To obtain a B2 license, the applicant must be at least 21 years old. The requirements for the B2 license examination are as follows: 1. Age: Must be at least 21 years old; 2. Height: For large vehicles, the height must be over 1.55 meters; 3. Residence: Must study in the place of residence, not in a temporary residence. If the original driver's license is from another region, it must be transferred back to the original place of residence for study; 4. Physical conditions: Both eyes must have naked or corrected visual acuity of at least 5.0 on the logarithmic visual acuity chart, with no red-green color blindness. Both ears must be able to distinguish the direction of sound sources at a distance of 50 centimeters from a tuning fork. 5. B2 license requirements: A B2 license can be obtained directly as an initial license, or it can be added after holding any other driver's license for at least one year; 6. Violation record requirements: When applying for a B2 license, there must be no record of full penalty points within the past year.

I remember I was already 21 when I took the B2 driver's license test. Actually, there are strict age requirements for this exam. By law, you must be at least 20 years old to register, with the upper limit being 60. I'd advise against rushing to take the test right after turning 20—it's better to get some practice driving smaller vehicles first. The B2 test consists of four stages: Theory Test (Subject 1) where you need to memorize traffic signs; Practical Skills Test (Subject 2) where you must demonstrate maneuvering large vehicles like reverse parking and garage shifting; Road Test (Subject 3) which includes challenges like hill starts on steep slopes; and finally a written exam on safety knowledge. Honestly, handling large vehicles is completely different from small cars—the steering wheel is extremely heavy, and you really need some arm strength. When enrolling in driving school, remember to bring your ID card and medical examination form. Many driving schools now even offer infrared test track training.

The youngest B2 license trainee at our driving school just turned 20 when he enrolled. This age is ideal with sufficient physical strength, quick reflexes, and fast learning. However, note that the driver's license is valid for 6 years, and it must be downgraded to a Class C license after turning 60. The current tests are quite strict - even the parallel parking exercise has time limits, and touching the boundary lines means immediate failure. We recommend getting a color vision test at the DMV before enrollment as color weakness is disqualifying. Always wear flat shoes during practice, and during the exam, adjust mirrors before starting the engine - examiners watch these details closely. Learning heavy vehicle operation is quite helpful for future transportation jobs, though the tuition is significantly more expensive than for a Class C license.

There are clear age restrictions for obtaining a B2 driver's license. Applicants must be at least 20 years old, and those over 60 are not eligible. My neighbor's child took the test last year and failed the subject 2 twice before passing. The requirements for large vehicle tests are particularly detailed, such as completing the hill start within 30 seconds and parking in reverse in one attempt. Remember to prepare eight white-background ID photos when registering, and those with myopia need to wear glasses for corrected vision testing. Actually, getting the license is just the beginning. Driving a truck requires familiarity with cargo securing techniques, and the braking distance in rainy weather is much longer than for small cars. Nowadays, it's convenient to check exam progress through the Traffic Management 12123 app.

Does Using Air Conditioning While Driving Consume More Fuel?

Using air conditioning while driving does consume more fuel. Here are some explanations about using air conditioning while driving: 1. Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Excessive use of the car's air conditioning system. To reduce the fuel consumption caused by the air conditioning and lower the actual fuel consumption of the vehicle. The temperature setting of the car's air conditioning is at the lowest value. In this case, the air conditioning pump will keep running, and the blower will remain at a high fan speed, which actually increases fuel consumption. 2. Ways to reduce fuel consumption: The correct method is to immediately roll down the windows after entering a car that has been exposed to the sun. Do not turn on the air conditioning right away. Wait for one or two minutes until the temperature inside and outside the car balances, then close the windows and turn on the air conditioning. Make sure to set the air circulation to the indoor circulation mode.

What to Do If You Discover the Car You Picked Up Is a Stock Vehicle?

When you discover that the car you picked up is a stock vehicle, it's necessary to discuss the situation based on different scenarios. Here is some information about stock vehicles: 1. Stock Vehicle: There is no clear legal definition for a stock vehicle, but the term "stock vehicle" does exist in the automotive sales industry. Generally, it refers to vehicles that have been manufactured for more than 12 months, and those produced over 2 years ago are considered severely aged stock vehicles. Typically, the manufacturing date is marked on the nameplate in the engine compartment, and the length of time from now indicates the actual stock duration of the vehicle. 2. Asserting Your Rights: If the contract does not specify the manufacturing date of the car, you cannot assert your rights through contract law. Conversely, if it is agreed that the car must be new upon delivery, you can request the other party to replace it with a new vehicle on the grounds of breach of contract.

Is There 95-Grade Diesel?

