What is the maximum age limit for obtaining a B2 driver's license?
2 Answers
You can apply for a B2 driver's license until the age of 50. Below are the requirements for the B2 driver's license (large truck) examination: 1. Age: Must be at least 21 years old; 2. Height: For large vehicles, the height must be at least 1.55 meters; 3. Residence: Must study in the place of residence (within the city-level administrative area of the registered residence) and cannot study in a temporary residence. If the original driver's license is from another region, it must be transferred back to the place of origin for study; 4. Physical condition: Both eyes must have naked or corrected vision reaching at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with no red-green color blindness; Each ear must be able to distinguish the direction of sound from a tuning fork placed 50 centimeters away.
I remember my neighbor Lao Wang just turned 60 last year. He originally wanted to get a B2 driver's license to drive heavy trucks, but found out from the driving school that you can't apply for it after turning 60. The rules clearly state that the age requirement for applying for a B2 license is between 20 and 60 years old. Once you pass the 60-year threshold, it's a hard stop - you can only drive regular cars or get a C1 license. This is actually a good thing because operating large vehicles requires high physical reflexes. As people age, their vision and motor skills decline, making truck driving riskier. That's why I often advise young people to get licensed early - you can apply in your early 20s and gain experience. Regular health checkups are also important; you need to confirm you don't have any major illnesses that would affect driving before applying.
