What are the test contents for a B2 driver's license after one year?
4 Answers
According to the relevant regulations on the use of driver's licenses, the test contents for a B2 driver's license after one year include: knowledge tests on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency response, etc. The contents of road traffic safety laws and regulations and safe and civilized driving are related to the content of Subject 1 and Subject 4 of the driver's license test. By combining the contents of Subject 1 and Subject 4, another test can be conducted. Below is the relevant introduction: According to Article 74 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," the first 12 months after a motor vehicle driver initially applies for a driver's license or adds a permitted driving type is the probationary period. For newly obtained driver's licenses for large passenger vehicles, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, and large trucks, within 30 days after the end of the probationary period, the driver must participate in knowledge tests on road traffic safety laws and regulations, safe and civilized driving, emergency response, etc., and receive no less than half an hour of traffic accident case warning education.
I remember clearly that I just passed the B2 probationary license conversion last year. Starting from the exact one-year anniversary of obtaining the license, you must take the safety and civilized driving knowledge test (commonly known as Subject 4) at the DMV within 30 days. Passing requires scoring 90 out of 50 questions, focusing on life-saving knowledge like handling emergencies, first aid for injuries, and driving techniques in severe weather. After the test, you must watch a 30-minute accident warning education video before getting the endorsement. Remember! If you accumulate 6 penalty points during the probationary period, it will be extended by one year. If you get another 6 or more points, your license will be revoked! The test is free, but don't delay—failing to take it within 30 days may result in cancellation of your driving qualification.
My cousin just completed this procedure last month. After the probation period for a B2 driver's license expires, you need to participate in two sessions: first, a computer-based test with 50 questions on safe driving knowledge, similar to the original Subject 4 exam but more focused on practical hazard avoidance; followed by mandatory case-based safety education on traffic accidents. You must personally bring your ID card and original driver's license to the DMV to handle this, and now many cities allow online appointment scheduling for the test. Special attention to those driving freight trucks—you must pass this before applying for a vocational qualification certificate. It's recommended to practice with the 'Driver's License Test Prep' app in advance, as the question bank has added many new scenarios specific to handling freight vehicle situations.
A veteran driver in our company reminded us new hires: After the B2 probation period, the main test is the in-depth application of traffic regulations. The 50 questions include essential knowledge for professional drivers, such as emergency handling of truck tire blowouts and hazardous material leaks. The system will focus on assessing judgment in scenarios like mountain roads, night driving, and long downhill slopes. Only after passing the exam and having 'Probation Passed' printed on the supplementary page of the driver's license will you be considered a formal driver. A reminder to everyone: During the probation period, be sure to control your actions—running a red light will deduct 6 points and directly extend the probation period, and drunk driving will completely ruin your chances.
