In the busy urban life, electric vehicles have become the first choice for more and more people to travel due to their convenience and environmental protection. However, for drivers with a C1 license, how to drive an electric vehicle legally and with peace of mind is a question worth exploring. Today, let's explore this hot topic and see how to get a D license, so that C1 license holders can also enjoy the fun of electric vehicle travel!
1. The fate of C1 driver's license and electric vehicles
First of all, let's be clear: a C1 license is a driving permit for a small car, while an electric vehicle falls under the category of non-motor vehicle or motor vehicle. According to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, electric vehicles are divided into different types such as electric bicycles, electric mopeds, and electric motorcycles. Among them, electric bicycles are non-motorized vehicles and do not require a driver's license; Electric mopeds and electric motorcycles, on the other hand, are motor vehicles and require a corresponding driver's license to hit the road.
For C1 license holders, the fact that they cannot drive all types of electric vehicles does not mean that they are not connected to electric vehicles. In fact, as long as you get a D license (motorcycle license), you can easily drive electric mopeds and electric motorcycles, and enjoy the convenience and comfort of electric vehicle travel.
2. The process and cost of obtaining the D certificate are revealed
So, how do you get a D certificate? Next, let's take a closer look at the process and cost of obtaining the D certificate.
- Registration: First, you need to go to your local driving school or DMV to register. When registering, you need to submit your ID card, physical examination certificate and other relevant materials, and pay a certain registration fee. Generally, the registration fee is between 200-500 RMB.
- Physical examination: After successful registration, you need to go to the designated hospital for a physical examination. The physical examination items mainly include vision, color blindness, hearing, etc. The cost of physical examination is determined according to the hospital's charging standard, which is generally not more than 50 yuan.
- Training: After passing the medical examination, you can attend a training course at a driving school. The training course mainly consists of two parts: theoretical study and practical driving training. The cost of training varies depending on the region, driving school, and training course, but generally ranges from 500-1500 RMB.
- Exam: At the end of the training, you will need to take the exam for the D certificate. The exam is divided into two parts: a theory test and a field test. The theory test mainly tests the knowledge of traffic safety laws and regulations and traffic signals; The on-site test mainly tests motorcycle driving skills. The exam fee is generally between 100-200 RMB.
- Certificate: After passing the exam, you can go to the DMV to get the D certificate within the specified time. The fee for obtaining the certificate is generally between 10-20 yuan.
To sum up, the total cost of obtaining a D certificate is about 1000-2500 yuan. Although it is slightly higher than a C1 license, it is still quite a good investment considering that a D license allows you to legally drive many types of electric vehicles.
