B2 driver's license examination after the one-year probation period mainly tests knowledge of road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency handling, etc. After the exam, there is also a mandatory traffic accident case warning education session lasting no less than half an hour. Even with a perfect score, the exam is still required. Basic introduction to B2 driver's license: 1. Purpose of B2 driver's license: It allows driving heavy and medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles. Heavy and medium-duty trucks are mostly trucks, such as the large dump trucks commonly seen on roads, which fall under the category of heavy-duty trucks. Large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles refer to vehicles equipped with special devices or equipment, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc. 2. Other permitted vehicle types: Other vehicle types permitted under the B2 license include C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery), which is the same as the B1 driver's license.
As someone who has been through it, let me share about the B2 license upgrade exam. After your probation period ends, you can directly go to the DMV to schedule the exam without retaking training. For the theory test (Subject 1), practicing with the Driving Test App is sufficient. Once passed, you can immediately schedule Subject 2. The yard test's reversing and moving between garages are the challenging parts – it's advisable to rent the exam vehicle for two hours beforehand to familiarize yourself with the reference points. For the road test (Subject 3), focus on parallel parking and maintaining straight-line stability – stay calm and you'll pass. Remember to bring your ID card and original driver's license. If you complete Subject 3 in the morning, you can take Subject 4 in the afternoon – getting your license in one day is entirely possible. The total cost is around 500 yuan, much cheaper than getting the initial license.
Last time I accompanied my cousin to upgrade his license to B2, the process was really straightforward. After the probation period ends, you can directly schedule the exam on the 12123 app. Both the theory tests (Subjects 1 and 4) are computer-based. The key is Subject 2—the S-curve width at our test site is just enough for a truck to pass, so turning the steering wheel slowly is the way to go. If you draw the night test for Subject 3, don’t panic; there are only a few combinations for the light operations. You get two attempts during the entire exam—treat the first mistake as a chance to familiarize yourself with the route. Remember to photocopy your documents in advance, as printing on-site costs three times more. Don’t leave in a hurry after passing; you must sign on the spot to receive your new license.
