Does a B2 driver's license require annual review if there are no demerit points?

B2 license without demerit points does not require annual inspection. Requirements for B2 driver's license annual review: The B2 driver's license implements an annual review, which must be completed within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle at the local vehicle management office where the license was issued. However, if there is no cumulative demerit point record during the current scoring cycle, the review for that cycle can be exempted. No demerit points mean no review required: If there are consistently no demerit points, then no review is needed until the license renewal upon expiration. The B2 driver's license requires submitting a medical examination form to the vehicle management office within 15 days after the initial issuance each year. Otherwise, if not submitted for one year past the deadline, the vehicle management office will automatically revoke the driver's license.
Regarding the question of whether a B2 driver's license needs annual review if no points are deducted, I have always maintained the habit of regular inspections. According to traffic regulations, Class B licenses, including B2, require a biennial review regardless of whether points have been deducted. Having driven trucks for many years, I deeply understand that safety comes first—even without accidents, physical conditions can change, such as declining vision or slower reflexes. The annual review helps detect these details in time. No points deducted only means no past violations, but the law mandates reviews to confirm driving eligibility. If you skip the review, traffic police may impose penalties or even revoke your license upon inspection, which would be far more troublesome. I visit the local traffic management office every year—the process is simple: fill out a form, submit a medical report, and it takes just half an hour. It’s entirely worth the time to ensure road safety. After all, driving a truck carries greater responsibility; a single oversight could lead to disaster. So don’t slack off—timely annual reviews are the wise choice.
