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

b2 driver's license can drive blue-plate minibuses with 9 seats or less and a vehicle length of less than 6 meters. The vehicle types permitted by a B2 driver's license include: 1. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks, mostly trucks; 2. Large, heavy-duty, and medium-duty special-purpose vehicles, which refer to vehicles equipped with special equipment or devices, such as sprinkler trucks, concrete mixer trucks, and fire trucks. In addition to the above vehicle types, the B2 driver's license also includes all vehicle types permitted by C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses, which include small and micro passenger vehicles (with 9 or fewer passengers), three-wheeled vehicles, wheeled self-propelled machinery, and light, small, and micro steering operation vehicles.
I remember previously obtaining a B2 driver's license, which allows me to drive passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer, such as small passenger vehicles like family MPVs or minivans. The reason is simple: the B2 license covers the scope of the C1 category, so it permits driving such vehicles. However, vehicles with more than 9 seats are not allowed. For vehicles with 10 to 19 seats, a B1 license is required, and for those with 20 seats or more, an A1 license is necessary. I think it's essential to carefully check the vehicle's manual before driving to confirm the seating capacity. Otherwise, not only could you face fines for overloading if caught, but the risk of accidents also increases significantly. During regular maintenance, it's also good to check the vehicle's documentation to ensure safe driving is prioritized.
