Can I Wear Glasses When Taking the B2 Driving Test?
2 Answers
There are no restrictions on wearing glasses when taking the B2 driving test, but glasses are not allowed during the photo session. Details are as follows: Myopia does not affect driving a motor vehicle and will not have any impact on obtaining a driver's license. Only those with severely impaired vision or abnormal color perception are affected. Not wearing glasses when nearsighted can easily lead to accidents. Due to the refraction differences between lenses and light, the image distance formed in the eyes may slightly deviate. Wearing glasses can provide clearer driving vision and more accurate sight. The motor vehicle driving test is an examination to obtain a driver's license, using nationally unified test subjects and passing standards. The test is divided into three subjects and four exams: theoretical knowledge, field driving skills, road driving skills, and civilized driving-related knowledge. The basic process includes form filling, physical examination, acceptance, payment, examination, and license issuance. B2 driving covers heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized specialized operation vehicles, with heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks mainly being trucks. Individuals aged 60 or above are not allowed to drive large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, and trams.
I recently obtained my B2 driver's license and found wearing glasses was completely fine. During the driving school's physical exam, the staff directly asked if I was nearsighted. I wore my regular prescription glasses for the vision test and passed easily. I kept them on throughout the exam, and the examiner never mentioned any restrictions. Just a heads-up though - your lens prescription must be up-to-date. My friend almost failed the physical because his old glasses didn't meet the standard. If you usually wear contacts, that's acceptable too, but it's better to wear frames during the physical as doctors need to verify the correction effect on-site. The key is ensuring your corrected vision meets requirements, otherwise you won't even qualify for the test. After getting licensed, definitely keep wearing them while driving - safety first.
