After you figure out what office to visit to actually get a driver's license, you need to figure out what type, or in Traffic Code terms, what class of license, you need to apply for. In Texas, there are four different classes of driver's licenses. Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class M. The four difference classes are categorized based on the weight of the vehicle or vehicles you will be operating. Starting with the heavist weight, in Class A and decending downward.
Class A normally applies to any non-commercial combination vehicle weighing more than 26,000 pounds; generally covers motor homes towing cars. Class B applies to any non-commercial vehicle weighing more than 26,000 pounds; generally covers motor homes. Class C applies to most cars. Class M actually makes some sort of sense in reference to the Class of license, as it refers to a licnse for motorcycles and mopeds. Mopeds? Yes, you do need a driver's license to operate a moded on public roadways!
You notice one of these Classes of driver's licenses apply to commercial vehicles. If you need a commecial license you have to apply for a CDL license. Join me next week for a discussion about CDL driver's licenses.
Happy driving, be safe and Namaste!
