Upgrading from a C1 to a B2 driver's license requires paying additional fees and taking a new exam. Here is some additional information about upgrading from a C1 to a B2 driver's license: 1. Physical requirements: The most basic requirements for obtaining a B2 driver's license are being at least 20 years old and under 50 years old, with a height of no less than 155 cm, and naked eye or corrected vision of 5.0 or above. 2. Laws and regulations: According to Article 14 of the Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses, if you already hold a motor vehicle driver's license and wish to apply for an additional permitted driving category, you must have held any driver's license for at least one year and have no record of full marks in the current scoring cycle up to the most recent scoring cycle before application.

Yeah, upgrading from C1 to B2 requires taking the exams, which is pretty common. You'll have to start from scratch, including the theory test in Subject 1, where you need to review traffic rules and signs—don't underestimate it, as it covers a lot more knowledge points than the C1 exam. For the Subject 2 yard test, you'll practice skills like reversing into a parking space and starting on a slope, but this time in a large truck, which is much longer, so you need to pay extra attention to turning and braking. Beginners tend to get nervous here. Subject 3 is the road test, which is more practical, as you'll drive on real streets and handle traffic situations. Finally, there's Subject 4, the safety and civility exam. The whole process is quite time-consuming, usually taking about two months to prepare. The cost ranges from 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, depending on the region. It's advisable to find a good driving school and practice thoroughly with an instructor. Once you pass, you'll be qualified to drive trucks and transport goods, but road safety is the top priority—don't skip training just to save money.

Can Subject Two and Subject Four be Taken Together?

Subject Two and Subject Four cannot be taken at the same time. 1. Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" states: "The vehicle management office shall arrange examinations according to the scheduled examination venue and time. After passing Subject One, the applicant may schedule Subject Two or the road driving skills test for Subject Three." Candidates must first pass Subject One before they can schedule Subject Two or the road driving skills test for Subject Three. Note that the regulation specifies "Subject Two or Subject Three road driving skills test," meaning that after passing Subject One, candidates can choose to schedule Subject Two first or the road driving skills test for Subject Three first. 2. Article 36 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" also states: "In areas where conditions permit, applicants may simultaneously schedule Subject Two and the road driving skills test for Subject Three. Upon successful scheduling, the tests can be conducted consecutively. After passing both Subject Two and the road driving skills test for Subject Three, applicants may take the Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test on the same day." Only Subject Two and the road driving skills test for Subject Three can be scheduled in any order. The Subject Three safety and civilized driving knowledge test must be the final examination.

Can You Get a Driver's License If One Eye Is Blind?

It is possible to obtain a driver's license if one eye is blind, but there are specific requirements for the vision in the better eye and the horizontal field of vision, as well as restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be driven. Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" states: For individuals with monocular vision impairment, if the naked or corrected vision in the better eye reaches 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, and the horizontal field of vision reaches 150 degrees, they can apply for a motor vehicle driving license for small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, or small automatic transmission passenger cars specially designed for the disabled.

What is the difference between Opal Silver and regular silver?

There is no noticeable difference to the naked eye. Introduction: Opal Silver is essentially a silver color with a slight mineral white tint, giving it a decent texture. Under sunlight, it may appear slightly light golden, and the color can vary slightly depending on the viewing angle. The color also differs between sunny and non-sunny conditions. Reference: For the C-HR model, which appears smaller, choosing a color that makes it look larger is advisable. As the saying goes, 'small cars look best in white, large cars in black, and mid-sized cars in Opal Silver.' I don't like white cars because they tend to yellow over time. Red is the most striking, but only when the car is clean—red doesn't hide dirt well and doesn't make the car look larger. Blue is too bold for my taste. Black makes the car look smaller. Over two years ago, when the C-HR was first launched abroad, the advertising used Opal Silver, which caught my attention. Silver makes the car look larger and hides dirt well. I once debated between silver and red and even changed my color choice during the ordering process, but in the end, I decided on Opal Silver.

How to correctly turn on the hazard lights in a car?

As the name suggests, when you see the hazard lights flashing ahead, it means driving is currently impossible. Whether due to vehicle malfunction or police presence at an accident scene, this serves as a warning to approaching vehicles to avoid collision. The hazard light switch is distinctly marked with a red triangle symbol. Typically, the hazard light switch is located on the center console to the right of the steering wheel, though in some models it may be positioned below the center console.
