B2 license can only drive small blue-plate passenger vehicles with 9 seats or less and a vehicle length under 6 meters. Related knowledge about B2 license: 1. Permitted vehicle types: The permitted vehicle types include heavy and medium-duty trucks, mostly 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 sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, fire trucks, etc. 2. Other vehicle types: In addition to the above, 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 specialized operation vehicles. Large, heavy, and medium-duty trucks are all permitted, and small and micro cargo vehicles are naturally included.
I've been driving for over ten years now. With a B2 license, you're allowed to operate passenger vehicles with up to 9 seats, such as small vans or 9-seater business vehicles. I remember when I first started driving, I occasionally used small passenger vehicles for convenience, but you must not exceed the seating capacity - anything over 9 seats requires upgrading to a B1 license. The regulations are quite clear now - the vehicle administration office signs clearly indicate the maximum seating capacity. I advise beginners not to be careless; check the vehicle manual to confirm the number of seats, as safe driving is paramount. If you're caught overloading by traffic police, it's not just about the fine but also affects your insurance. While driving small vehicles makes urban navigation convenient, following the rules is crucial - don't risk it for temporary convenience.
I just passed my B2 license test and I know it allows me to drive small passenger vehicles with up to 9 seats, such as vans or 7-seater SUVs. The driving instructor particularly emphasized the seating capacity limit - don't even think about driving a coach for travel, that requires a higher-level license. I quite enjoy driving small cars to pick up friends, but need to maintain good vehicle condition and avoid drowsiness on highways to prevent accidents. Exceeding seating capacity can lead to serious violations - I've heard some people try to save money by squeezing in extra passengers only to get penalty points, which isn't worth it. It's best to check passenger count before driving for safe and relaxed travel.
