Can an 18-year-old obtain a B2 driver's license?

No, according to Article 12 of the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses,' applicants for the large truck (B2) driving category must be at least 20 years old. Here is some relevant information about the B2 license: B2: The B2 license allows the holder to drive heavy-duty, medium-duty cargo trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles. Heavy-duty and medium-duty cargo trucks are mainly trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads, which fall under the category of heavy-duty trucks. Special-purpose vehicles: Large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with specialized devices or equipment, such as water sprinklers, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc.
Just helped my cousin check yesterday, you can definitely get a B2 driver's license at the age of 18. The current driving license policy is quite open about age, as long as you pass the physical exams like vision and hearing, you can sign up right away. However, B2 for large trucks and C1 for small cars are completely different things. The driving instructors suggest that those who have some steering wheel experience should go for it. The young guys at our training ground practice reverse parking for the second subject every day, working harder than preparing for college entrance exams. Don't worry about being young, I've seen 19-year-olds doing refrigerated transport. The key is to learn the skills diligently.
