Japanese Driver's License Types - INI

Driver's license types are classified into three categories: Class 1 license (for general vehicle operation), Class 2 license (for passenger transport and commercial purposes), and provisional license (for practice). Class 1 licenses are further subdivided into 10 types: large vehicles, medium vehicles, quasi-medium vehicles, ordinary vehicles, large special vehicles, large motorcycles, ordinary motorcycles, small special vehicles, motorized bicycles, and towed vehicles. Each type defines the range of vehicles that can be operated, with higher-level licenses allowing operation of lower-level vehicles as well.
