What are the new regulations for driving semi-trailers during the A2 probationary period?
1 Answers
During the probationary period of an A2 license, holders are not allowed to drive semi-trailers on the road. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' A2 license holders during the probationary period cannot operate motor vehicles that tow trailers, but they can drive the tractor unit (the front part of the truck). Additionally, driving a tractor unit alone is not permitted on highways. To drive on highways, they must be accompanied by a driver with at least three years of experience holding a driving license of the same or a higher class. Below is relevant information about the A2 driving license: 1. Permitted vehicle types: The A2 license allows the holder to drive tractor units, including heavy and medium-sized full trailers and semi-trailer combinations, as well as vehicles under B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and M categories. 2. A2 license demerit point regulations: If a driving license accumulates 12 or more demerit points within a scoring cycle, the license will be confiscated by the vehicle management office. The holder must attend a seven-day course on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge at the traffic management department of the public security authority where the license was issued or where the violation occurred within fifteen days. After passing the examination on road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge within twenty days, the demerit points will be cleared.
