Here are the requirements for candidates applying for a B2 driver's license: 1. Age and height: Applicants must be at least 20 years old and under 60 years old; height must be at least 155cm. 2. Vision and color discrimination: Applicants must have naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart; no red-green color blindness. 3. Hearing: Able to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50cm from a tuning fork. 4. Upper and lower limbs: Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact with normal limb and finger movement functions; both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement functions, and the length difference must not exceed 5cm. 5. Trunk and neck: No movement dysfunction. 6. No diseases: Applicants with organic heart disease, epilepsy, Meniere's disease, vertigo, hysteria, paralysis agitans, mental illness, dementia, or other neurological diseases that affect limb movement and hinder safe driving are not eligible to apply.
To obtain a B2 driver's license, several mandatory conditions must be met. First, the applicant must be at least 20 years old, with an upper age limit of 60—no exceptions for overage applicants. Physical examination is particularly crucial: height must be at least 155 cm, vision must reach 5.0 or above, and there must be no color blindness or color weakness. The applicant must have fully functional limbs, with no physical disabilities that could affect safe driving. Hearing must also be normal, capable of discerning sounds clearly from a distance of 50 cm. Importantly, there must be no history of drug abuse or records of drug injections within the past three years. The registration process includes submitting documents to a certified driving school, undergoing a medical check-up, and providing photos and ID. The test consists of four parts: Subjects 1 and 4 are written tests, Subject 2 involves 16 maneuvers in a closed course (such as reverse parking and hill starts), and Subject 3 is an on-road driving test. After passing these, there's an additional safety and civilized driving knowledge test. The entire process typically requires 3-6 months of preparation for optimal results.
I started preparing for my B2 license last year, and here's my experience. The most basic step is to bring your ID card to the driving school for registration and payment. Tuition fees vary by location, and I paid over 5,000 yuan, which covered all subject fees. The medical examination is quite strict - if your vision isn't at least 5.0, you'll be disqualified immediately. Subject 1 has a question bank of over 1,000 questions, and you need to score 90 to pass. Subject 2 takes the most time - I practiced for two months before daring to take the test, especially parallel parking and right-angle turns where it's easy to cross the line. For Subject 3 road test, don't be nervous, pay attention to details like using turn signals and yielding to pedestrians. Retakes cost about 300 yuan each time, so it's better to pass everything in one go to save trouble. After passing, don't rush to drive heavy trucks - there's a one-year probation period during which you must not accumulate 12 penalty points, or your qualification will be revoked. The entire process takes about half a year, so it's best to arrange your work schedule before registering.
