Can I directly take the B2 driving license test?
2 Answers
You can directly take the B2 driving license test. Here are some relevant introductions about B2: 1. Vehicles allowed: The B2 license permits driving heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, medium-sized special operation vehicles. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks mainly refer to trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads transporting construction waste, which belong to heavy-duty trucks. 2. Difference from A2: The difference between A2 and B2 licenses is that A2 is for tractor-trailers, which consist of a tractor head and a trailer; while B2 is for single-unit cargo trucks.
Right after graduation, I'm considering getting a heavy vehicle driver's license since I plan to work in the freight industry, so I'm aiming directly for the B2 test. According to the driving school instructor, as long as you're at least 20 years old and in good health, you can directly apply for the B2 license without needing to start with a small car license first. The process includes theoretical knowledge and practical exams, such as traffic rules in Subject 1, and reversing and field driving in Subject 2. The overall difficulty is not low, but with enough practice, you can pass. I recommend enrolling in a formal driving school for training first to get familiar with heavy vehicle control techniques—it's much more hassle-free than self-study. Once you pass, you can drive medium or large trucks, and there are plenty of job opportunities. Just remember to get a medical check-up before the exam to ensure your vision meets the requirements.
