Now you can directly apply for a B2 license. First-time applicants for a driver's license can directly apply for the medium-sized bus driving category, provided they are between 21 and 50 years old. You can register for the exam at the vehicle management office or a driving school. To directly apply for a B2 driver's license, you must pass a physical examination with both eyes having a vision of 5.0, no color blindness, and sound limbs. A B2 license allows you to drive heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are mainly trucks, while large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with special equipment or devices, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc.

I've been thinking about getting a B2 driver's license recently, as it allows skipping the C1 license directly, which is quite convenient. You just need to be at least 18 years old and under 60, register at a local driving school, pay some basic fees, and pass the physical examination. The test consists of a theoretical section and a practical section, requiring some time to practice handling large vehicles. After obtaining the license, driving large trucks becomes very convenient, with significantly higher wages than car drivers and more job opportunities. Regularly participating in on-site training at the driving school can improve driving skills and also help you meet a group of enthusiastic peers. Overall, the process is clear and not complicated; as long as you're willing to put in the effort, you can get it done in a few months.

As a seasoned long-distance driver, I highly recommend going straight for the B2 license—no need to bother with the C1 first. Current policies allow skipping lower-level tests; just bring your ID and health certificate when registering. The exam is moderately challenging: the theory part covers traffic rules, while the practical focuses on reverse parking and hill starts. With a B2 license, you can drive medium to large vehicles, making it ideal for those eyeing the logistics industry for more stable income. I also advise new trainees not to slack off during training—larger vehicles are more complex to operate, and safety always comes first on the road.

Young people who want to get a B2 driver's license, just go for it! I just passed it this year, and the steps are super simple: submit an application online or at a driving school, pass a basic physical exam, and then roll up your sleeves to practice for Subject 2 and Subject 3. The benefits are saving time and money. Once you pass, you can drive trucks or vans, making it much easier to find a job. Many courier companies prioritize hiring people with a B2 license, and the starting salary is also higher. Review the test bank a few times before the exam, find a reliable coach, and don’t worry about failing the test.
