You can now directly apply for a B2 driver's license. Below are the specific details about the B2 driver's license: 1. Driving scope: In addition to medium and heavy-duty trucks, you can also drive other permitted vehicle types such as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and M. This means you can drive small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, and wheeled self-propelled machinery. 2. Exam subjects: The B2 driver's license exam consists of Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. 3. Exam content: Subjects 1 and 4 are computer-based tests covering traffic regulations and civilized driving. Subject 2 is a practical test, which includes 16 items: reverse parking and moving in the garage, parallel parking, hill start, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, driving over bumps, passing through a limited-width gate, driving on undulating roads, U-turn on a narrow road, simulating continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, simulating rainy and foggy weather, simulating slippery roads, simulating tunnel driving, simulating highway driving, and simulating emergency handling.
I'm currently preparing to get my driver's license and found out that it's possible to directly apply for a B2 license now. You need to be at least 21 years old, pass a physical examination to prove you're in good health, and then enroll in a driving school or use your own vehicle for training. The whole process is quite straightforward, as you don't need to obtain a small vehicle license first, which is quite convenient. After enrolling, I started with theoretical courses covering traffic regulations and large vehicle operations, followed by practical training like reversing and turning. I feel it's more challenging than getting a C license because it involves large vehicles and stricter safety requirements. The cost is around several thousand yuan, with slight variations depending on local policies, so it's advisable to consult local driving schools in advance for any updates. This path adds flexibility to job opportunities, such as driving trucks.
