What is the difference between upgrading from C1 to B2 and directly obtaining a B2 driver's license?
1 Answers
Directly obtaining a B2 license and upgrading from C1 to B2 have the following differences: 1. Scoring cycle: To upgrade from C1 to B2, you must have no record of 12 penalty points in the previous scoring cycle and the current scoring cycle. There is no such restriction when directly applying for a B2 license. 2. Probation period: After successfully upgrading from C1 to B2, driving a small passenger car during the probation period is not restricted. However, if you directly obtain a B2 license, driving any vehicle is subject to probation period restrictions. 3. Penalty points: If a B2 license obtained through C1 upgrade accumulates 12 penalty points during the probation period, after retaking the subject one exam, the license will be downgraded to C1. If a directly obtained B2 license accumulates 12 penalty points during the probation period, the license will be revoked and invalidated.