There is no 95-grade diesel fuel. Below is an introduction to diesel categories: 1. Diesel grades include 0#, 5#, 10#, -10#, -20#, -35#, and -50# diesel. 2. 5# diesel is suitable for temperatures above 8°C. 3. 0# diesel is suitable for temperatures between 4°C and 8°C. 4. -20# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -5°C and -14°C. 5. -35# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -14°C and -29°C. 6. -50# diesel is suitable for temperatures between -29°C and -44°C. Below is additional information about diesel: 1. Diesel is a light petroleum product, a complex mixture of hydrocarbons (with carbon atom numbers ranging approximately from 10 to 22). 2. It is primarily produced by blending diesel fractions obtained through processes such as crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, thermal cracking, hydrocracking, and petroleum coking. It can also be produced from shale oil processing and coal liquefaction. 3. There are two main categories: light diesel (boiling range approximately 180°C to 370°C) and heavy diesel (boiling range approximately 350°C to 410°C). Diesel is widely used in large vehicles, railway locomotives, and ships.

What Causes Stalling at Startup?

Stalling at startup is caused by insufficient driving skills or the use of substandard fuel. Here are some explanations for stalling at startup: 1. Fuel Tank: No fuel in the tank, or the battery voltage is too low, causing the starter motor to fail or not reach the required starting speed. A faulty idle motor, characterized by immediate stalling if no throttle is applied after starting. Clogged fuel lines. 2. Vehicle Faults: Vehicle control system failure, which is rare but cannot be ruled out. Clogged intake pipes, possibly due to foreign objects entering—check the pipes from the air intake, air filter to the throttle valve. 3. Fuel Consumption Impact: If the engine stalls and is restarted multiple times in a short period, it can affect fuel consumption. Frequent stalling at startup can shorten the lifespan.

Which Cars Have the Gear Shift on the Steering Wheel?

Some cars with paddle shifters and column-mounted gear shifts have the gear shift on the steering wheel. Here are some details about these gear shifts: 1. Column-mounted gear shift: The column-mounted gear shift is typically located on the right rear side of the steering wheel and is shaped like a lever. The most representative models are Mercedes-Benz and Tesla, as Tesla also uses the gear shift assembly from Mercedes-Benz. In most cars, the lever on the right rear side of the steering wheel is used to adjust the windshield wipers. However, in cars with column-mounted gear shifts, this lever serves as the gear shift. 2. Paddle shifters: Drivers of cars equipped with paddle shifters can shift gears without stepping on the clutch pedal, directly using the paddle shifters instead. Paddle shifters were initially widely used in racing cars due to their convenience and high efficiency in shifting.

What does PRT mean in automobiles?

PRT stands for Plastic Reinforced Technology, abbreviated in Chinese as reinforced polyurethane. PRT products boast advantages such as impact resistance, resistance to deformation and fracture, long-term UV aging resistance, excellent weather resistance, and particularly outstanding low-temperature impact performance. They do not easily become brittle or crack under impact at -40°C, and are environmentally friendly with no harmful effects. Application in automobiles: Due to its superior impact resistance, flexibility, weather resistance, and environmental friendliness, PRT is widely used abroad for manufacturing both interior and exterior automotive components, such as front and rear bumpers, body kits, dashboards, steering wheels, and seats. PRT products used for automotive interior and exterior parts are typically rigid, high-density cross-linked PU products. Compared to the PP materials commonly used in original factory body kits, they offer better flexibility and low-temperature resistance. Additionally, the incorporation of carbon fiber or glass fiber as a skeleton enhances rigidity and strength, addressing the drawbacks of PU products being too soft and prone to deformation or brittleness under external forces. PRT technology: Currently, the core PRT technologies are still controlled by industrially advanced European countries such as Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Due to the complexity of PRT manufacturing processes, production is limited, and this technology is primarily adopted by high-end automotive brands or professional car modification manufacturers. In Europe, renowned brands like Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, and Volvo utilize this technology. For instance, models such as the Mercedes SL, Jaguar X100+300, Rolls-Royce L-Version, and Porsche GT2 partially incorporate PRT materials in their body air kits, foot pedals, wheel arches, and mudguards. Unlike many other elastomers, PRT products do not deform under high temperatures during automotive painting processes. By adding certain materials, their temperature resistance range can be adjusted. With high-quality molds, the products can maintain an 'A' grade automotive finish. PRT products: In China's automotive sector, the application of PRT is still in its infancy, primarily because there are currently no manufacturers that fully master PRT molding technology. China's vast territory and significant temperature differences between its northern and southern regions often lead to fragility issues with the widely used PP products in vehicles. For example, minor collisions on Chinese roads frequently result in parts shattering into pieces. The introduction of PRT materials will significantly improve this situation. It is foreseeable that with the rapid development of China's automotive industry and increasing awareness of in-car environmental pollution, PRT automotive component products will gain their deserved market share.
