How many passenger seats can a B2 driver's license drive?

B2 driver's license can only drive blue-plate minibuses with 9 seats or fewer and a vehicle length under 6 meters. Related knowledge about B2 driver's license: 1. Permitted vehicle types: The permitted vehicle types include heavy and medium-duty trucks, mostly trucks such as dump trucks. It also includes large, heavy, and medium-duty special-purpose vehicles, which refer to vehicles equipped with special equipment or devices, such as water sprinklers, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc. 2. Other vehicle types: In addition to the above-mentioned vehicle types, the B2 license also covers all vehicle types permitted by C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses. These include small and micro passenger vehicles (with 9 or fewer passengers), three-wheeled vehicles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, and light, small, and micro special-purpose vehicles. Since large, heavy, and medium-duty trucks are already permitted, small and micro trucks naturally fall under this category.

I've driven several types of passenger vehicles because I have a B2 driver's license, which allows me to operate small passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, including common MPVs or minivans, counting the driver's seat. If you drive a vehicle with more than 10 seats, such as a school bus or coach, you need to upgrade to a B1 or A1 license, otherwise it's considered illegal driving. Driving these small passenger vehicles is quite convenient for picking up family and friends without worrying about insufficient seating, but you must be careful not to overload or drive too fast—safety comes first. When choosing a vehicle, verify the number of seats, as some vehicles labeled as nine-seaters might include a small stool in the trunk, which is also illegal and could result in a ticket. Learning more about regulations helps ensure a safe and worry-free driving experience.

I know that a B2 driver's license only allows driving passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats, which is designed based on traffic regulations for driving safety. Driving smaller vehicles like 7 or 8-seat SUVs is easier to handle and suitable for ordinary daily use. If driving a medium-sized passenger vehicle with more than 9 seats, a B1 license is required. I once encountered a case where a friend was fined heavily after being caught driving a 10-seat minivan. When driving vehicles within the B2 license scope, it's also necessary to consider the vehicle's condition and road conditions, such as driving slowly in rainy weather or performing regular maintenance, to extend the vehicle's lifespan and ensure passenger comfort.

After obtaining my B2 driver's license, I was excited to drive a few times in a 9-seater minibus, such as a family MPV, which was perfect for taking the whole family on trips. It doesn't allow driving larger vehicles like 18-seater coaches, which require a B1 license. Starting with these smaller vehicles is simple, with light and easy handling that even beginners can manage. I recommend new drivers to first practice with 5-seater sedans before trying vehicles in the 9-seater range. Avoid experimenting with over-capacity driving to prevent wasting the effort put into obtaining the license.

Our family chose a six-seater car to drive, which falls within the scope of a B2 driver's license, making it just right for picking up the kids from school or going to the supermarket. Driving a passenger vehicle with fewer than nine seats saves space and fuel, unlike larger buses which are more cumbersome to operate. Driving with more seats requires a B1 license to be legal, but I evaluated that the cost of upgrading is high, so practicality comes first. When choosing a car, we picked a reliable brand with a good safety system to prevent accidents.
