehicles, including the small automatic transmission vehicles under C2. However, a C2 small automatic transmission license does not permit driving C1 small manual transmission vehicles. Registration prices differ. For C2 training, automatic transmission small cars are required. These vehicles are not only more expensive but also more prone to faults, consume more fuel, and require higher maintenance costs. Therefore, the registration fee for C2 is higher than that for C1. Examination difficulty differs. For C1 and C2, Subjects 1 and 4 are the same. However, Subjects 2 and 3 are relatively easier for C2. In Subject 2, the hill start and stop project is omitted. Subject 2 examination deduction items: Not wearing a seatbelt: deduct 100 points; Starting the engine without the gear in neutral: deduct 100 points; not using turn signals (including starting, changing lanes, overtaking, turning, and parking by the roadside); Turn signal not used for more than three seconds; forgetting to turn off the turn signal or incorrect use of the turn signal: deduct 10 points; stalling once: deduct 10 points; wheels touching the edge line: deduct 100 points; Stopping for more than 2 seconds: deduct 5 points; not following the prescribed route or sequence: deduct 100 points; failing to complete the reverse parking: deduct 100 points; vehicle body crossing the line: deduct 100 points. Subject 3 examination deduction items: Not walking around the vehicle to inspect its appearance and surroundings: fail; Not observing the rear traffic before opening the door: fail; Starting with insufficient brake pressure: fail; Starting with the door not fully closed: fail; Before starting, not observing the interior and exterior rearview mirrors or turning the head to observe rear traffic: fail; Starting the engine without the gearshift lever in neutral (parking gear): fail; Starting without releasing the parking brake and not correcting it in time: fail; Starting without releasing the parking brake but correcting it in time: deduct 10 points; Not releasing the start switch promptly after engine start: deduct 10 points; Vehicle jerking during start: deduct 5 points; Improper accelerator pedal control during start, causing excessively high engine speed: deduct 5 points.
