Does a B2 Driver's License Require Annual Review?
2 Answers
B2 driver's license does not require annual review if no points are deducted. Here is the relevant introduction about whether a B2 driver's license requires annual review: Points deducted: Annual review 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 the current scoring cycle, they need to go to the vehicle management office for an annual review of the driver's license. If no points are deducted within a scoring cycle, then no annual review is required. If this can be maintained, there will be no need for annual review until the driver's license expires and needs to be renewed. Age over 60: Those over 60 years old need an annual review every year and must submit a health certificate. Normally, for the annual review of a B2 driver's license, the driver does not need to undergo a physical examination or submit physical examination materials, but they need to fill out a form to declare their physical condition. However, if the age reaches 60 or older, a hospital physical examination and health certificate are required.
I've been driving heavy trucks for ten years, and yes, B2 driver's licenses require annual review, but it depends on traffic violation points. At the end of a one-year scoring cycle, if you have no points deducted, you don’t need to do anything—just handle it when renewing your license. If points are deducted, you must go to the DMV within 30 days to study traffic rules and submit a physical health certificate. The study material is usually some traffic safety videos, followed by a simple test. This rule is good—it reminds us truck drivers not to get too complacent, as accidents often happen due to carelessness. I remember once I got points deducted for speeding, so I quickly went in for a half-hour study session and also had a vision check. The license renewal cycle is every 6 or 10 years, and the medical exam is done in one go. I recommend setting a phone reminder to check for points—don’t miss the deadline, stay safe and worry-free.
