The consequences of overdue penalty points review for B2 license include fines for the party involved. If the review is not attended for three consecutive scoring cycles, the highest permitted driving model qualification will be revoked, resulting in a downgrade of the driver's license. Below is relevant information about the B2 driver's license: 1. Driving scope: In addition to medium and heavy-duty trucks, it also permits driving other approved 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 license examination 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, 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 rain and fog weather, simulating slippery roads, simulating tunnel driving, simulating highway driving, and simulating emergency handling.
Last time, my neighbor Lao Zhang suffered from this. His B2 driver's license had 3 points deducted, and he failed to undergo the required review on time. When he was caught by traffic police over half a month later, he was fined 300 yuan on the spot. That wasn't the end of it—if you forget to review for three consecutive years, the highest vehicle class qualification of your driver's license will be directly revoked, meaning a B2 license could be downgraded to a C1. The worst part is that driving during the overdue period is considered illegal, and in case of an accident, insurance might refuse to cover it. Now, Lao Zhang sets a quarterly reminder on his phone and goes to the DMV 30 days in advance, afraid of making the same mistake again.
Here's a true story: Last year, our team's Xiao Wang got into trouble over this. He delayed the inspection of his B2 license by 20 days after the scoring cycle ended, and as a result, he was fined over 400 yuan during a roadside check when he returned to work, plus he had to retake the theoretical training. What's even more frustrating is that the vehicle management office's system automatically recorded the overdue status, which blocked his license renewal last month. Now, if the inspection is overdue by more than thirty days, the vehicle management office will restrict all driver's license-related services. If the delay accumulates to three consecutive years, the system will automatically initiate a downgrade procedure, and driving a heavy truck will be out of the question.
Attention to those in the freight transportation business, overdue B2 inspection can really cause trouble. My colleague forgot to get inspected last month and was fined 500 yuan. The traffic police said that continuing to drive during the overdue period is considered driving without a license. The key is to look at the continuous records—two overdue incidents might just result in fines and points, but if you go three consecutive years without inspection, the system will forcibly downgrade your license. Last time I went to the transportation management office, I saw a case where a driver who was overdue for three years got downgraded to a C1 license and lost his job. Now, I make sure my apprentices set calendar reminders to complete safety education within 30 days after the scoring cycle ends.
