What are the requirements for upgrading from a B2 to an A2 license?
2 Answers
According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses," the requirements for upgrading from a B2 to an A2 license are as follows: the applicant must be between 22 and 50 years old. Additionally, the applicant must have held a B2 license for at least two years and must not have accumulated 12 or more penalty points in any of the three consecutive scoring cycles prior to the application. Below are the relevant requirements for an A2 license: 1. The first 12 months after obtaining an A2 license is a probationary period. During this time, driving an A2 vehicle must comply with the probationary regulations for A2 licenses, but driving a B2 vehicle is unrestricted; 2. The A2 license upgrade is for tractor-trailer vehicles, commonly known as "semi-trucks"; 3. Tractor-trailers are divided into full-trailer and semi-trailer types. Full-trailers are characterized by the tractor only towing the trailer without bearing its weight, while semi-trailers involve the tractor both towing and bearing the weight of the trailer.
I've been keeping an eye on driver's license matters, and the conditions for upgrading from B2 to A2 are quite clear. You must be at least 24 years old to apply. Don't rush into it – you'll need to hold your B2 license for at least two years of driving experience, with no accidents resulting in a full 12-point deduction during that period. A comprehensive medical check-up is required, including meeting vision standards and ensuring no sudden health issues like heart disease. For registration, choose a certified driving school for training. Master the theoretical test questions thoroughly, and demonstrate steady operation of the tractor during the practical exam. The total cost, including training and exam fees, is roughly two to three thousand yuan, taking about three to six months. Remember, this concerns road safety – driving large trailers after the upgrade demands higher skills. I recommend careful planning without haste, with ample practice to avoid mistakes during tests.
