Can a B2 License Holder Drive a Yellow-plated Maybach?
2 Answers
B2 can drive a yellow-plated Maybach. The vehicle types that a B2 license can drive include: heavy and medium-duty trucks, heavy and medium-duty special operation vehicles, with most heavy and medium-duty trucks being primarily trucks. Other vehicle types that a B2 license can drive are: C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), M (wheeled self-propelled machinery), which is the same as the B1 license. Maybach has models such as the 62 and 57. For example, the Maybach 62 further developed innovative technologies unique to Mercedes-Benz sedans and incorporated them as standard features in Maybach sedans, such as the Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) electro-hydraulic braking system, AIRMATIC DC (dual control mechanism) electronically controlled air suspension, LINGUATRONIC voice control system, COMAND APS cockpit management and data system, and TELEAID emergency call system.
As someone who frequently helps friends with car-related matters, I can tell you that a B2 driver's license primarily allows you to operate large trucks or medium-sized passenger vehicles, such as vans or buses, with a vehicle length typically under 6 meters to qualify for blue license plates. However, luxury sedans like the Maybach 62 with yellow plates exceed 6 meters in length and are classified as large passenger vehicles, falling under the category that requires a B1 or Class A license. Legally, you are absolutely not permitted to drive such a vehicle with a B2 license. If caught by traffic police, you could face point deductions, fines, and even license suspension. If you genuinely enjoy driving large luxury vehicles, I recommend upgrading to a B1 or Class A license at a driving school first. There are actually plenty of vehicles you can drive with a B2 license, such as pickup trucks or compact SUVs—they're safer and more economical. But never take the risk of driving a yellow-plated vehicle. Following the rules is the only way to stay safe on the road.
