B2 driver's license requirements: Age requirements: 1. For applying for large passenger vehicle driving categories, the applicant must be between 26 and 50 years old; 2. Full-time driving vocational education students applying for large passenger vehicle or tractor driving categories must be between 20 and 50 years old. Physical requirements: 1. Height: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, large trucks, or trolleybuses, the height requirement is at least 155 cm; for medium-sized passenger vehicles, the height requirement is at least 150 cm. 2. Vision: For large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the naked or corrected vision must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; for other driving categories, the naked or corrected vision must reach at least 4.9. 3. Color vision: No red-green color blindness. 4. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound with each ear at 50 cm from a tuning fork. 5. Upper limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact, with normal limb and finger movement. 6. Lower limbs: Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and the length difference must not exceed 5 cm. However, if the left lower limb is missing or has impaired movement, the applicant can apply for a small automatic transmission vehicle driver's license. 7. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction.
When I was preparing for the B2 license test, I specifically consulted the driving school. The requirements include being between 21 and 60 years old, meeting physical health standards, with uncorrected vision of at least 5.0 in both eyes and no color blindness. You must register in your registered residence or place of residence. If you've held a driver's license before, there should be no full-point penalty record in the last three scoring cycles. It's particularly important to note that for Subject 2, you must complete at least 78 training hours. Maneuvers like reversing into the garage and hill starts are really challenging. The medical examination report is only valid for six months, so make sure not to submit an expired one when registering. Currently, the probation period for B2 has been extended from 12 months to 18 months, and during this period, you must display a probation sign on your vehicle when engaging in transportation.
Last time I helped my cousin apply for a driver's license, I researched the B2 license requirements: must be at least 21 years old, height over 155cm, and hold a C license for 2 years before upgrading. My instructor said the key is the physical examination certificate—county hospitals mainly test vision, color discrimination, and limb mobility. Those with color weakness are directly disqualified. All traffic violations must be cleared before applying, and those with drunk driving records are outright denied. For license upgrades, you must return to the original license issuing location to process it—out-of-town licenses need to be transferred back first. The test vehicle is a truck with a trailer, and maneuvers like the single-plank bridge and continuous obstacles are ten times harder than with a regular car.
