What are the B1 license test items?

[EmiliaFitz]

B1 license test is divided into Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, as follows: Subject 1: The test content includes road traffic rules, traffic signals, traffic safety violations and accident handling, motor vehicle driver's license application and usage, motor vehicle registration regulations, and other road traffic safety laws, regulations, and rules. Subject 2: The test content includes large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks for pole tests, hill-start and stop, parallel parking, single-plank bridge crossing, curve driving, right-angle turns, passing through width-limited gates, passing continuous obstacles, bumpy road driving, narrow road U-turns, as well as simulated highway driving, continuous sharp turns on mountain roads, tunnels, rainy (foggy) conditions, slippery roads, and emergency handling. Subject 3: The road driving skills test includes large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, small cars, small automatic transmission cars, low-speed trucks, and small automatic transmission passenger cars for the disabled. Test items include preparation before starting, starting, straight-line driving, gear shifting, lane changing, pulling over, passing straight through intersections, left turns at intersections, right turns at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing school zones, passing bus stops, meeting vehicles, overtaking, U-turns, and night driving. Subject 4: Safety knowledge test. The total test time is 45 minutes, with a full score of 100, and a passing score of 90 or above. Those who fail can retake the test after 10 days. The B1 license allows driving medium-sized passenger vehicles, defined as vehicles not exceeding 6 meters in length, with a seating capacity of 10 (inclusive) to 19 (inclusive) passengers. Other permitted vehicle types include C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery). Note that the B1 license does not include B2. If a B1 license holder wants to drive large trucks, they can upgrade their license to B1B2 (or A1, A2, A1A2, etc.). Application requirements: Height: Applicants for medium-sized passenger vehicles must be at least 150 cm tall. Vision: Applicants for large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams must have uncorrected or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. Hearing: Must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear 50 cm from a tuning fork. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. Torso and neck: No movement dysfunction. B1 test precautions: Reverse from the starting point into the second bay and stop, then move forward and backward twice to shift into the first bay and stop correctly. Proceed forward through the second bay onto the road, reverse into the first bay and stop correctly, then exit and return to the starting point. Drive according to the specified route and sequence. The vehicle must start smoothly and must not stall or stop midway. Do not use clutch semi-engagement during vehicle movement. Do not extend the head or hands outside the vehicle or open the door to look during driving. After each start or stop, the vehicle must not roll. Do not turn the steering wheel while stationary. Strictly follow driving operation procedures. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" issued by the public security department, motor vehicle driver's licenses are classified into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each level are as follows: A1 license: Permitted to drive large passenger vehicles. A2 license: Permitted to drive tractors and heavy or medium-sized full or semi-trailer combinations. A3 license: Permitted to drive city buses with a seating capacity of 10 or more. B1 license: Permitted to drive heavy passenger vehicles. B2 license: Permitted to drive heavy or medium-sized trucks, etc. C1 license: Permitted to drive small or mini passenger vehicles, etc. C2 license: Permitted to drive

I remember when I just got my B1 driver's license last year, the main test was divided into four parts: Subject 1 was the theoretical written test, memorizing various traffic rules, signs, and penalties—there were so many questions; Subject 2 was the practical field test, practicing skills like reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, and curve driving at the driving school—I often failed on the reversing part, so I recommend more simulation practice; Subject 3 was the road driving test, driving on real roads, testing traffic lights, turns, hill starts, and safe parking; Subject 4 was another theoretical test, but it focused more on safety awareness and emergency knowledge. The entire exam took over a month, and I couldn’t sleep before each test—finding a coach to correct mistakes was key to improving the pass rate.

My child recently took the B1 driving test, and I remember the exam process very clearly. First was the theory test for traffic rules in Subject 1, which required studying question banks. Then came Subject 2, practicing parking, reversing, and hill starts at the driving school, where precise movements were crucial to avoid mistakes. Next was Subject 3, the on-road driving test, where the examiner evaluated real-time skills like gear shifting and observation. Finally, Subject 4 was a written test on safety knowledge. My child said Subject 3 was the hardest, as strict examiners could easily deduct points. They recommended getting up early to practice more and staying relaxed during preparation.

The B1 driving test consists of four sections: Subject 1 tests theoretical knowledge of traffic laws, Subject 2 focuses on reversing and parking in a controlled area, Subject 3 evaluates road driving and adaptability, and Subject 4 assesses safety awareness. Among these, reversing in Subject 2 is the most error-prone and requires frequent practice; Subject 3 demands careful observation of road conditions. The entire process emphasizes foundational skills and standardized procedures.

I passed the B1 driver's license test, which included a theoretical written exam, field skill test, road driving, and safety education. Reviewing the rules for Subject 1 cannot be neglected; practicing for Subject 2, such as reverse parking, requires precise control; Subject 3 tests safety awareness while driving in real environments; Subject 4 education enhances civilized qualities. These tests are designed to ensure every driver has sufficient ability to drive safely without accidents.

Understanding the B1 test items is crucial. My experience suggests: for Subject 1, review the question bank comprehensively; for Subject 2, focus on honing reversing techniques during field practice; for Subject 3, pay attention to traffic lights and smooth gear shifting during road driving; for Subject 4, practice safety knowledge questions more, especially those easily overlooked details. The test content occasionally has minor updates, so it's advisable to exchange experiences with other candidates more frequently, aiming to cultivate safe driving habits and reduce risks.
