B2 license cannot drive a semi-trailer. A B2 license only permits driving heavy and large trucks, as well as vehicle types C1-C4 and M. Semi-trailers are within the scope of an A2 license. Below is more information about semi-trailers: 1. Definition of a semi-trailer: A semi-trailer is a trailer with axles placed behind the vehicle's center of gravity (when the vehicle is evenly loaded) and equipped with a coupling device that can transmit horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor. Semi-trailers are generally three-axle trailers, with types including 11-meter cargo trailers, 13-meter cargo trailers, low flatbed semi-trailers, and many others. They are a type of heavy transport vehicle connected to the tractor via a fifth wheel coupling. 2. Precautions for driving a semi-trailer: While driving, avoid making large steering wheel movements because the vehicle body is relatively long. Large movements could lead to rollovers, and extra caution is needed when turning to ensure sufficient space is allowed; otherwise, the tail might not clear obstacles and could swing out dangerously.
