“Class C two-axle trucks overloaded face heavy fines,” “How many tons can a Class C license drive?” – Are you a new driver wondering about the permissible weight for a Class C license? Don’t worry, this article will answer all your questions about the Class C driving license and its weight limits.

What is a Class C Driving License? How Many Tons Can It Drive?

A Class C license is a type of driver’s license that allows you to operate trucks with a tonnage of over 3.5 tons and vehicles carrying more than 9 passengers (excluding the driver’s seat). Currently, Class C licenses are divided into 3 categories: C, FC, and D.

Class C Driving License Classification Table

Class Vehicle Type Allowed Permissible Weight
C Trucks with a designed tonnage of over 3,500 kg; vehicles carrying more than 9 passengers Unlimited weight
FC Trucks with a designed tonnage from 3,500 kg to under 7,500 kg
D Trucks with a designed tonnage of 7,500 kg or more

Note: Weight information is for reference only. The actual weight limit depends on the vehicle’s permissible total weight as stated in the vehicle registration certificate.

Why is it Important to Know the Permissible Weight of a Class C License?

Understanding the permissible weight of a Class C license is crucial for the following reasons:

  • Avoid fines: Overloading is a serious traffic violation that can result in heavy fines and even license revocation.
  • Ensure safety: Overloading makes the vehicle difficult to control, increases the risk of traffic accidents, and endangers yourself and other road users.
  • Protect your vehicle: Frequent overloading will cause the vehicle to break down quickly and reduce its lifespan.
