1. What are the restrictions on the C6 driver’s license for approved models?
According to the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", the C6 driver’s license allows the driving of car trains with a total mass of less than 4500kg, which is what we call trailer-type RVs. It should be noted that this refers to the total mass of the front car + the rear trailer does not exceed 4500kg.
2. How can I obtain a C6 driver’s license?
According to the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", C6 driver’s licenses can only be obtained through "additional driving", and three conditions must be met: the applicant is between the ages of 20 and 60, holds a C1 or C2 driver’s license for one year or more, and has not scored 12 points in the past points cycle. Those who meet the above conditions and pass the driving training and test can get a C6 driver’s license. It should be pointed out that for those who already hold A1, A3, B1, B2, C1, and C2 driver’s licenses, applying for the addition of light-duty tractor-trailer vehicles requires examination subjects 2 and 3 for safe and civilized driving knowledge, including pile tests, curved driving, right-angle turns, etc., while those who hold A2 driver’s licenses do not need to add C6, and can directly drive light-duty tractor-trailer vehicles.
3. How to choose a trailer trailer or a self-propelled trailer?
At present, there are two categories of RVs: trailer-mounted RVs and self-propelled RVs. The essential difference between the two lies in whether they have their own traction, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. In general, trailer-mounted RVs are affordable, easy to use and inexpensive, with separate rooms and cars, larger living space and higher comfort, but it is inconvenient to move, and it will be relatively troublesome to drive. For example, turning, reversing, and turning around test driving skills, and parking is inconvenient, requiring two parking spaces. The biggest advantage of self-propelled RVs is that they have their own power system, which is more convenient to drive than trailer-mounted RVs, and the utilization rate is relatively high, but the living space will be relatively small and the price will be relatively expensive. Therefore, people who are active outdoors for a long time can consider a trailer trailer, which can bring a larger living space, a more comfortable rest environment, and no need to consider the problem of vehicle parking in the wild. For short trips, such as traveling to other cities or some tourist attractions, you can choose a self-propelled B-type RV with low space requirements and relatively cheap prices, but long-term travelers prefer a self-propelled C-type RV, followed by a trailer-type RV, which can bring a better living environment.
