What Kind of Driver's License is Needed to Drive a Semi-Trailer?

[DelValeria]

To drive a semi-trailer, an A2 driver's license is required. Semi-trailers are primarily used to transport large, indivisible cargo such as excavators. Below is more information about semi-trailers: Definition of a Semi-Trailer: A semi-trailer is a trailer where the axle is placed behind the vehicle's center of gravity (when the vehicle is evenly loaded) and is equipped with a coupling device that transmits horizontal and vertical forces to the tractor. Semi-trailers are typically three-axle trailers and come in various types, such as 11-meter warehouse-barrier semi-trailers, 13-meter warehouse-barrier semi-trailers, low-flatbed semi-trailers, etc. They are heavy-duty transport vehicles connected to the semi-tractor via a kingpin. Precautions for Driving a Semi-Trailer: When driving, avoid making large steering wheel movements because the vehicle body is relatively long. Excessive movement can cause rollovers, and extra caution is needed when turning. Always leave ample space to avoid the trailer's tail swinging and potentially hitting people.
