How many subjects need to be retaken for upgrading from C2 to B2?
2 Answers
Upgrading from C2 to B2 requires retaking the exam. The B2 driver's license test consists of 4 subjects, among which Subject 1 and Subject 4 are theoretical tests. The B2 driver's license test includes: 1. Subject 1: A theoretical test on traffic regulations and other related content. 2. Subject 2: A skills test on the driving field, which includes 16 items such as reversing and moving in a garage, parallel parking, stopping on a slope, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turning, driving over bumps, passing through a width-limited gate, driving on undulating roads, making a U-turn on a narrow road, simulating continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, simulating rainy and foggy weather conditions, simulating slippery roads, simulating tunnel driving, simulating highway driving, and simulating emergency handling. 3. Subject 3: A road test, where various tasks are completed on actual roads. 4. Subject 4: A test on civilized driving and other related content.
I remember back when I wanted to upgrade from a C2 license to a B2 license to drive heavy trucks, I specifically went to the driving school to inquire. The upgrade process is called 'license addition,' and it requires passing all four subject exams: Subject 1 tests theoretical knowledge, expanding the question bank from small vehicles to rules for large vehicles; Subject 2 involves practicing yard driving like reversing and hill starts—large vehicles are more cumbersome to control and prone to crossing lines; Subject 3 is the actual road test, including traffic sign recognition and emergency handling; Subject 4 covers safe and civilized driving, similar to an advanced version of traffic regulations. The whole process was more challenging than getting the C2 license—it took me over three months to complete. But after finishing, I felt much more confident driving large vehicles. Safety first, after all.
