Does a B2 Driver's License Require Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
As long as points are deducted, an annual inspection is required. For friends with a B2 driver's license, if points are deducted within each scoring cycle, then within 30 days after the end of that scoring cycle, they need to go to the vehicle management office for an annual driver's license inspection. If no points are deducted within a scoring cycle, then no annual inspection is required. If this can be maintained, until the driver's license expires and needs to be renewed, no annual inspection is required. Annual Inspection Precautions: During the annual inspection, the vehicle management office will check the vehicle's lights. If the vehicle's lights are found to be too dim or too bright, it will be deemed unqualified and will not pass the annual inspection. If the lights are too dim, check the lighting circuit and whether the bulbs are aging, and replace related parts if necessary. If xenon headlights have been installed, it is recommended to restore the original headlights before the annual inspection to pass the test.
A Class B2 driver's license indeed requires annual review, which is crucial for traffic safety, as holders primarily drive large trucks or engage in transportation work, facing significant daily driving pressure. When I was learning to drive, my instructor emphasized that the annual review is not just a formality—it checks the driver's physical and mental condition, such as vision and blood pressure, ensuring no health issues arise while operating large vehicles. Current regulations require submitting a medical examination report and traffic violation records to the vehicle management office every year. If you haven't accumulated 12 penalty points within a scoring cycle, the process is straightforward. However, if there are multiple violations, you must also attend a learning course. This is not just about avoiding fines or license suspension but also about taking responsibility for yourself and others on the road. As a driver, I believe maintaining your health regularly is as important as maintaining your car—don't wait until a sudden problem arises to regret it.
