Is annual certification required for B2 every year?
2 Answers
The prerequisite for B2 requiring annual inspection is whether there are any violation records during the current scoring cycle (starting from the date of issuance, with one year as a cycle). If there are violations, annual inspection is required; if there are no violation records, annual inspection is not needed. The specific situations requiring annual inspection are as follows: 1. Points deduction: If points are deducted, annual inspection is required. You must go to the vehicle management office for an annual inspection of your driver's license within 30 days after the end of the current scoring cycle; if no points are deducted during a scoring cycle, annual inspection is not required. If you can maintain no points deduction until the expiration of your license for renewal, no annual inspection is needed. 2. Age over 60: Those over 60 years old need annual inspection every year and must submit a health certificate.
Do you ask if the B2 license requires annual review? I've been driving heavy trucks for 20 years, and the current regulations are different from before—annual review is no longer required. However, every two years, you need to undergo a medical examination at a hospital and submit a physical condition certificate to the DMV to maintain your driving qualification. A comprehensive review is only required when renewing the license, such as after six years. I always pay extra attention to safe driving habits, like not speeding or drunk driving, because accumulated penalty points can affect the review process. I also recommend regular checks on vehicle maintenance, ensuring lights and brakes are in good condition, as these can reduce accident risks. Remembering deadlines is crucial—set a reminder on your phone app to avoid delays that could cause trouble, and in severe cases, your license could be revoked. In short, B2 license reviews aren't frequent, but don’t take them lightly. Health and safety should always come first.
