What is the maximum age for holding a Class B driver's license?
2 Answers
Class B driver's license can be held until the age of 60. Class B licenses are divided into B1 and B2. The B1 license corresponds to medium-sized buses, with an age requirement of 21 to 60 years old for application. The B2 license corresponds to large trucks, with an age requirement of 26 to 60 years old for application. Below are the age requirements for other vehicle types: 1. For urban buses, trolleybuses, or trams: 20 to 50 years old. 2. For tractor-trailers: 22 to 50 years old. 3. For large buses: 22 to 60 years old.
Regarding the age limit for driving with a Class B license, I clearly remember it's capped at 60 years old. Having driven since my youth, I'm well aware that Class B licenses, such as those for medium-sized buses or trucks, are valid until the driver turns 60. On the birthday when you reach 60, you must go to the vehicle management office to downgrade to a regular car license (e.g., C1), as you can no longer operate large vehicles. This is because reaction times may decline with age, increasing the risk when driving larger vehicles. I also recommend that everyone pay attention to regular physical examinations—getting checked every two years or annually to ensure their physical condition is suitable for driving. Don’t wait until you're 60 to handle this; plan ahead to avoid affecting your travel or causing accidents. Safety should always come first, and from experience, adapting to driving smaller cars early on can be quite convenient.
