Can a B2 Driving License Drive a 14-Seater Bus?
2 Answers
b2 driving license cannot drive a 14-seater bus. A B2 license allows driving buses with 9 seats or fewer, specifically blue-plate small buses with a length under 6 meters. Additional information is as follows: Permitted vehicle types for B2 license: The B2 license permits driving heavy and medium-duty trucks, primarily including dump trucks, as well as large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles, which are vehicles equipped with specialized equipment or devices, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, and fire trucks. Other permitted vehicle types under the B2 license include all vehicle types allowed by C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses, covering small and micro passenger vehicles (accommodating 9 people or fewer), three-wheeled motor vehicles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, and light, small, and micro steering operation vehicles.
I've been driving for many years with a B2 license, which mainly allows me to operate small vehicles or trucks, but not 14-seater buses. According to regulations, buses with more than 9 seats are classified as medium-sized buses and require a B1 license. A 14-seater bus carries more people, is much harder to control than a small car, and has a longer braking distance, increasing the risk of accidents on the road. From my extensive experience, I've seen some people recklessly driving buses with just a B2 license, only to be stopped by the police, fined, and penalized with points. They might even have their license revoked, which would be a huge loss. If you want to drive a bus, you should go to a driving school to get a B1 license. The process isn't complicated, and with more practice in safe driving techniques, it's manageable. Don't take chances to avoid accidents.
