What are the requirements for obtaining an A2 driver's license now?
2 Answers
The conditions for obtaining an A2 driver's license are: 1. You must have held a B license for more than three years or an A1 license for more than one year, and have no record of accumulating 12 penalty points in the last three consecutive scoring cycles before applying; 2. You must apply for the additional driving qualification at the vehicle management office of the jurisdiction where your current driver's license was issued, as it cannot be processed elsewhere; 3. You must be between 24 and 50 years old; 4. Your height must be at least 155 cm; 5. Your naked eye or corrected vision must reach at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. The other vehicle types that an A2 license allows you to drive include: B1 (medium-sized passenger vehicles), B2 (large trucks), C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic transmission cars), C3 (low-speed cargo vehicles), C4 (three-wheeled vehicles), and M (wheeled self-propelled machinery vehicles).
I have a lot to say about the requirements for obtaining an A2 driver's license. Having worked in transportation for many years, I know that you must be at least 24 years old—too young means less experience and a higher risk of accidents. You must first hold a B1 or B2 license for at least two years without major violations, which tests your driving habits. Health-wise, you need to pass a medical exam at a hospital, ensuring your vision and hearing meet the standards; otherwise, controlling a large vehicle will be difficult. The test includes both theory and practical driving sections, with reversing into a bay and curve driving being the most challenging. I recommend practicing these maneuvers at a driving school beforehand. Some people rush to get on the road but neglect safety—remember, driving large vehicles carries heavy responsibilities, so steady and cautious driving is key. After obtaining the license, regular health check-ups are essential to prevent hidden risks. Don’t sacrifice your future for short-term gains.
