[HoldenDella]

The main differences between directly obtaining a B2 license and upgrading to a B2 license are: upgrading requires taking the test twice and paying fees twice. Directly obtaining a B2 license does not require the C1 registration fee. Additionally, upgrading from C1 to B2 requires that the C1 license has been held for at least one year, with no more than 12 penalty points, no speeding violations, no drunk driving, or other major violations before applying for the B2 upgrade. Differences between C1 and B2: 1. Age requirements for applying for the test: C1 applicants must be at least 18 years old, while B2 applicants must be at least 21 years old. 2. Vehicle types allowed to drive: C1 license holders can drive: C1 small cars; C2 small automatic transmission cars; C3 low-speed trucks; C4 three-wheeled cars. B2 license holders can drive: B2 large trucks; C1 small cars; C2 small automatic transmission cars; C3 low-speed trucks; C4 three-wheeled cars; M wheeled self-propelled machinery. 3. Test application location differences: C1 applicants can apply for the test at any city's vehicle management office. B2 applicants must apply for the test at the vehicle management office in their registered residence location.
