According to the "Regulations on the Business Operations of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," a B2 driver's license allows the holder to drive heavy and medium-duty trucks, as well as heavy and medium-duty specialized operation vehicles. Other permitted vehicle types include: C1, C2, C3, C4, and M. Drivers must operate motor vehicles strictly within the scope of their license's permitted vehicle types. Per the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted types on one's license is considered unlicensed driving. Penalties include a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 RMB, 12 demerit points, and possible detention for up to 15 days. Under Article 90 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be subject to warnings or fines. If other provisions of this law apply, penalties will be enforced accordingly. As stipulated by the "Regulations on the Business Operations of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" issued by the public security authorities, motor vehicle driver's licenses follow a hierarchical system, categorizing licenses into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each license level are as follows: A1 license holders can drive large passenger vehicles. A2 license holders can drive tractor units, heavy and medium-duty full trailers, and semi-trailer combinations. A3 license holders can drive city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 license holders can drive heavy passenger vehicles. C1 license holders can drive small and mini passenger vehicles. C2 license holders can drive small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles. C3 license holders can drive low-speed trucks (formerly four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license holders can drive three-wheeled vehicles (formerly three-wheeled agricultural transport vehicles). M license holders can drive wheeled self-propelled machinery. N license holders can drive trolleybuses. P license holders can drive trams. B2 license application requirements: Applicants must be between 20 and 60 years old, with a height of at least 1.55 meters for large vehicles.

Applicants must either obtain the license directly or hold any other driver's license for at least one year. Additionally, they must have no traffic violation records with 12 or more demerit points within the past year. Local residents must apply in their place of household registration, while non-local residents can apply in their temporary residence locations. Active military personnel (including armed police) must apply in their place of residence. Foreign nationals must apply in their place of stay or residence.
