Do You Need to Learn Small Vehicles Before Learning Large Vehicles?

No, you can directly learn to drive a B2 vehicle. The process of obtaining a driver's license: Registration, traffic regulations study, subject one test, subject two test, subject three test. Test content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, as well as three items: field driving, road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Specific test contents include reversing into a garage, narrow road U-turns, parallel parking, hill start, right-angle turns, curve driving, emergency braking, tunnels, toll booth card collection straight-line driving, lane changing, passing intersections, pulling over, etc.
Having driven for over a decade, I believe it's better to learn with small vehicles before tackling large ones. Small cars are compact and easy to operate, with light steering that makes parking and turning more manageable—laying a solid foundation is crucial. If beginners jump straight to large vehicles, the heavy weight and numerous blind spots increase the risk of losing control, which is too dangerous. From my experience, learning with small cars helps develop road awareness: checking mirrors, using turn signals, and obeying traffic lights. Regulation-wise, most regions require a small vehicle license before applying for a large vehicle permit, as the tests share overlapping content. After getting my small car license, I accumulated two years of driving experience before learning to drive a truck, and it felt smooth—with strong basics, mastering large vehicle operations was faster and safer. Learning to drive is a step-by-step process; taking it one step at a time saves time and hassle, and preventing accidents is paramount. On the road, most accidents involving beginners driving large vehicles stem from weak fundamentals. Small vehicle training helps build good habits. Driving school data also shows higher success rates with sequential learning. In short, don’t rush—build a solid foundation before taking on bigger challenges.
