It is necessary for young people to obtain a B2 driver's license. Here are the specific details about the B2 driver's license: 1. Driving scope: In addition to medium and heavy-duty trucks, it also allows driving other permitted vehicle types such as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and M. This means small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, and wheeled self-propelled machinery can all be driven. 2. Examination subjects: The B2 driver's license test is divided into Subject 1, Subject 2, Subject 3, and Subject 4. 3. Examination content: Subjects 1 and 4 are computer-based tests covering traffic regulations and civilized driving. Subject 2 is a practical test, consisting of 16 items: reverse parking and garage shifting, parallel parking, hill start, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, driving over bumps, passing through a width-restricted gate, driving on undulating roads, narrow road U-turn, simulating continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, simulating rainy and foggy weather, simulating slippery roads, simulating tunnel driving, simulating highway driving, and simulating emergency handling.
When I first graduated, I wanted to get a B2 driver's license because the logistics and express delivery industries are booming right now. For young people, if they have the opportunity to drive large vehicles, their income can be several thousand yuan more per month compared to driving smaller cars. I've seen many friends working at JD.com or SF Express who have advanced their careers and increased their salaries thanks to this skill—once learned, it's useful for life. However, you shouldn’t rush into getting the license blindly; you need to consider actual needs. If you don’t plan to enter the transportation industry for now, getting the license just for the sake of it can be costly—registration fees, practice time, and even waiting for scheduling all take effort. Moreover, large vehicles are harder to control, pose higher safety risks, and have stricter requirements for beginners. I suggest young people evaluate their career plans first. If they’re truly ambitious, they should start early, but they shouldn’t treat it as a must-have threshold at the expense of their strengths.
