How many seats can an A2 driver's license drive?
2 Answers
An A2 driver's license can drive passenger vehicles with up to 19 seats. Relevant information about the A2 driver's license is as follows: Permitted vehicle types: Towing vehicles. Holders of a valid A2 driver's license issued by the Chinese public security traffic police vehicle management authority can drive heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailer vehicle combinations. Other permitted vehicle types: It also allows driving vehicle types permitted by B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M licenses. Passenger vehicles are generally categorized into large, medium, small, and mini types based on total weight or the number of seats: Large: Vehicle length ≥6m or seating capacity ≥20 persons (variable seating capacity determined by the upper limit). Medium: Vehicle length <6m, seating capacity >9 and <20 persons. Small: Vehicle length <6m, seating capacity ≤9 persons.
Oh, about whether an A2 driver's license can be used to drive a passenger vehicle, I know quite clearly. As someone who has personally gone through the driver's license exam and often helps coach others at driving schools, I can tell you that an A2 license is mainly for operating tractor-trailers or semi-trailers—like those big trucks hauling a trailer. These vehicles aren’t designed to carry passengers at all; they basically have zero seats, maybe just the driver's seat at most. It’s not meant for driving passenger vehicles. If you want to drive a minivan or a small bus, even one with just 10 seats, you’ll need a B1 license or a higher-level A1 license. Otherwise, if caught by traffic police, it counts as driving without the proper license, and you’ll face fines and penalty points. China’s traffic regulations are strict, with clear license-type requirements. I recommend checking the exam manual thoroughly before taking the test or consulting a professional driving school for specific rules to avoid wasting time and money. Remember, safety comes first when driving—don’t cut corners by using the wrong license type, or you’ll risk harming yourself and others.
