Here are the requirements for obtaining a B2 driver's license: 1. Age between 20 and 50 years old. 2. Height of at least 155 cm. 3. Naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart for both eyes. 4. No red-green color blindness. 5. Ability to distinguish the direction of sound sources with each ear at a distance of 50 cm from a tuning fork. 6. Both thumbs must be intact, and each hand must have at least three other fingers intact with normal limb and finger movement function. 7. Both lower limbs must be intact with normal movement function, and the length difference should not exceed 5 cm. 8. No movement dysfunction in the torso or neck.
I recently obtained my B2 driver's license, and the requirements are quite specific. The minimum age is 20 years old, which is a hard threshold. The medical examination is crucial—your vision must be at least 4.9, and you must be able to distinguish traffic light colors. During my check-up, they inspected everything meticulously, even finger functionality—both thumbs must be intact, and at least three other fingers must be functional. After registration, you must pass four tests: Theory Test 1 involves answering 100 computer-based questions, with a passing score of 90; Test 2 is the most troublesome, covering skills like reverse parking and hill starts; Test 3 is the road test, requiring at least 10 kilometers of driving; and finally, Test 4 covers safety and civility theory. If you already have a small vehicle license, you must wait at least one year with no full-point violations before upgrading. The entire process takes at least three to four months—be sure to choose a certified driving school for training.
Having worked in driver training for seven or eight years, I've noticed many people are unclear about the B2 license application requirements. The minimum age is 20 years old, with no upper limit, but those over 60 must submit an annual medical report. Physical requirements include a height of at least 150cm, vision meeting the 4.9 standard, and no conditions like epilepsy that could affect driving. When registering, bring your ID card and medical examination form. The initial application fee is around 6,000 yuan. The exam sequence is fixed: Theory Test (traffic regulations), Practical Test 1 (16 items, with reverse parking being the most challenging), Practical Test 2 (road test focusing on gear coordination), and Theory Test 2 (case analysis). If you already have a C license, you must have no 12-point penalty in the last 12 months to upgrade. A three-month preparation period with two hours of daily practice is recommended for best results.
