"Staying up for 2 more days is the May Day holiday!" This sentence is probably a portrayal of many friends in the past two days, if you are not in the center of the epidemic, then where to go to play during the May Day holiday is a problem. In recent years, Traveling and camping in a motorhome on May Day has become a new way for many people to relax and relax. Most of the motorhomes used in camping are light tow trailers.
In early April, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security announced the revised Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses, one of which is the addition of a new permit-based test for light traction trailers, and for the first time, the regulations for such trailers are clear. Driving and towing a light trailer requires a C6 driver's license. So what steps do you need to take to get this C6 driver's license? On the last two days of the festival, let's take a closer look.
Why do I need to get a C6 driver's license?
The quasi-driving type of the C6 driver's license is a "light traction trailer", which, as the name suggests, does not have its own power system, and is driven together on the tractor through "towing". According to the definition in the national standard, cars and trains with a total mass of less than 4.5 tons belong to light traction trailers, and the popular trailer caravans naturally belong to this category.
Previously, there was no authoritative and clear classification of such models in China. Therefore, for a long time, caravan outings were actually in a "gray area". However, with the official implementation of Order No. 162 of the Ministry of Public Security, light tractor trailers also have a legal status. It is convenient for more people to drive trailer RVs out.
Decree No. 162 of the Ministry of Public Security clarifies the definition of "light traction trailer"
Requirements for obtaining a C6 driver's license: only additional driving / under 70 years old / no 12 points full record
C6 driver's license can only be obtained through "additional driving", first of all, there must be a driver's license for a small car (C1) or a small automatic car (C2), and there is no record of 12 points in the scoring cycle and the most recent scoring cycle before the application; secondly, between the ages of 20-60, 60-70 years old need to pass the memory, judgment, reaction and other ability tests;
Finally, the A2 driver's license allows you to drive the trailer directly, as the A2 quasi-driver type is itself a "tractor" as well as a downward-compatible medium-sized coach (B1) and large van (B2).
How to get a C6 driver's license?
Since it is an increase in driving, the newly revised "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" also stipulates that the same type of driving license does not need to take the theoretical examination (commonly known as subjects I and IV), so the C6 driver's license only needs to take the exams of subjects 2 and 3.
The content of the C6 driver's license test includes three items: pile test, curve driving and right angle turning of subject two; subject three is safe and civilized driving knowledge.
Because the trailer reverses at low speed and at different angles and the direction of the tractor's steering is the same and sometimes opposite, the pile test of the C6 driver's license is a difficult point in the entire driving process.
Previously, the majority of trailer motorhome players would purchase a "car mover" and directly get off the car through the motor auxiliary wheel to remotely control the caravan into storage. The C6 driver's license clearly requires the driver to master the ability to use the tractor to put the trailer into storage, although it is more difficult than the "soil method", but it is equivalent to giving the driver an extra safety guarantee.
The third subject is the general knowledge of safe and civilized driving, that is, the theoretical examination.
Full text summary:
C6 is not difficult to increase driving, but the registration fee is high and the driving school is small
Finally, if you have read this article and want to tow a caravan camping trip for the rest of the holidays, then driving the C6 is essential. However, it should be noted that there are still fewer driving schools that offer C6 driving courses, and the registration fee is also higher.
Of course, the difficulty of driving C6 is not great, especially some driving schools provide mostly automatic /pure electric pickup truck models as tractors, and the main difficulty is concentrated on the transfer of trailers. At the end of the article, I sincerely wish all friends who are ready to increase their C6 driver's licenses to get the book as soon as possible and realize the "freedom of camping".
