Is the B2 License Test Difficult?
2 Answers
It is not easy. The B2 driver's license can be referred to as the 'cargo transport license.' With a B2 license, you can drive all types of trucks except for tractor-trailers (semi-trucks). In the current booming logistics industry, a survey shows that the first-time pass rate for the B2 license in a certain region is only 40%. Additional information: The B2 license's Subject 2 test consists of 16 mandatory items, which are reverse parking in a bay, parallel parking, hill start, single-plank bridge, curve driving, right-angle turn, driving through continuous obstacles, passing through a limited-width gate, driving on undulating roads, narrow road U-turn, simulating continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, simulating rain and fog conditions, simulating slippery roads, simulating tunnel driving, simulating highway driving, and simulating emergency handling.
I just passed my B2 driver's license test, and honestly, it wasn't easy. For the written test, I had to study over a thousand questions, spending a whole week memorizing all the road signs and traffic rules. The practical part was even tougher – driving a heavy truck feels completely different from a regular car. Just practicing reverse parking took me half a month. My instructor said I turned the steering wheel too slowly, but the old Liberation truck used in the exam was even heavier. During the parallel parking test in the second stage, I almost crossed the line. I trained for two full months before daring to take the exam – out of ten people in my batch at the driving school, three failed. Fortunately, retakes are allowed now, though the retake fee costs half a meal's worth. The key is more practice, especially for maneuvers like reversing and garage parking – don't find them boring.
