2. The driver's license is reviewed annually. Below are the relevant details: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses": Article 70: Motor vehicle drivers shall, in accordance with the provisions of laws and administrative regulations, regularly undergo review at the traffic management department of the public security authorities. Articles 57 and 58: When renewing a motor vehicle driver's license, the driver shall undergo review by the traffic management department of the public security authorities. Drivers holding licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, urban buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, or large trucks shall undergo review at the traffic management department of the public security authorities within 30 days after the end of each scoring cycle. However, if there are no demerit points recorded during a scoring cycle, the review for that cycle is exempted.
I've been driving large vehicles for many years, and a B2 license indeed requires annual verification. I've personally gone through this process every year—submitting the physical condition certificate at the vehicle management office. The medical check includes vision, color perception, and blood pressure tests to ensure I can still drive safely. For example, during last year's checkup, the doctor noticed my myopia had worsened slightly and promptly advised correction. The verification process is straightforward: bring your ID card and a copy of your driver's license, and it takes less than an hour to complete. The cost is minimal, just a few dozen yuan. But don’t take it lightly—missing the deadline could result in a frozen license, making driving illegal. I now set a phone reminder to go at the same time every year. Safe driving starts with these small details; maintaining good physical condition is key to handling large vehicles well.
