I'm Special, You're Special
My motherboard used to tell me I was just the most handsome and special droid ever invented. Well, there are special driver licenses too. We'll call them classes of licenses, class M, C, B, and A.
Class M
Class M, think of this as Class Motorcycle or Moped. To get this license, you'll need to complete a driver's education course (yours truly) and a DPS (Department of Public Safety) basic motorcycle operator training course (16 hours).
What is a DPS office? You know, the place you're going to get that driver license.
You need to be 16 to drive a motorcycle and already have a driver license, and 15 to drive a moped (with parental permission).
Class C
Class C is your basic license. That's your end goal by taking this course. You can drive any vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) less than 26,001 lbs (garbage trucks and cement mixers are just a bit too big) and a trailer less than 10,000 lbs. In other words, you can drive any basic vehicle.
Class B
For Class B, think of it as Class Bus. With a Class B driver license, you can drive in any of the following scenarios: a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 lbs or more, a vehicle less than 10,000 lbs, or a farm trailer less than 20,000 lbs.
And of course, you can drive a bus. Specifically, you can drive a bus with 24 or more passengers.
Class A
Class A, we'll call it Class Amazing. You can drive every type of vehicle described in classes B & C without limitations due to vehicle size.
But you can't drive commercial vehicles. So maybe Class A isn't that amazing. Then what's so special about commercial vehicles?
