What is the difference between additional driving license and direct examination?

[Hawthorne]

Both follow the same examination registration process, but there are differences. Below are the specific details: 1. Main differences: Additional driving license requires taking the exam twice and paying two fees. Directly applying for a B2 license does not require the C1 registration fee. Moreover, 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, drunk driving, or other major violations before applying for the B2 upgrade. 2. Differences between C1 and B2: The minimum age for application differs—C1 applicants must be at least 18 years old, while B2 applicants must be at least 21. The types of vehicles allowed to drive also differ. C1 license holders can drive: C1 small cars, C2 small automatic transmission cars, C3 low-speed trucks, and C4 three-wheeled vehicles. 3. Examination location differences: C1 applicants can register for the exam at any local vehicle management office, while B2 applicants must register at the vehicle management office in their registered residence.
