What subjects need to be tested for upgrading from B2 to B1 license?

B2 to B1 license upgrade requires passing all three test subjects. Here are the relevant details: 1. Sequential examination: After the applicant successively passes Subject 1, Subject 2, and Subject 3, the vehicle management office will issue the motor vehicle driver's license within one working day. Applicants will receive education on traffic safety, civilized driving awareness, and traffic accident case warnings, participate in a pre-license oath ceremony, and then receive their motor vehicle driver's license. 2. Requirements: To apply for adding a medium-sized bus (B1) driving category, the applicant must have held another eligible driving license for more than one year and have no full-point penalty record in the most recent scoring cycle before application.

As an experienced truck driver with years of experience, I took several tests when upgrading to a B1 license: First was the theoretical exam (Subject 1), testing knowledge of traffic regulations, especially rules related to passenger vehicles like overload control. Then came the field driving test (Subject 2), requiring precise reverse parking – after all, buses have large turning radii – as well as hill starts and stops to assess vehicle stability on slopes. The road test (Subject 3) was more practical, simulating passenger transport with actual bus driving, evaluating turns, gear shifts, and safety operations. Finally, Subject 4 was a written exam on safety knowledge. The whole process requires thorough preparation. I recommend practicing control techniques at a driving school beforehand since upgrading requires holding a B2 license for at least one year with no serious traffic violations. The tests aren't difficult, but don't slack off – review the question bank thoroughly.

As a car enthusiast, I just upgraded my license from B2 to B1 last month, and the test was quite exciting! The process included a written test on traffic regulations for Subject 1, focusing on passenger vehicle regulations. The field test for Subject 2 involved reverse parking, S-curves, and starting on a steep slope, with particular emphasis on accurately stopping large vehicles during reverse parking. The road test for Subject 3 required driving a passenger vehicle on the road, where the examiner checked lane changes and parking safety. Finally, Subject 4 tested general safety knowledge. Using a mobile app for practice questions was a big help, and the exam fee was a few hundred yuan. Before upgrading, you need at least one year of driving experience with a B2 license. Practicing multiple times to get the feel is crucial—don’t rush the process, and you’ll pass the test.

As someone who prioritizes safety, I emphasize that the B1 license upgrade exam is not just about skills, but also a safety test: Subject 1 tests regulations, helping drivers understand the unique risks of passenger vehicles; Subject 2's field test, like hill starts, simulates actual parking without rolling; Subject 3's road test evaluates your judgment when carrying passengers, such as stability during emergency braking; Subject 4 focuses on safety and civilized driving knowledge. Preparation should include watching case videos to reduce accident risks. The prerequisite for the upgrade is holding a B2 license for at least one year with no drunk driving history. After passing, handling large vehicles feels more reliable.
