B2 License Test Difficulty and Duration The shortest time required to obtain a B2 driver's license from learning to certification is approximately 2 months. As long as you study diligently before the test, the exam is not difficult. Here are the details about the B2 driver's license: 1. Eligible Vehicle Types: The B2 license allows you to drive heavy-duty, medium-duty trucks or large, heavy, and medium-sized special-purpose vehicles. Heavy-duty and medium-duty trucks are primarily trucks. 2. Application Requirements: Applicants must be between 21 and 50 years old; at least 150 cm tall; have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; no red-green color blindness; and be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork.

Getting a B2 driver's license depends on personal foundation and driving school arrangements. When I took the test, I already had some driving experience, but B2 vehicles are larger and harder to control. The written test requires memorizing traffic rules, which took me about a week to prepare. Practical training includes reversing and driving in complex road conditions—practicing two hours daily for two weeks helped me become proficient. From registration to completion, it took about three weeks to a month. The key is frequent practice and mock tests to increase the first-time pass rate. Choosing a good driving school saves time, and booking exams in advance is crucial. Weather conditions like rain or snow can delay training, causing schedule fluctuations, so it's advisable to avoid learning during the rainy season.

The difficulty of obtaining a B2 driver's license varies from person to person, largely depending on your previous driving experience. A friend of mine started from scratch and took nearly a month: one week for theoretical learning, two weeks for practical driving, and one week for exam preparation. The challenges of a B2 license lie in the large vehicle size, requiring precision in reversing and narrow road driving, with a lower pass rate compared to smaller vehicles. In terms of time, if you can practice at the driving school every day, completing it within three weeks isn't difficult; however, working professionals with limited leave might need to extend it to four or five weeks. Budget considerations are also important, as the costs are higher. Practicing more on driving simulators can boost confidence, and once you pass, it becomes much easier.

The B2 driving test isn't particularly difficult, but it requires focused dedication. I recommend choosing an intensive course, compressing both theory and practical training into ten days: spend the first three days memorizing traffic rules, then focus on driving practice for the remaining week. The key is to practice controlling large vehicles, such as steering and parking. Completing it within two weeks is feasible, provided you train consistently every day. Communicating frequently with your instructor about techniques can save time and effort, and your skills for driving large vehicles will be more solid after passing the test.
