What does the B2 inspection validity period mean?

[DelBryce]

The B2 inspection validity period refers to the expiration date of the annual inspection for a B2 driver's license. If the date recorded on the license is May 1, 2022, the vehicle owner must complete the inspection process at the vehicle management office before May 1, 2022. If there are no traffic violation points recorded during the current cycle, the owner can be exempted from this inspection. However, if there are violation points, the owner must complete the relevant procedures. For Class C motor vehicle licenses, the inspection period has been abolished, and owners only need to renew the license upon expiration. Driving with an uninspected license, if discovered by traffic police, will result in penalties. Even if the owner is unaware, penalties cannot be avoided. Therefore, it is crucial to remember the license's expiration date and complete the inspection process promptly. The B2 motor vehicle license inspection can be processed at the vehicle management office or the traffic management department of the public security authority. Alternatively, it can be completed via the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B274) on Android 12 or higher. After inspection, the license will be restored to 12 points without affecting its use. For the first renewal, if no points exceed 12 within the 6-year validity period, the license will be renewed for 10 years. If points reach 12 in any year, the renewal will still be for 6 years. Similarly, after obtaining a 10-year license, if no points exceed 12 within that period, the next renewal will grant a long-term valid license. Inspection method: First, download the Traffic Management 12123 app and log in using the ID number. After logging in, click "More" on the homepage for additional service options. Under "Education and Learning," select "Inspection Education Application" and choose between online or on-site education. Opting for online education allows learning via mobile. Carefully read the instructions and agree to proceed. Upon successful scheduling, click "Start Learning" to begin the inspection process. The B2 license is valid until the holder turns 60. Drivers holding B2, B1, A2, A1, or A3 licenses cannot operate large or medium passenger trucks, tractors, or city buses after turning 60. They must visit the issuing vehicle management office to downgrade their license, typically to a small passenger vehicle or automatic transmission vehicle. B2 license holders can drive manual or automatic transmission passenger vehicles with 9 seats or fewer, as well as heavy or medium trucks or specialized operation vehicles. Other permitted vehicle types include C1 (small cars), C2 (small automatic cars), C3 (low-speed trucks), C4 (three-wheeled cars), and M (wheeled mechanical vehicles). Medium and heavy trucks are typically used for hauling, like dump trucks. Specialized operation vehicles include those with dedicated equipment, such as fire trucks or sprinkler trucks. To apply for a B2 license, the following requirements must be met: Possess a C1 license for at least 3 years. Be between 22 and 50 years old. Have uncorrected or corrected vision of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart. No more than 12 penalty points in the latest scoring cycle. No record of serious traffic accidents or drunk driving.
