A2 driver's license specific requirements are as follows: 1. Age requirements: (1) Applicants for the A2 tractor driving category must be between 24 and 50 years old. (2) Full-time driving vocational education students applying for the tractor driving category must be between 20 and 50 years old. 2. Physical requirements: (1) Height: At least 155 cm. (2) Vision: Naked or corrected visual acuity must reach 5.0 or above on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. (Corrected vision refers to achieving 5.0 with glasses.) (3) Color vision: No red-green color blindness. (4) Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 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 function.

Application requirements (1) Cannot be obtained as an initial application; it can only be obtained through an additional driving license. That is, you must first obtain another driver's license and then apply for the A2 driver's license through an additional driving test. (2) Additional driving conditions: According to Article 14 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Order No. 123), applicants must already hold a motor vehicle driver's license to apply for an additional driving category.

As someone who's driven trucks for years, let me tell you the A2 license requirements are quite detailed. You must be at least 24 years old – that extra maturity matters when handling big rigs. You'll need to hold a B1 or B2 license for minimum two years first, proving your driving experience. The medical check is mandatory too – normal vision/hearing, no hypertension, etc. The test has theory and practical road exam sections, with the road test specifically checking reversing and cornering skills. Also, no history of serious violations like DUIs. The whole process takes months of prep – I recommend simulator practice to get familiar with trailer handling early. Don't underestimate these requirements; big rigs mean big risks (safety first!), but passing means solid job opportunities.

I still remember vividly when I took the A2 license test. You had to be at least 24 years old, and I waited for a long time. You needed to hold a B2 license for exactly two full years without any interruption. Before applying, I underwent a medical check-up to ensure I was physically fit. After enrolling in driving school, I studied theory and practical driving skills. The test was divided into two parts: a written exam on rules and knowledge, and a road test that included actual maneuvers like reversing into a parking space. I didn’t pass on the first try and had to retake it, which cost me quite a bit of money. The key is to maintain a clean driving record with no violations. Although the process was exhausting, driving a long trailer after passing the test was truly impressive, making it a suitable path for professional drivers. With enough practice, it’s no problem at all.

The basic requirements for obtaining an A2 driver's license are being at least 24 years old and holding a B1, B2, or A1 license for more than two years. After passing the physical examination, you need to undergo training, including both theoretical and practical driving lessons. The test consists of a written exam and a road test, and upon passing, you can drive heavy-duty trailers. It's important to have a clean safety record without serious violations, and the entire process emphasizes the accumulation of experience. When preparing, study traffic regulations thoroughly and practice driving as much as possible.
